In an interview with SaharaReporters, a
close associate of former President
Olusegun, who asked for anonymity, said
there would be “political earthquake” when the
former president releases his three-volume
autobiography by the middle of December.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
The source, who said he is one of a very few
circle of people privileged to have looked at the
autobiography, disclosed that Mr. Obasanjo
comes out swinging at President Goodluck
Jonathan, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar,
the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, and former
Governor James Onanefe Ibori of Delta, among
others.
According to the source, Mr. Obasanjo’s book,
which is titled “My Watch,” lays out the various
ways in which President Jonathan has failed as
a leader. “Chief Obasanjo shows how President
Goodluck Jonathan has failed in economic
policies and in the fight against Boko Haram.”
He added: “Instead of trying to move Nigeria
forward, the president has allowed his personal
and sectional agenda to pull Nigeria back.”
Asked why Mr. Obasanjo recently described Mr.
Jonathan’s performance as “below average,” the
source said the former president’s public rating
of the incumbent president “is actually mild.”
He added: “Wait until Baba’s [Mr. Obasanjo’s]
book comes out. He exposes the yansh [behind]
of Goodluck Jonathan. He shows that Jonathan
is confused, that his wife is the person ruling
Nigeria, and that the president is paranoid most
of the time.”
Our source added that Mr. Obasanjo was
disappointed at President Jonathan for only
listening to a few Ijaw people and a small circle
of court jesters who tell him that his critics
nurse personal animosity against him. “Was he
elected to rule only Ijaw people?” our source
asked. He then added: “Can you believe that the
president [Jonathan] once told Baba [Mr.
Obasanjo] that he has no time for Boko Haram
attacks because Boko Haram are his enemies
who are killing themselves?”
The source revealed that Mr. Obasanjo’s book
also focuses on how President Jonathan and
the late President Yar’Adua wrecked Nigeria’s
economy by allowing their close associates to
engage in unfettered stealing of the country’s
foreign reserves.
Our source disclosed that the former president’s
autobiography also details acts of ingratitude by
Mr. Yar’Adua and Mr. Jonathan, two men he
“installed in power,” in the words of our source.
“Chief Obasanjo’s book exposes how he was
betrayed by the same two men he installed in
power.” The book accuses the late Mr. Yar’Adua
of colluding with former Governor Ibori to
implicate Mr. Obasanjo in serious crimes.
“Instead of continuing where Chief Obasanjo
stopped to improve the power sector, Nigeria’s
railway system and so on, President Yar’Adua
wasted his time instituting probes into what
Baba did during his tenure,” said the source.
The source stated that former President
Obasanjo discovered that the Jonathan
administration was responsible for goading his
daughter, former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo, to
denigrate him in a public letter released in
December 2013. In the furious public letter, Ms.
Obasanjo described her father as “a liar,
manipulator, [and] two-faced hypocrite.”
According to the source, “President Jonathan
thought that he could destroy Baba by recruiting
his daughter to attack him, but Baba showed
that he is above them.”
He added that Mr. Obasanjo believes that
President Jonathan lost his way when he
allowed former chairman of the PDP’s board of
trustees, Tony Anenih, into his inner circles.
“Baba worked with Chief Tony Anenih and knew
what kind of person he is. So when the
president began to depend on Chief Anenih,
Baba knew the president is finished,” the source
disclosed.
Our source said the former president has used
the opportunity of his exhaustive autobiography
to also beam the searchlight on Mr. Atiku, who
served as vice president to Mr. Obasanjo for
two terms. The two men fell apart towards the
end of Mr. Obasanjo’s first term. During the
second term, Mr. Obasanjo sidelined Mr. Atiku,
with the two men trading accusations of
corruption. In the end, Mr. Atiku worked behind
the scenes to scuttle the former president’s
third term ambition, even though our source
disclosed that Mr. Obasanjo restates his
position that he was never interested in
changing the Nigerian constitution to run for a
third term. In retaliation, Mr. Obasanjo ensured
that his former VP’s presidential aspirations
were thwarted. Even though Mr. Obasanjo has
had several private meetings with Mr. Atiku
since they left office, our source disclosed that
“Baba will never support Alhaji Atiku to rule this
country.” He said the former president’s
biography highlights Mr. Atiku’s character flaws,
including the former VP’s widespread acts of
corruption which, the source said, covered
various sectors of the economy.
Asked whether it was possible to mend the rift
between President Jonathan and Mr. Obasanjo,
the source asked, “How can?” He then added:
“Baba will do everything possible to make sure
that he [Mr. Jonathan] does not return to
power.”
Our investigation revealed that Mr. Obasanjo’s
book, which will be released worldwide on
December 12, is published by Farafina, one of
Nigeria’s leading domestic publishers with
headquarters in Lagos.

