A book that gives definitive account of the Goodluck Jonathan presidency titled ‘On a Platter of Gold’ will be presented in November 2017.

The book, written by Bolaji Abdullahi, the National Publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a minister in then Jonathan cabinet, gives detailed and largely exclusive account of the making and unmaking of the Jonathan presidency.

A statement issued yesterday in Abuja said the book is part history, part political thriller, which answers many of the often-asked questions about Jonathan’s incredible rise to the highest political office in the land and his unprecedented electoral defeat in 2015. The statement said the writer, as a former columnist and editor with Thisday newspaper, brought his perceptive power as a skillful analyst to bear, producing a great work of free-flowing prose.

The book is slated for presentation in November in Abuja at an event that promises to be one of the largest gathering of politicians and political actors in 2017.

Asked why he wrote the book, Abdullahi said, “I believe that journalists who find themselves in government owe it as a duty to the profession to tell a good story afterwards.”
