The sour relationship between former President Olusegun Obasanjo and President Goodluck Jonathan appears to have deteriorated at the weekend as an Abuja court has stopped a book written by Obasanjo and scheduled to be launched this week. The book has three volumes with the third volume dedicated to happenings in government after Obasanjo left government in 2007.
The third part is believed to have highly uncomplimentary details of the incompetence of President Jonathan in handling several national issues. The book also had details of an attempt made by Obasanjo to help Jonathan resolve some national issues that have now ballooned into a major catastrophe for the country.
One Mr. Kashamu Buruji, who is believed to be fronting for the President, got a court injunction from an Abuja federal high court judge, stopping Obasanjo from publishing or circulating the book.
According to court documents, Alex Izinyon (SAN) filed a lawsuit (FCT/HC/M/2392/2014) on behalf of Kasahmu last week seeking an injunction restraining Obasanjo from publishing or circulating his autobiography.
The court judge, Valentine Ashi, granted an order on Friday to Kashamu barring Obasanjo from publishing or circulating the book until the substantive case is resolved before the court. The case is adjourned to December 10. [myad]
