Nigerian former President
Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday faulted the book written by Chairman
ThisDay Board of Editors, Olusegun Adeniyi, ‘Against the Run of Play,’
saying the book is filled with so many distortions.Adeniyi, in his book revealed so many behind the scene dramas that took place during the 2015 Presidential.
The

President blamed ex-United States, US, President, Barack Obama for his
loss to President Muhammadu Buhari.

Jonathan, however, said he will soon be coming out on what actually transpired during the election.
The
tweet reads, “I have just read Segun Adeniyi’s new book, ‘Against the
Run of Play’ which has so far enjoyed tremendous reviews in the media.
“My
take on it is that the book as presented contains many distorted claims
on the 2015 Presidential election by many of the respondents
“There will obviously be more books like that on this subject by concerned Nigerians.
“However,
I believe that at the right time, the main characters in the elections,
including myself will come out with a true account of what transpired
either in major interviews or books.”
