EXCERPTS

"President Obama and his officials made it clear to me by their actions that they wanted a change of government in Nigeria. They even brought some naval ships into the Gulf of Guinea in the days preceding the election"
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Disappointed With JEGA
“I was disappointed by Jega because I still cannot understand what was propelling him to act the way he did in the weeks preceding the election. As at the first week in February 2015 when about 40 percent of Nigerians had not collected their PVCs, Jega said INEC was ready to go ahead with the election. How could INEC have been ready to conduct an election in which millions of people will be disenfranchised?”

“Not only did he agree to the idea of a one-on-one meeting, President Jonathan actually held me be by the hand as he led me into his office. But the moment we entered, all the others at the meeting also followed. At that point, I saw a leader who was helpless”
Patience Versus Amaechi
“Dame Patience snatched the microphone from him and shouted “Listen, you must listen to me!””
