Obasanjo’s Book Out, Declares President Jonathan Incapable Of Governing Well by Cyberbaze(m): 1:40pm On Dec 08, 2014 |
[img]http://1.bp..com/-ydqhy0bw9vw/VIWYQZZpyAI/AAAAAAAABsk/7tCbNI-8PEo/s280/my-watch-obasanjo.jpg[/img] An attempt by Buruji Kashamu, a close associate of President Goodluck Jonathan, to stop the publication of a three-volume book by former President Obasanjo, appears to have failed as SaharaReporters can confirm that the book has gone into circulation. A source close to Mr. Obasanjo confirmed to SaharaReporters late last night that copies of the former president’s exhaustive autobiography were already available to buyers in print form. The source that the book would soon be available in an electronic version that is beyond the jurisdiction of Nigerian courts. SaharaReporters has already obtained and read sections of the book scheduled for formal launch in Nigeria in a few days The book, whose three volumes chronicle the life of the controversial former president from birth till this year, aroused political interest after SaharaReporters exclusively reported that Mr. Obasanjo devotes significant pages to paint an unflattering portrait of President Jonathan. We reported that the book characterizes Mr. Jonathan as selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable of rising to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. Mr. Obasanjo also accuses the president of surrounding himself with aides and political associates with corrupt tendencies. Mr. Obasanjo’s book dedicates several parts in the book to point out some of Mr. Jonathan’s actions and inactions he considers ill-advised or disastrous for Nigeria. He depicts Mr. Jonathan as a man who has not only destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party but also led Nigeria in dire straights. The book focuses on several instances of policy somersaults by Mr. Jonathan as well as deliberate actions by the incumbent president that have imperiled Nigeria’s progress in the opinion of Mr. Jonathan. An Abuja-based lawyer and critic of Mr. Obasanjo accused the former president of seeking to use the book to earn cheap popularity, adding that Mr. Obasanjo cannot get away from responsibility for “sponsoring President Jonathan’s rise to political prominence and the Presidency.” “We have been saying it from day one that President Goodluck Jonathan does not have the qualities to become a true leader, but we cannot forget that Chief Obasanjo singlehandedly put him and the late President Umaru Yar’Adua in office,” the lawyer said. Mr. Obasanjo’s book also castigates former President Umaru Yar’Adua, former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, and former Governor James Ibori of Delta State, Bukola Saraki, among other political foes. In the book, the former president also makes an incredible claim that he was never interested in pursuing a third term while in office. “That is a clear lie,” said Mr. Obasanjo’s critic. “To even deny what is so obvious to every Nigerian shows that Chief Obasanjo has little regard for the truth.” Source = [url=http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/08/obasanjo%E2%80%99s-book-out-declares-president-jonathan-incapable-governing-well]SaharaReporters[/url] www.brandednaija..com 23 Likes 3 Shares |

After much anticipation from the public, former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s autobiography is out according to Sahara reporters. President Jonathan honours Obsanjo at Nigeria's centenary celebration President Jonathan honours Obsanjo at Nigeria’s centenary celebration The book named “My Watch” chronicles the life of Chief Obasanjo from birth till this year. In the book, Obasanjo devoted significant pages to President Goodluck Jonathan actions and in-actions as Nigeria’s president, where he took the current Nigerian leader to the cleaners, calling him several names like selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable, accusing the president of failing to rise to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. Obasanjo also accused Jonathan of surrounding himself with aides and political associates with corrupt tendencies. READ ALSO: Gbenga Daniel Withdraws From Ogun Senatorial Race He opined that the President has destroyed the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and left Nigeria in dire conditions. Obasanjo also highlighted on the several policy somersaults of Jonathan’s administration as well as the president’s actions that he claimed has stunted the country’s progress. Mr. Obasanjo’s book also took a swipe at Jonathan’s former boss and predecessor, Late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, former Governor James Ibori of Delta State and scion of the Saraki family, Senator Bukola Saraki, and his other political foes. READ ALSO: What OBJ Told PDP Governors It will be recalled that a chieftain of the PDP in Obasanjo’s home-state of Ogun, Prince Buruji Kashamu recently went to court to stop the former president from publishing the autobiography.

Hope OBJ included how he used his position to take advantage of his son's wife and how his family disowned him because of his selfishness. Did he include how he forced contractors to build him his Ota hilltop mansion? Did he include how he forced govs to donate to his library? Did he include how he made himself petroleum minister yet there was no fuel and fuel scarcity persisted? Did he include how he converted govt lands meant for operation feed the nation into Obasanjo farms? Did he tell the world that he used his EFCC to chase political opponents into line? Did he inform the world how he forced Gov Mbadunuju to continue to bribe political godfather? Hope he included how he used minority to impeach Gov Joshua Dariye in Plateau State. Did he state his role in the assassination of Bola Ige, Pa Rewane, and others? Is it in his book that instead of building universities for Nigerians, he built private university for only the children of the rich? What about his longer throat for power to go for third term, is it there? Hope he included how he junketed the world with Nigeria money to source for the best expatriates for his Ota farm 235 Likes 47 Shares |
