Former President Goodluck Jonathan has praised an Amazon bestseller written by Reno Omokri about his presidency.
Omokri, a former aide of Jonathan, captured important events in the last administration in ‘Facts versus fiction: The true story of the Jonathan years, Chibok, 2015 and the conspiracies’.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Jonathan said the book has emerged a bestseller on the global platform because “Nigerians are hungry for the truth”.
“In a mere 24 hours, a book on my administration, Facts Versus Fiction: The True Story of the Jonathan Years, Chibok, 2015 and the Conspiracies, became a worldwide #9 bestseller and the #1 trending topic in Lagos, Abuja and the entire nation of Nigeria,” he wrote.

The facts about the last administration have been emerging in bits which mostly the current administration find it so easy to wave it aside with a slogan of fight against corruption. But with the chronicle of facts and the fiction by Reno, it would be very difficult to disputes facts with any form of slogan. This is good and healthy for our system and for the future generations.
Your comment..Starting from 2010 to 2015, President Goodluck Jonathan did very well. Every body are tired in this buhari administration, peoples are dying because of hunger. APDA will take over power from APC in 2019 Presidential election.
Was it Jonathan that wrote on that Facebook page OR Reno?
Your comment..Please, let me know how to get this book in Nigeria. Thanks.
