Reports have started to gather steam that the current President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is planning on exposing the personal demands of one time Head of State's of Nigeria.

Guardian publication reveals that the face- off between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan may not be far from over as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said that the latter would soon disclose all alleged personal demands of the former that he had turned down since 2011 that might have fuelled the lingering animosity.

PDP declared that its leadership would decide on whether or not to sanction Obasanjo over allegation of anti-party activities.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja yesterday, the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani- Kayode, described Obasanjo's allegation that Jonathan was planning to perpetuate himself in power unconstitutional as reckless and pointing that the allegations were assertions that were

"capable of derailing our democracy and creating chaos in the land.

"The truth is that he knows that Jonathan will win next month's presidential election and that is why he wants to destroy the credibility of the whole process right from the outset. What he is trying to say in his latest contribution is that if President Jonathan wins, then the election must have been rigged right from the outset. This is not only wrong but it is also unfair and uncharitable."

Fani-Kayode challenged Obasanjo to prove his weighty allegations by presenting them before the Council of State and take it up there.

On Obasanjo's allegation that Jonathan was playing out a script of perpetuating himself in power like former Cote d'Voire President Laurent Gbabo, Fani Kayode stated:

"Jonathan has re-affirmed his commitment to the democratic process over and over again and he has also said that the handover date of May 29 is sacrosanct. In view of these assurances, one wonders why Obasanjo is creating such a hue and cry over nothing. What has he seen that no one else can see? One wonders what his motives are. Does he have to rule every government by proxy? Must every leader take instructions from him? Is it a case of ''if I cannot control you and tell you what to do then you must go?''

"President Obasanjo spoke about President Gbagbo and he claimed that President Jonathan was attempting to do a Gbagbo in Nigeria. The question that must be put to him is this: 'Who got Gbagbo out?' Was it not Jonathan's government that played a key role in ensuring that democracy was fully established in the Ivory Coast and did he not play a key role in ensuring that the Gbagbo plan to ''stay in power forever plan'' did not work?

On Obasanjo's alleged demands from Jonathan, Fani-Kayode stated:

"After Jonathan came to power, Obasanjo not only tried to control and teleguide him, but he also asked him to do a number of things that were simply wrong and unacceptable. It is for Jonathan himself to divulge those things and I am sure that he will do so at the appropriate time. Needless to say Jonathan refused to be teleguided and told what to do even though at all times he showed Obasanjo maximum respect and accorded him all the privileges, access and courtesies that is due to a former Head of State and a father and mentor. This continued to be the case even after Obasanjo consistently attempted to undermine his government and ridicule his efforts.
