Former President Goodluck Jonathan has recounted how northern Muslim power blocs opposed the transfer of power to him following the death of his late principal, ex-President Umaru Yar’Adua, in 2010.
Jonathan made the disclosure in an interview with the Rainbow Book Club, which trended on Saturday, as he reflected on Nigeria’s electoral and political history documented in his memoir, My Transition Hours.
Yar’Adua was sworn in as President in 2007 but died on May 5, 2010, after an illness.