I don't believe sahararepoters

Aaaarghh! This man ruled Nigeria for 11 years with nothing to show for it, now he's out of power and just won't shut up.....somebody put a dild.o in his mouth already!!

“Can you believe that the
president [Jonathan] once told Baba [Mr.
Obasanjo] that he has no time for Boko Haram
attacks because Boko Haram are his enemies
who are killing themselves?”

Many may not believe this, but it's absolutely the truth. I have idea of the book inspite of ....

Atiku is a failure since 1999. People are ready to collect his money and wish him farewell to Adamawa december 10.

As regard Oga Jona,he made a mistake indeed. Truly Obj started power project that Yaradua neglected and abandoned. This was very glaring! Jonathan is being influenced, remote-controlled and instigated by the enemies of Nigeria.

You missed the point! Your claim reveals who you are mentally. The progress, recognition, achievements and impacts of BRF become possible simply because he met a good foundation built by Tinubu and thred its continuity.

Jonathan didn't do likewise because he surrounded himself with men with blurred vision for Nigeria. OBJ indeed, with all conscience laid a very robust foundation for a better Nigeria.

Personalities like
Dora Akunyili: started well with Nafdac
Soludo: CBN was doing fine
Ribadu: EFCC
Ekwesili: tried her effort

But what can you say concerning those agencies today? Rots!

The difference between Obasanjo and Jonathan is that

OBJ: He does not allow himself to be influenced by those myopic and selfish politicians.

GEJ: He is a coward subjected himself to manipulation by his wife and clueless subordinates.
Etc

I lov this man calld obasanjo no time for nonsense reading elrufais boook sef in page 19 will finish b4 d end of dis week
will surely buy objz book

But obasanjo messsed up he should hav pickd some1 younger as at then knowing fully well dat during 2007 dere were a lot of politicians wif questionable character like duke or something or dat funny economist guy that runs Lagod business school.

Obasanjoz trick for being a powerful politician is: be open, be cosmopolitan, and have an attitude pple can relate wif datz why he and tinubu know their self wella

From what I understand, baba body is biting him that he is being irrelevant everyday. What he told former FCT Minister failed him, that he will be governing Nigeria from his farm.

There is no one without mistake. Don't let us focus on the mistakes but the intent for a betterment. The first mistake of OBJ was scrapping PTDF. It was a gruesome mistake!

But he did well, as the pioneer of the present dispensation of democracy. Baba laid a good foundation but forfeited by successive cluelessness.

Now, no way for Atiku because we know him as betrayal, traitor, and self-centred ambitious man

Obasanjo! Obasanjo!!Obasanjo!!! "U will do every thing possible" to stop Jonathan including using BOKO HARAM N MURDERING INNOCENT NIGERIANS!

In Mrs Jonathan's voice "diaris Godooooooh"

my watch...
that nice...


Atleast he is writing his biography...
e no easy jor...

hope he will state where he slept with his son's wife who needed a contract frm him..

make i no tok
i only they ask ni...
anyway na part nd percel of life sha..
but he should leave no stone unturn...
even when he ran away frm the warfront..
and pretended he was going to ph town,says isama..
make i no tok o.

naim biodata him dey write,so baba weldone.

Save your breath. Is Obasanjo currently sitting on billions and billions of Naira that belong to you and me or not? We can wax poetic on tales of who is being manipulated by his wife or who was straffing his daughter-in-law, but there's no denying that Obasanjo sufficiently enriched himself and his cronies at the expense of Nigerians. He's a thief.

Obj is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria

My command (Military ) = My watch (Civilian)

just shut up.

The name of the publishing company is given, hope the Presidency won't close it and confiscate the books?

Yes o, the bitter truth.

True, thats why we should vote PDP OUT!

Is Obasanjo God?

Don't allow emotional outburst to put you into trouble.

My ultimate wish for new year 2015 is that Baba should help us finish Jonathan's defeat. One last blow left now. So help us God.

From the little I have read all my suspicions have been confirmed. GEJ is a small poor guy who made good. What OBJ was thinking making this local ***l a VP is still beyond me. We need to take this guy out fast, if you give him three more years even the Ijaws themselves will boot him out. Shit will eventually smell no matter the packaging.

Without anything to show for it..are you sure?. The man left 67B-) in foreign reserves at least $10B-) in ECA. Most of the equipment GEJ used for power were imported by the OBJ regime and unfortunately abandoned at the ports.
