<\/p>\nJonathan on Tuesday, launched his book \u2018My Transition Hours\u2019, to mark his 61st birthday.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Thursday, Duke-Abiola described the book as \u201ca pseudologia fantastica\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said the claim by Jonathan that former US President Barack Obama and ex-UK Prime Minister David Cameron interfered with the country\u2019s 2015 is \u201cludicrous\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe book is a monumental manipulation of historical facts and figures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThough 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor 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,\u201d Duke-Abiola said.<\/p>\n
She said the ex-president plunged the country into an avoidable security and humanitarian crisis.<\/p>\n
\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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\u2019s village mansions accessible by road? Why does he charter helicopters to travel to his own village?<\/p>\n
\u201cJonathan 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\u2019s worst political mistake,\u201d Duke-Abiola added.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
