Zainab Duke-Abiola, wife of late Moshood Abiola, says the book written by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan is a “monumental manipulation of historical facts and figures”.

Jonathan on Tuesday launched his book, ‘My Transition Hours’, to mark his 61st birthday.

Ex-presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and John Mahama of Ghana were among those dignitaries who graced the event.

In a statement on Thursday, Duke-Abiola described the book as “a pseudologia fantastica”.

She said the claim by Jonathan that former US President Barack Obama and ex-UK Prime Minister David Cameron interfered with the country’s 2015 is “ludicrous”.

“The book is a monumental manipulation of historical facts and figures,” Duke-Abiola said.

“Though President Jonathan conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari after he lost the elections, he remained fixated on the presidency and did not want to believe that Nigerian voters swept him out of power because of his gross incompetence and ineptitude.

“For the records, Jonathan lost the election because he made himself the sole candidate of the PDP despite his abysmal failure in governance. He directed the party to print only one presidential nomination Form 001, which I paid for, but because of his blind ambition, he confiscated my presidential nomination Form 001 and went into the political battlefield in borrowed robes, thereby meeting his political Waterloo accordingly.”

She said the ex-president plunged the country into an avoidable security and humanitarian crisis.

“I think the only option left for Jonathan is to plead with God and Nigerians for forgiveness and until we forgive him, he should remain in his purgatory of lethargy. No amount of write-up can erase the fact that he took this great nation for granted,” Duke-Abiola said.

“The indeprecabilis question for Jonathan to answer is What did he do with the power Nigerians entrusted him with? Did he ameliorate the sufferings of Nigerians or even the marginalized Niger Deltans? Did he even put drinking water in his own village? Are Jonathan’s village mansions accessible by road? Why does he charter helicopters to travel to his own village?

“Jonathan said corruption is not stealing and thereafter flagged off the looting spree of the treasury, which ultimately plunged Nigeria into recession when he left. Jonathan will go down in history as Nigeria’s worst political mistake."

Hmn!

Jonathan will put himself into trouble with this book

Madam what do you have to say about the death of your husband.

Jonathan wrote a Book of Blames and Self Righteousness

Shm.

Jonathan. .... wrote the book at the wrong time....

This is just "notice me"...

Salient truth... Only the blind will not see the truth in what she said...
Jonathan planted too many mines leading to the general elections. He needed the power so badly.
Jonathan was too ambitious coupled with the excesses of his wife yet, he claimed his ambition was not worth the blood of anyone.

I think this government deserves the hallowed title of Nigeria's worst political mistake. GEJ was bad but PMB is a disaster of monumental proportion!

Hehe..see her own version. For her mind, she can defeat GEJ in PDP presidential Primaries at that time? She is looking for cheap fame. She is not amongst the top three popular wives of Abiola self

The book is currently causing more damage on already battered PDP's image

The timing is wrong

Screw APC and to hell with Buhari/Jibrin of Sudan... But the previous government was nothing but 'Lootocracy'. And to think that deranged sycophant Doyin Okupe described that hat man from Otuoke as Jesus Christ... Please, was Jesus clueless or a 'Lootocrat'?!

Tetehjewels:
Good luck Jonathan was wrongly advised about writing and publishing this book.

Even the timing of the launch was totally wrong.

He should have let sleeping dogs lie. Now he has used his own book to campaign against his party as he exposes how much of a monumental failure PDP truly is just a couple of months to the elections.

That is the height of stupidity

He is always on the wrong side of the clock. You just said the plain truth. This book will de-market the PDP.

The foolish Retardeen thinks the rest of Nigerians are retardss like his supporters.

He can keep the useless book of Elementary school Fiction to himself, his garrulous wife and his gullible fanatical followers.

Suupu!
Madam Suupu!
Nkea by eziokwu nke ukwu....gwaba anti, ma gwaba ha madam

I foresee pdp e-thugs lampooning the Otuoke Dullard alleging he works for APC and is trying to divert their attention from the reviews the useless book is getting so far, even from his own former ministers.

crossfm:
Madam what do you have to say about the death of your husband.

The thread is about Jogogoro. If you have nothing to say in that regard, gtfo!

IrokoOluwere:
Jonathan is a bastard

Bros, you dey vex o!

wetin this one know...USA,UK have been interfering in elections and they will continue to do so..f you dont know anything about international politics..shut up

he just wants to be controversial and then make more sales

netpro:
Jonathan wrote a Book of Blames and Self Righteousness

Shm.

have you read the original copy of the book not the one your village people wrote o

What do you expect? Since they have been offered juice from this incompetent regime, they must answer the calls to defend the regime.

I am not fan of Jonathan, but the handwriting was clearly written on the wall about the foreign powers involved in the election and only dummies will disagree

"is the road to his town motorable and do they have drinking water" . Jonathan was sent to destroy PDP , he fought obasanjo that helped him victimise his boss alams with EFCC and made him Governor and then VP subsequently president with the agreement to run for one term and not jettison zoning arrangement so that power can quickly return back to south and PDP can enjoy their unlimited power. But hell No, Jonathan started fighting everyone, the governor's forum, Locking Up NASS and Rivers govt house and teargassing senators, complete marginalisation of Yoruba in goverment, State of emergency in North and curfew without funding or diversion of army fund which lead to death of over 12000 civilian and bombing of abuja many times including the UN office


Just when PDP thought they were going to have slim chance at returning to aso rock, Jonathan decided to remind people of the past PDP desperately need us to forget, 90 days to election

Now the Abiolas that he couldn't honor over June 12 even when advised to are out to reply his book, Arewa Consultative forum are also out from their calmness to reply PDP and Jonathan, shetima of borno isn't left out

Jonathan is a bastard

What role did she play when Abiola was imprisoned?

“The book is a monumental manipulation of historical facts and figures,” Duke-Abiola said.

“Though President Jonathan conceded defeat to President Muhammadu Buhari after he lost the elections, he remained fixated on the presidency and did not want to believe that Nigerian voters swept him out of power because of his gross incompetence and ineptitude.

“For the records, Jonathan lost the election because he made himself the sole candidate of the PDP despite his abysmal failure in governance. He directed the party to print only one presidential nomination Form 001, which I paid for, but because of his blind ambition, he confiscated my presidential nomination Form 001 and went into the political battlefield in borrowed robes, thereby meeting his political Waterloo accordingly.”





Kukuma kill GEJ

This is too much

With the content of this book, as released so far, GEJ is eroding the goodwill he enjoyed so far.
