Obasanjo in New Book, Says He Planted Moles in His VP’s Camp


In his latest book titled My Watch scheduled to be launched in Lagos this morning, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has chronicled the genesis of the uneasy relationship between him and his former deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as well as how his aides planted moles within Atiku’s camp to monitor him.

Obasanjo, who denied ever seeking Third Term in office, blamed Atiku for what he described as a campaign of calumny against him on the issue after buying up the media.

Revealing details of their private conversations at different times, Obasanjo also traced the ascension to power of President Goodluck Jonathan and the compromise deal that was struck for him (Jonathan) to spend only one term in office.

He said it would be dishonourable for the president to now go back on that promise by contesting the 2015 presidential election.

Obasanjo also accused the Jonathan administration of promoting corruption. He cited several examples to buttress his claim, including what a Chinese told him about how a presidency member of staff demanded a million dollar bribe just to be granted access to the president, a charge which he said he reported to Jonathan without any action taken.

Divided into three volumes and containing 58 chapters and 1,522 pages in all, the tell-all book reads like Obasanjo’s responses to all the people who have dared to criticise him in the past as well as those he believed wronged him politically, most of whom he described in unflattering terms.

In this category are: his anointed successor, the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, whom he called an incompetent ingrate, who was busy reversing his (Obasanjo’s) decisions; Jonathan for whom he also has some harsh words for what he considers his shoddy leadership and inability to honour solemn commitments; and Atiku whose political ambition he said was fuelled by marabouts.

Writing on how Jonathan became vice-president in 2007, Obasanjo confirmed that it was the former Rivers State Governor, Dr. Peter Odili, who was initially shortlisted to be running mate to the late Yar’Adua before he was dropped at the last minute, adding that Odili behaved “childishly” thereafter as if it was a matter of life and death to him.

There are also several salacious details in the book about who was sleeping with whose wife among prominent citizens, the military officer, who would be in the arms of a woman and yet be claiming to be fighting rebels at the war front, etc, while revealing names of those whom he claimed told him unflattering things about other people.

He also did character profiles on some prominent Nigerians, including Prof. Wole Soyinka, Senator Uche Chukwumerije as well as the late Dr. Bala Usman and Chief Gani Fawehinmi.

However, rather curiously, Obasanjo dismissed the letter written by his first daughter, Iyabo, in just one paragraph, claiming that she was hired by the current administration to get at him, while he had no response to the claim by his son, Gbenga, that he (Obasanjo) had an affair with his wife.

He also said he would not respond to any of the damaging allegations by his first wife, Oluremi, in her book even though he admitted some things she wrote were true while others were false.

From Obasanjo’s account, it would seem that his relationship with Atiku began on a sour note:

“By the Constitution, I had to inaugurate or prorogue the National Assembly on June 4, 1999. The most important officer in the National Assembly is the senate president and that office had been zoned to the South-east. And here was where Atiku Abubakar, my vice-president, first showed his hand and his character.

“Without seeking my view or approval, he started planning the installation of Chuba Okadigbo as the senate president. I did a background check on Chuba including his past as a student and made enquiries about him in the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) under (President Shehu) Shagari and no one would recommend him for the post of senate president.

“I left Atiku to go on his chase while I carried out a meticulous and detailed investigation and background check on each senator from the South-east. The one that appeared most appointable was Evan Enwerem. I canvassed the senate across the board for his election and he was elected. Atiku did not expect it and he felt sore.

“He began to strategise for Enwerem to be removed and Chuba Okadigbo to be installed. His strategy worked because I was at Abuja airport to receive a visiting head of state when the news reached me that the Senate had impeached Enwerem and elected Okadigbo. I was not perturbed. I came to understand from some senators including Florence Ita-Giwa, who later became my Special Adviser/ Liaison Officer to the National Assembly, that Atiku distributed US$5,000 each to some senators to carry out the ‘coup’.

“That was the beginning of bribing the legislature to carry out a particular line of action to suit or satisfy the purpose or desire of an individual or a group. The National Assembly had tasted blood and they would continue to want more. From the day I nominated Atiku to be my vice, he set his mind not for any good, benefit or service of the country, but on furiously planning to upstage, supplant or remove me at all cost and to take my place.

“That was what I brought him for, but he was impatient and over-ambitious. He was not ready to learn and to wait. His marabout, who predicted that despite being elected as governor, he would not be sworn in as a governor, which happened, also assured him that he would take over from me in a matter of months rather than years.

“All his plans, appointments of people and his actions were towards the actualisation of his marabout’s prediction. Once I realised his intention and programme, I watched him like a hawk without giving any indication of what I knew and letting down my guard. I could not succumb to the distraction, diversion and malevolence of an ambitious but unwise deputy.

