Yar' Adua, Jonathan, Atiku And Ibori To Feature Heavily On Obasanjo's Autobiography

In a recent bare all interview, a close friend of
former President Olusegun has said that the
former president's autobiography will cause a
political earthquake in the nation.
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.
The three-volume autobiography is scheduled to be
released by the middle of December.
The source was speaking to Sahara Reporters and
said that he is among the very few circle of people
privileged to have looked at the autobiography,
saying that Obasanjo attacks President Goodluck
Jonathan, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the
late President Umaru Yar'Adua, and former Governor
James Onanefe Ibori of Delta, among others.
The source said: "Chief Obasanjo shows how
President Goodluck Jonathan has failed in economic
policies and in the fight against Boko Haram."
He added: "Instead of trying to move Nigeria
forward, the president has allowed his personal and
sectional agenda to pull Nigeria back." "Wait until
Baba's [Mr. Obasanjo's] book comes out. He exposes
the yansh [behind] of Goodluck Jonathan. He shows
that Jonathan is confused, that his wife is the person
ruling Nigeria, and that the president is paranoid
most of the time."
He says that Obasanjo is dissapointed with the way
Jonathan only listens to a few Ijaw people and a
small circle of court jesters who tell him that his
critics nurse personal animosity against him.
The source went on: "Was he elected to rule only
Ijaw people?" our source asked. He then added:
"Can you believe that the president [Jonathan] once
told Baba [Mr. Obasanjo] that he has no time for
Boko Haram attacks because Boko Haram are his
enemies who are killing themselves?"
He also said that Jonathan has allowed Nigeria's
economy to rot by allowing only close associates to
engage in unfettered stealing of the country's
foreign reserves.
The source also says that Mr Yar'Adua was not
grateful despite being installed in power by the
former military man.
Obasanjo also said that both Yar'Adua and Jonathan
betrayed him and the book accuses the late Mr.
Yar'Adua of colluding with former Governor Ibori to
implicate Mr. Obasanjo in serious crimes.
"Instead of continuing where Chief Obasanjo
stopped to improve the power sector, Nigeria's
railway system and so on, President Yar'Adua
wasted his time instituting probes into what Baba
did during his tenure," said the source.
The source also said that the President used his
daughter, former Senator Iyabo Obasanjo
to denigrate him in a public letter released in
December 2013.
According to the source, "President Jonathan
thought that he could destroy Baba by recruiting his
daughter to attack him, but Baba showed that he is
above them."
In the letter, Iyabo accused her father and described
him as a liar manipulator, [and] two-faced
hypocrite."
