Reviewing the book, principal partner at Nextier Advisory, Patrick Okigbo, stated that the book gives “one side of the story and that side is vicious enough that it should prompt a response from many quarters.” According to him, Obasanjo did not fail to name and shame those he considered to have worked against the progress of Nigeria. “Some personalities who have presented themselves as leaders and reformists will have to present counter evidence to defend their reputation,” he said. Presidency keeps mum But all efforts to get the presidency to react to Obasanjo’s damning verdict against the president did not yield any fruit by press time. A text message sent to the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, was not replied, even as another presidential aide, Dr Doyin Okupe, was not forthcoming with any response. Media aide to the senior special assistant to the president, Mr. Bamidele Salam, simply told LEADERSHIP on telephone that Okupe was very busy with preparations for the PDP primaries to react to Obasanjo claims for now.
