Ghen Ghen! Goodluck Jonathan Finally Reacts to Segun Adeniyi’s Book, ‘Against The Run Of Play’…See Details

Nigeria’s immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to a new book written about events that occurred
during the last presidential election.

Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has reacted to the much talked about ‘Against the Run of Play’ written by Segun Adeniyi, Chairman of the editorial board of
ThisDay newspapers.

Airing his opinion on the content of the book, Goodluck Jonathan said “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”

The author had revealed that the idea for the book germinated when he decided to research into why it is difficult for incumbent presidents to lose elections in
Africa.

He had also stated that events that culminated in the defeat of President Jonathan, made it clear to him that while a credible opposition platform that the All
Progressives Congress (APC) represented helped, it was not the main reason why the election went the way it did.

So, he decided to interrogate the factors that led to that unprecedented electoral
outcome in the country.
