Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has insinuated that Patience Jonathan, wife of the president, Deziani Alison-Madueke, Petroleum Minister, Stella Oduah, former Aviation Minister and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Finance Minister are all ‘Presidents’ of Nigeria, noting that Goodluck Jonathan comes behind the quartet and is the weakest of them all.
Extracts from the three-volume autobiography of Obasanjo, titled, “My Watch” revealed how critical he is of Jonathan’s administration. “Five presidents in Nigeria, these were his wife, Deziani, Oduah, Ngozi, Goodluck Jonathan and that he was the weakest of the five,” Obasanjo said in ‘My Watch’.
Obasanjo also said Jonathan is incapable of governing well because he his selfish, weak-willed, callous and incapable of rising to the challenges of running a complex country like Nigeria.
According to SaharaReporters, an attempt by Buruji Kashamu, a senatorial aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun state and a close associate of President Goodluck Jonathan, to stop the publication of a three-volume book by Obasanjo, appears to have failed as the book is set to go into circulation in the coming days.
A source close to Obasanjo has confirmed that copies of the former president’s exhaustive autobiography were already available to buyers in print and electronic form.

Obasanjo is a big fool, an irresponsible man that tried to molest his daughter inlaw. He is against President Goodluck because he refused to be used by him. Obasanjo want to continue to rule Nigeria from his Otta farm, very bad man Even his daughter blasted him, and called him names few months back

Obasanjo is a disgrace. I used to respect him but based on his recent activities I have seen he is not a leader after-all. My point is this: an elder state man is supposed to be careful with his utterances but the reverse is the case with this shameless man that had affairs with his daughter in law. He had the opportunity both as a military head of state and a civilian president to be there twice, what impart did he make? Is he now a social critic or what? It is an insult for him not to recognize GEJ as a Nigerian president.

I am not a fan of Obasanjo or any Nigerian politician and will never be. Mr. Obasanjo …..you also have to share in the blame. ….you made it possible for Mr. Jonathan to become the president. It was a good strategy to appease the south-south insurgents. He (Obasanjo) may be telling the truth.
Attempting to stop the release or circulation of this book led by Mr. Buruji Kashamu a wanted drug-dealer in U.S.A says a lot. This attempt if anything is promoting the book with less effort from Obasanjo. Mr. Kashamu should go to America ....if he is a real man and deal with his criminal charges.
As far as I am concerned all Nigerian politicians and associates are criminals they should all be in jail.
