SEE Obasanjo's Explosive Book that some people want to Kill

An attempt by Buruji Kashamu and those he is working for to stop the publication of a three-volume book by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, appears to have failed as Sahara Reporters has leaked some critical parts of the book, saying that it has gone into circulation.

A source close to Obasanjo confirmed to SR late last night that copies of the former president’s exhaustive autobiography were already available to buyers in print form. The source said that the book would soon be available in an electronic version that is beyond the jurisdiction of Nigerian courts.

The book, whose three volumes chronicle the life of the controversial former president from birth till this year, aroused political interest after SR exclusively reported that Obasanjo devotes significant pages to paint an unflattering portrait of President Goodluck Jonathan...



According to SR, they have already obtained and read sections of the book scheduled for formal launch in Nigeria in a matter of days.

 
It was reported that the book characterizes Jonathan as selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable of rising to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria. Obasanjo also accuses the president of surrounding himself with aides and political associates with corrupt tendencies.

Obasanjo’s book dedicates several parts in the book to point out some of Jonathan’s actions and inactions he considers ill-advised or disastrous for Nigeria. He depicts 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 Jonathan as well as deliberate actions by the incumbent president that have imperiled Nigeria’s progress in the opinion of Obasanjo.

An Abuja-based lawyer and critic of Obasanjo accused the former president of seeking to use the book to earn cheap popularity, adding that 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 single-handedly put him and the late President Umaru Yar’Adua in office,” the lawyer said.

Obasanjo’s book also castigates former President Umaru Yar’Adua, former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, and former Governor James Ibori of Delta State, among other political foes.

In the book, the former president also cleared the air that he was never interested in pursuing a third term while in office.

I hear the book is filled with explosives... watch out!