“The work in hand was more important than a confrontational relationship with my deputy, a man over whom I knew I had far more experience and outreach in all matters. To alert him of what I knew he was up to, would only lead to lying, denial, more mischievous plans and more duplicity on his part.

“He was better managed that way. What was important was not allowing myself to be surprised or outmanoeuvred by him. I must always seize the initiative and know what was going on if not in his mind, but at least in his camp. That I did very effectively.

“Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention.

“He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality.

“The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives were in his pocket. He controlled twenty-eight out of thirty-six governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming.

“What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in his purse.

“When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, ‘You have nothing to say to these?’ I said that I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemitola, to play a game of squash with me.

“On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, ‘People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.’ My casual remark struck Chris and he said, ‘Sir, that was a profound statement.’ I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans.

“Atiku was confident and God was laughing. Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP.

“He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for national chairman of the party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the party would be firm and consolidated.

“That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with (Iyorchia) Ayu to Atiku.

“The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it.

“I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realise that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end.

“My assistants had moles within the Atiku group. Anything that they planned would be reported. That was the case after Ogbeh’s letter. They decided that Ogbeh should appear remorseful and come with the National Working Committee to apologise to me. It was not from their hearts, but to lure me to a ‘killing ground’.

“All pieces of information that were reported were verified because it would not come from only one informant.

“Timely information is a very important principle of war and also of politics. In politics, just as in war, what matters is not just your plan, but knowledge of your opponent’s plan. Knowing their plan, I had the choice of playing along with them or being firm, I chose the latter.

“I told Ogbeh that my relationship with him as national chairman and me as national leader of the party was based on mutual confidence and trust. But with his letter, my reply and what I knew of him then, I could no longer work with him in confidence and trust.

“There were only two choices left for both of us in our best interest and that of the party – he, leaves as chairman or I leave as leader of the party.

“The following Sunday, I called at his house, which I had done on several occasions in the past when there was an important party matter to discuss. This time, I asked him to give me an undated letter of resignation as the national chairman.

“I waited, he gave me but it was wrongly addressed to me rather than to the national secretary of the party as stipulated in the party’s constitution.

“Ogbeh reported to his group and it was decided by them to play on and to wait for my disgrace whenever I presented a letter of resignation not addressed to the national secretary.

“The informants did their job and I, once again, paid another visit to Ogbeh at his residence. He entertained me to a meal and drink, and changed the addressee on his letter of resignation.

“It would appear he never reported the change to his group. When I considered it opportune and appropriate, the letter was dated and presented to National Executive Committee of the party, which regrettably accepted the resignation.

“With that, whatever control Atiku claimed to have over the party began to crumble. But he did not think so and went on to boast that if I made my daughter the national chairman, it would be a matter of weeks not months before he would put her in his pocket.

“I therefore had to look for a successor chairman, who would be too big, uncompromising and inflexible to be lured and controlled by Atiku. I found such a man in Senator (Dr.) Amadu Ali, whom I had known many years earlier as a medical doctor in the army…”

I wonder o

Nna ehn

wetin concern agbero with overload

na muzic/radio be dis

so wetin sport or united dey do here

Really suprised that the guy came and there was no publicity

the guy is cool and good, he's got a very nice voice
i wuld ave gone 4 the show if I heard ealier

diyobdw:

well said _{4 Faze}

_faze all the way

Baro:


I suggest we pause this thread, wait for some new works from these guys, then we can be fair and factual once more, not all this thrash.

Till then Faze 4 life

Well said bro

till then maybe we suld talk of the best HIT of 2007
somebody shuld help start the TOPIC, wuld ave done it but kind of BIZZY now
and make we no transfer wetin we neva finish here to that topic O

waitin 4 yu guys
if i no see the topic I go start am miself

The funny thing about those contributing to this thread 2 and faze supporters alike is that they are chauvinists who has allowed prejudice narrow down their sense of reasoning to the extent that their points and submission have been somewhat baseless and sometimes resulted to disparage remarks.

To the best of my understanding, i believe  the only proper way to assess or appraise two artistes in order to ascertain who sings better and has better creativity is by lookining at their works relatively without having any favourite. Once you have a favourite it might affect your judgement.

