What’s a court order to Former President Olusegun Obasanjo? Despite legal action taken to bar the launching of his autobiography – My Watch – the 76-year-old launched it in Lagos today to much fanfare. Photos and more after the click.
There’s been plenty of controversy surrounding the launching of Nigeria’s Former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s, autobiography. According to SaharaReporters:
President Goodluck Jonathan had personally contacted the former president in an attempt to postpone the book’s release until after the coming presidential election. Excerpts from the book have generated much attention, as they have seriously criticized President Jonathan and the weaknesses in his administration.
Clearly Former Pres was not worried about GJ. In true older folks fashion, he did what he wanted and launched the book to much fanfare, at the Lagos Country Club in Ikeja. Dignitaries in attendance included Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos, Ibidapo Obe, former minister of Education and VP of the World Bank, Oby Ezekwesili others.
