Text of Obasanjo's July 11 letter to Soyinka:
"Dear Wole,
"It was with sheer disbelief and the utmost surprise that I read the contents of a statement which was credited to you by The Punch newspaper of Monday, 7 July 2003, where you supposedly exposed the contents of a letter that my good friend and former Attorney-General of the Federation, the late and distinguished Chief Bola Ige, wrote to me a few days before his tragic murder.
"In the said statement, you were quoted as saying, inter-alia, that Chief Bola Ige had written a letter to me a few days before he was assassinated in which he purportedly said that 'he was ready to assist in ensuring a second term for the President but that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not win in any part of the South West.' You went further by saying that Chief Bola Ige 'wrote in the letter that he would work for the re-election of Obasanjo for the second term but that he would ensure, with everything that he had, that the PDP does not win one single seat in the South-West.' You were also quoted as saying that, 'the slain minister was worried about the antics of the PDP which he said was pointing towards a sinister plan to overrun the South-West politically but that he would make sure that the PDP did not win one local government in Yorubaland.'
"Now assuming that you have been quoted correctly and that you have indeed said such things, my response is as follows:
"The letter which Chief Ige sent to me and which was dated 19 December 2001 did not contain even one of these statements which you alleged were contained therein.
"I have taken the liberty of enclosing a copy of that letter for your perusal and for the record. It follows that what you have written about and indeed claim to be the contents of that letter is nothing short of perfidious falsehood. The truth is that I am completely at a loss to understand why you would wish to fabricate such stories or indeed sensationalise such matters. Again, I cannot understand why you would try to manipulate the situation and attempt to use the untimely and tragic death of a great son of Nigeria like Chief Bola Ige for what I can only describe as political purposes. I want to take this opportunity to urge you, and strongly too, to perhaps show a little bit more self-restraint, sobriety, decency and honesty in your public comments as regards the death of Chief Bola Ige. I believe that both you and I, and indeed all Nigerians, owe him at least that much.
"I sincerely hope that you will take my advice so that we can both continue to contribute in our own separate ways to the peace, development and progress of our great nation. Indeed, it is to that end and for that purpose that I have chosen to write you this letter.
"Needless to say if you had not made such statements or such mischievous and malicious falsehood I would not have been compelled to write this letter and say such things to you.
"I pray that you will have the humility and courage to accept any counsel on this matter and that you take such counsel in the right spirit and in good faith.