So I think we should close our eyes to the fact that my artiste is the best and place the two of them on a level play ground, maybe that might enable us make a good and logical assessment.

for example
2face was on a tv program ^{i think BankPHB Intern reality show} and was meant to do somethin or sing, he did somtin quite scrappy that nobody found interestin

obversly faze was to do same on  GloShow and he was so creative maybe all he did was talk. but it made sense.

that is what i call creativity and not the number of laurels you ave.

lets put it like this ManCity is 3rd on the league table while Chelsea is 4th. Does it mean ManCity is a better team  

lets be objective n our criticisms

thank you

jejelolatu:

I was busy watching d arsenal game. Am in a good mood because we beat wigan.

Good to hear that girl
at least we ave some tin in common

GUNNERS 4 LIFE

anyway, the way this thread is goin me I no understand oh

kolomental was an instant hit _{even before it was dropped} though the noise has gone down now ^{(remember the law of diminishin marginal return)}

Yahooze was kind of silent when it came out, i remembered when it was my favourite, som people around me where not just feelin it, then i used to think the song shuld be a hit,but then it was just gatherin momentum. now it is every where

so they are two good songs but with diferent tempo of popularity

okay what about 2face's SEE ME SO it was everywhere then but where is it now

I still maintain that
2face is more successful no doubt
but faze is better ^{my submission}

Thanks Soloreal

Good talk

at least we'll ave some fresh air from this 2face boys 

Warfy Boy:



So wteva 2face has archeived has not covered d truth from being said, yes he's won awards countless times, bt somebody else is stil beta dan him in d game,  Faze  sings beta dan  tuface, awards or no award.

FAZE til air scarce

Yes Sir  

tosinadeda:

I know of mode9 and glo,but faze no and your post is jst an excuse 4 his failure

Faze is not a Glo ambasador like Mode9, but he has a contract with Glo

ohun to ba wu elenu ni ko fi enu e so

faze all d way

mr me too:

@all faze fans

As tosineadeda said D'banj just won the MTV awards and since you guys know the activities of Kennis and their business of buying awards did they buy this 4 D'banj too

Nna ehn ehn
wetin dey do yu pple is D'banj with kennis muzic

and besides awards are not the confirmation of any good artistes, it is yur work
the fact dat faze dint get d award does not mean he is bad.

Faze is da bomb ^{just wait and see}

Seun:

Which branch? You need to mention the branch in question. Every Mr. Biggs outlets is managed differently.

egbon Seun, maybe yu'll have to tell us the one outlet that is different

I stay in owerri and I can tell yu that all the 3 outlets in owerri are the same _{not only fried rice}

i also visit PH and it is the same sad story

so wat are we sayin. cant we manage or wat

that is why that stupid american profesor _{James Watson} could open his dirty, magot infested mouth and say that

_{he is "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really." He claims to hope that everyone is equal, but he counters that "people who have to deal with black employees find this not true.}

imagine that stupid statement

pls let us put our house in order and prove idiots like watson wrong

FactorChic:

You don't have to ask, Faze Independent has my vote!

faze

pheesayor:

with time people's eyes will open to the truth. Just wait and see what faze becomes "Independently"

gbam!

Ododo Oro

@ Big B1

nice response, but dont yu think the man should not take too much time out so that his political relevance will not hampered
at least he shuld just chip in somtin even if it's not 2 relevant so that we wont 4get him\

@PeeDaVinci

are yu LEORNADO DaVINCI?
pls i cant place the _name, so who yu be?

Since the boo haha that followed the April 2007 general elections little ^{in fact virtually nothing} has been heard from the presidential flagbearer of the opposition party ACTION CONGRESS and former Vice President Alh ATIKU ABUBAKAR

Although his compatriot Alh MOHAMADU BUHARI from ANPP has managed to keep his name in the news the same can not be said of ATIKU the invincible.

Does it mean the ex VP's political career has finally been put in the cupboard by his enstranged boss OBJ or the man is working out his strategies and planning a big come back to the political landscape of the nations

Thes are questions waitin for answers

@ mr me too

nobody is hypin any video

we are just reiteratin the fact that the worst video on that compilation ^{if any} is better than 2face's best video

*2face is a star, i like him. He is probably the most popular Nigerian artiste in years. hype or no hype ^{from the big bros} he is already there, Faze will do alot to get the kind of world wide recognition 2face has presently.

but that is not what we are saying. what we are after is who is better

let us be more objective in our criticisms.

