My Watch: 11 Shocking Things From Obj’s New Book by Nobody: 3:18am On Dec 08, 2014 |
London (NDR) - It is no longer news that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is going to release his autobiography titled "My Watch", on the 12th of December, 2014 - a book published by Farafina. What is news is the political tsunami the content of this book might cause in the already charged political atmosphere of Nigeria and beyond. Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan are not having the best of time and this book may deteriorate the already frosty relationship between the two. Recall that Obasanjo had late last year wrote a letter to Jonathan in which he responded with a reply. In his new book, Obasanjo took a swipe on Jonathan, Patience Jonathan, Atiku Abubakar, Umaru Musa Yara Adua and Tony Anenih amongst others. In a rare privilege, NewsDay Reporters was allowed to go through this book before its eventual release next week and below are the Eleven (11) shocking things from the book: 1. Obasanjo called Jonathan a failed leader, citing his "failed" economic policies and Boko Haram as examples. 2. He accused Jonathan of listening to few Ijaw people as if he's the president of Ijaw - thereby pursuing sectional agenda that is capable of destroying Nigeria. 3. He says that Jonathan is confused, paranoid to an extent that the person ruling Nigeria is his wife, Patience Jonathan. 4. He said that Jonathan is finished for depending on Tony Anenih - a man he (Obasanjo) knows too well. 5. He accused Jonathan of being the one that recruited his daughter, Senator Iyabo Obasanjo to denigrate and embarrass him in a public letter where she described him as “a liar, manipulator and two-faced hypocrite.” 6. He mentioned how late President Umaru Musa Yar Adua and Goodluck Jonathan allowed their close associates to wreck havoc on the Nigeria's economy by looting the country's foreign reserve. 7. He called Yar Adua and Jonathan ingrates as they refused to respect the fact that he installed them in power. 8. He feels betrayed that Yar Adua colluded with former Governor of Delta State, James Ibori to implicate him in serious crimes. 9. He accused Yar Adua of abandoning his policies in power sector, railway etc., instead he (Yar Adua) was wasting time probing his tenure. 10. On Atiku, he said he will never support Alhaji Atiku to rule this country because of his widespread acts of corruption which covered various sectors of the economy. 11. He concludes that even if he reconciles with Jonathan, that he will do everything possible to make sure that he (Jonathan) does not return to power in 2015. www.newsdayreporters.com/what-s-hot/565-my-watch-11-shocking-things-from-obasanjo-s-new-book-newsday-reporters.html 1 Like |

Baba Obasanjo seems to have made up his mind never to forgive Jonathan for whatever reasons. Now I see why the court decided to ban the release of the book even without any legal representations from Obasanjos lawyers. End shall never wonder!! 1 Like |

GEJ is not good. What OBJ is saying about him are undeniable. Let's keep sentiments aside. Even GEJ know that he has performed poorly. For those that understands economic our country is in disarray. If GEJ continue for another four years I fear what will become of this country. HAVE YOU ASKED WHY HE SENT GOVERNORS TO BEG OBJ? 15 Likes 3 Shares |

Jonathan is a betrayal. He promised to stay in government for only one tenure. What do you expect. A man whose words holds no truth? That is why we do not have the public buses he promised us during the subsidy issue. 1 Like |

Orji Uzor Kalu told the whole world that Obasanjo worth 2k when he was released from jos prison. Today Obasanjo has a presidential library, Bell university, Otta farm, farm settlements and properties everywhere in Nigeria. His book should explain his role in Harliburtons scandal, adultery with his son's wife. Odi and Zaki Biam massacre , political assassinations that took place during his tenure and should also include the worst election he conducted in 2007. He should not fail to tell us about aborted third term issue. Until that is done he remain an impostor 9 Likes 1 Share |

Well,i dont blame OBJ,in a sane society,he should be spending time behind bars.....for all the human right abuses during his tenure,genocide against Odi,Katsina Ala etc,his gross looting of our common wealth,the killing of Bola Ige,Chuba Okadigbo and other crimes too numerous to mention. |

hazyfm:My brother, de thing tire me o. Instead of telling the world his achievements as president, he is busy quarrelling with everybody like a pregnant woman. How am I sure this Obj is not having a mental problem? A man who lured his sons wife into bed and kerewa-ed the poor woman. No wonder his family has disowned him. OBJ should show us his achievements and stop disturbing already impoverished citizens with books! 2 Likes |

jamace:Am sorry to say this, you must be below 17years if not you will not start asking of OBJ's achievements. => If you have a Civil Servent in you family go and ask them what OBJ did for them in his first tenure (I called That Gbemu Aremu). With Gbemu Aremu a Primary School Teacher in Public school could buy a car. => I will Not forget the One Year PAP even though am less that 13 years then i still remember => What of Dept Clearance, Foreign Reserve => The Power you all talks about OBJ left more that 4000MW, today Nigeria still struggle to Top that => The GEJ you all support, who knows him Nationally, if he has not achived anything at all bringing GEJ all the way from Bayelsa is not a day JOB Not that i support Mediocracy of the Past Leaders but GEJ, UMY, GEJ (∑ = PDP)perform below Nigeria Expectation, That is why we have to Divorce PDP he she repents, we can forgive their sice 5 Likes |
