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.
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.”
