Former senate president has revealed that Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan lost the support of key members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who either went to the opposition or discreetly worked against his re-election because his wife was suspicious of those around him.

In an advance copy of ‘Against the Run of Play’, a book written by Segun Adeniyi, Mark further stated that Jonathan and his wife turned Aminu Tambuwal, former speaker of the house of representatives, into a political foe.

Jonathan’s relationship with Tambuwal was frosty because he had emerged as a speaker against Patience’ design.

Tambuwal, as speaker, eventually defected from the PDP to the then opposition – the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mark said he tried to defrost the relationship, but Tambuwal was still looked upon with suspicion.

“I took him (Tambuwal) and Emeka (Ihedioha) to the president for a meeting where they gave assurances that they would cooperate and work with the government. But there was always a concern from the Jonathan camp that Tambuwal was an ambitious politician,” he said.

The former senate president also said that the former first lady had fears that he was nursing a presidential ambition as well.

“I guess she (Patience) had the same fear about me even when she never said it to my face. She once accosted Senator Joy Emordi to say, ‘Joy, I hear you are the manager of David Mark Presidential Campaign Organisation’, which was a baseless accusation.

“I had to meet the president to clarify issues with him. So, I would say it was President Jonathan and his wife who radicalized Tambuwal and turned him into a political foe.”

The book will be launched on Friday, and Abdulsalami Abubakar, former head of state, is expected to chair the event.

Another Jonathan's thread?

Lovely.

David Mark is wrong.

Goodluck Jonathan lost the election because he,and those he surrounded himself with,and that included his wife were all looting Nigeria without any care that Nigerians had to do something about it.

David Mark too was among the inner circle of those thieves,and i hope he gets his day in Court here or in Heaven.

PEJ was too strong for GEJ to control and it cost him d 2015 election. PEJ was never a politician and she suddenly wielded so much power then even with her grammatical blunders

This topic has been thrashed and beaten over and over again.

Jonathan lost the election and it's 2 years already.

Right now, Nigerians are more interested in getting the benefits of governance from the current administration.

How will she not when she was blowing heaven knows grammar here and there, doing as if she was the president and Jonathan the vice

They should just launch the book. I'm tired of all these old men gossip. All these are preparation for 2019. It's stupi.d for Jonathan to even muster the thought of trying the presidency again. More so trying his victim game again.

GEJ can't control his wife which is unfortunate but he failed election due to his clueless.

Whenever the focus is on the clueless hero the supporters becomes uncomfortable.

Hehehe!!!

Jonathan the cursed, I can't recover from the excitement of his removal from power and his current humiliating exposures.

Buhari should send to jail asap!

You fall into the category of people I don't engage, so below is your response:

There is a reason i don't engage you here. You talk cheap, act juvenile, sound bigoted and your level of reasoning is always at lowest ebb on a reasoning scale.

You will be ignored subsequently so you can pour your spittle all over my mention

Using another person's intellectual as personal is an acute sign of cluelessness, an infection resulting from too much support for the ineffectual buffoon.

Need a cure? Be my guest.

Still about Jonathan again.

This guy is a legend

Even Anini is a legend to some.

I am only interested to know why David Mark has become a bench warmer in the Senate.

Jonathan is a forgotten issue. Nigeria must move forward.

Mouth like running water


She literally Biatched him to loosing

When will Buhari fulfill his campaign promises starting with making a dollar equal to a naira

:-)A book has just been written chronicling the events that led to Jonathan's loss at the 2015 Presidential polls. What you have been reading these past few days are excerpts from the book. I think it is just an attempt by the author to give the book the much needed publicity.

As regards the thread, Patience wielded more power than she ought to. She, in her bid to ensure her husband was re-elected, made more enemies for him.

Ah I see, no wonder, thanks for clarifying that. No one is interested in his loss, he should move on.
Madam PEJ was uncontrollable, she played a role in ruining her husband's government. They should lick their wounds in peace, we are not interested in stories.

Right now, the focus is on getting this current govt to perform by all means necessary.

I agree with David-mark that Jonathan's wife contributed to his down fall,but dats nt to say tambuwal is innocent of d allegation dat was levied against him.even in apc he's still aggrandising dat very trait with a view to 2019 presidential election.

Conclusively i must admit dat one has got to b wary of who one dates/marry.

All this old clowns, keep talking about 2015 election. For God's sake the election is long gone............but is obvious this clowns dont seem to recognise a new sherrif is in town

Go & stop them from launching the book.


Igbos are daft

Useless set of people.......

Spectator Mark also had a say on this.

...two years after election has come and gone, when are going to forget this and face the recession?

PDP will bounce back