this thread is draggin too long, let us face the facts

the mere fact that I  am POPULAR does not mean I am good

remember THE GOLDEN BOY OF AFRICA and MR LECTURER they were very popular, people like yu tot they were the best

but time has exposed them,

STARDOM is very hard to maintain expecially when you don't worth it

everythin is a matter of time

Faze or 2face  _{i go with faze}

was goin tru 4thegame.com and saw that FM 08 is out

will realy like to get it

so i will apreciate it if anyone could give me the needed info

thanks

faze

@concrete

wat is the yardstick for comparing the two muzical videos

Faze's video is less than two months and it has gathered more momentum than what 2face video gathered in ?^{who cares}


and besides who knows the last time that particular site yu refered us to was updated, because the so called 2face muzical video is the one with african queen ^imagine

pal check the videos yurself objectively and say wat yu think

2face is successful _{yes more than faze}

but faze is better ^simple
that is my arguement

dont see me as unpatriotic o

but I dont think we stand any chance

these guys are not goin to play as a team

so i wont be surprised if we dont win

i am just prayin for a draw

sect:

you guys should please compare the lyrics,maturity and concept of both albums and you will no what am talking about and i forgot to include my love in the list,that song makes no iota of sense,it is a total crap , 2face fans, your guy is good but u have to admit that ^INDEPENDENT has a better definition of music than _{grass to grace.}

lol

mr me too:


In fact this incident is going to provide inspiration for new material and yeah he was working on a song in the car with faze's brother. What doesn't kill you can only make stronger.

maybe gbosa gbosa gun shot ina di air

@benlay

wats the fuzz about thi song anyway

the song though a very nice song, is kinda old

was actually obsessed with it when it came out, but not anymore

the guy is cool to me, and i think the video is tite especially the part where he danced YAHOOZE

Sean Kingston is kool and his lyrics are tite

my broda yu cant use money to get beauty

FAZE is okay in his own way

the long neck i dont know

the beards just his style , sometin to identify him wit like Zakky_flashlite, Shokey_dada, 2face_{ghana t.shirt}

FAZE is HANDSOME in his own way

at least more handsome than YOU

please chelsea fans cast yur mind back to life b4 MOurinho

yu guys were nothing infact yu had no silverware until the magic man came and got 6 for yu in 3 years INCREDIBLE

and now that the Magicman has gone .it is SAD

but GOOD news to those of yu who were GUNNERS and deserted us during our tryin period, we are goin to be like the prodigal son's father we will welcome yu back into our fold.


the fold is big and we are hospitable as ever

GUNNERS FOR LIFE _{it is good to have a professor as a coach} WENGER _{he sees into the future}

tosinadeda:



so the long neck,rough face and beards,chubby"less" cheeks were all as a result of make up abi?

no be by face

na the message wey dey the song matter

and please is this about being FINE, it is about good muzic and yu will agree with me that those videos are tite and shows the image of a patriotic NIGERIAN that knows where he started from and where he is going.

not the GHANIA_NIGERIAN that has the only focus of breakin GUINESS WORLD RECORD of the Father of CHILDREN from most WOMEN _{are yu counting or yu ave lost count}

Faze we like him like that

faze

mr me too:

@Tayotere

faze's recording label should have put those videos there. You guys would now start blaming Kennis for doing their job later. This is 2007 please faze fans tell your boi and his people to get with the prgram, youtube is an important marketing tool in this day and age. The best thing, its free!!! Please tell those people to go to a business school and learn how to market their artist properly.

maybe yu shuld confirm before postin, the guy has some of his song there


and talkin about this age  maybe yu 2**** addicts should do somethin about that yur guys website, that THING doesnt befit an artiste of his calibre

check the site and compare it wit FAZE's webpage, 2**** page sucks
yur page sellss yu more than YOUTUBE

if he needs someting that suits this age and time he shuld get in touch with FAZE, i am very sure he will be of great assistance

remember IF YOU NO SEND ME, ME I SEND YU


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLQB6Wc1pds


check that to confirm yur doubts

_{we aint arguin my broda, we are just intellectuals rubbin minds 2geda}

Please don't let us forget how this thread started, we are discussin who is better and not who is more successful.


it is not a gainsaying and the fact can not be  hiddin, 2Face is more successful than FAZE he has enjoyed tremendous success and it is only going to take a hardworkin and resilient FAZE to overhaul him. 2face success train took off even before he left Plantashun boiz and the pace skyrocketed when he finally left he was in the stars when FAZE's pace was very slow but now the table is turning and FAZE has gathered momentum but 2face can not really maintain the standard that got him to where he is.

2face is more successful now but FAZE is better

(remember JOE he is good, very good but how many awards does he have)

Being good is not about winning awards

(Craig Davids best album was Born To Do It, but the album despite having so many nominations was only able to win 3 mobo(UK categories) and 1 MTV europe)

2face get the MONEY no doubt

but all things been equal CETERIS PARIBUS

FAZE WILL OUTSHINE HIM

no be by award _{mr me too and co}

may Almighty God see us tru

Ogadinma it shall be well
