Obasanjo’s Book Sells Out, Security Agents Block Importation Of More Copies by Politico: 9:43am On Dec 12, 2014 |
SaharaReporters has learned that copies of the much-anticipated and politically controversial autobiography by former President Olusegun Obasanjo have sold out a mere three days after their release on Tuesday. “Baba [President Obasanjo] sold all the copies that were brought in,” an associate of Mr. Obasanjo’s told SaharaReporters. The three-volume book brims with sharp criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, and former Governors Bola Tinubu, Bukola Saraki and James Ibori. Hours before the book was scheduled to be launched last Tuesday, Buruji Kashamu, an associate of Mr. Jonathan, obtained an order from a High Court judge barring the book’s publication. But Mr. Obasanjo proceeded with the launch of the book, stating that the book was already published before the judge gave his order and that the order did not prohibit him from launching the book. Lawyers to Obasanjo have now appealed the ruling of Justice Valentine Ashi at the court of appeal in Abuja. A source close to Mr. Obasanjo told SaharaReporters that agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) had put stumbling blocks in the way of the former president’s efforts to bring in more copies of the book. “The SSS [an alternative name for the DSS} people have told us that they won’t allow more copies of the book into the country,” one source close to Mr. Obasanjo said. Cover of former President Olusegun Obasanjo's book Asked how Mr. Obasanjo had reacted to the impediments placed in his way, his aide said, “Baba expected such behavior. He is just watching them [the government] laughing. SaharaReporters exclusively reported that the content of the book was unsparing of Mr. Jonathan, whom the former president accused of myopic vision, incompetence and weakness. The former presidential decided to go ahead with the publication of the book despite the fact that Mr. Jonathan made a phone call to persuade him to postpone the publication and that the president sent a strong delegation to plead with Mr. Obasanjo. http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/11/obasanjo’s-book-sells-out-security-agents-block-importation-more-copies 13 Likes 5 Shares |

How is importation blockage a problem? When there are plenty printing press in Mushin and Shomolu. Good news for the pirates. There's currently no book that is more wanted than that book in Nigeria today. Not even "New General Mathematics" being used by most secondary school students. 62 Likes 4 Shares |

Oh really? I expect the ultimate looser in this whole fiasco will be the Publisher as "Omo boys" may pirate the book and sell them at rock bottom prices. Baba (the author) will have taken his money and moved on. 5 Likes 1 Share |

mistabiola: More like a PDP chieftain asking the court to block the book because it contained ''libelous'' information against said PDP chieftain. For once...nothing to do with Goodluck Jona or indeed anyone. 1 Like 1 Share |

The more they keep antagonizing the book, the more it keep selling in a rapid rate. They should just let the book be. The way things are going now i am tempted to buy the book myself and read. 6 Likes |

Why are they making this book become expensive through scarcity means and probably giving pirate to makes more money. Since the books are out, it will circulate. I trust naija.. I want to buy for myself. If baba iyabo image alone makes money and his video and conversation in assembly or off assembly are comedy |

Obasanjo should have limited the publication to electronic copies, since those are not currently within the ambit of our laws. Anyway, he has a history of flouting court injunctions. 1 Like |
