The memoirs of a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke (SAN), will be on sale from Monday (today), the marketer, RovingHeights Ltd, has said.
In a statement on Sunday, the marketer said the memoirs, titled, “Burden of Service: Reminiscences of Nigeria’s former Attorney General,” gave an eyewitness account of how the Federal Government toyed with the idea of prosecuting President Muhammadu Buhari over the deadly post-election riots of 2011.
According to the marketer, the book also “contains startling revelations on the OPL 245/Malabu saga and a detailed eyewitness account of the moments leading to former President Goodluck Jonathan’s concession phone call to President Muhammadu Buhari while the results of the 2015 presidential election were being announced. “He detailed the various suggestions made by former Vice-President Namadi Sambo, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chief Godswill Akpabio, Mr Ita Ekpeyong and Hon. Waripamo Dudafa when the behind-the-scene debate ensued over whether or not Jonathan should concede to Buhari.
The storm over Buhari’s certificate and the attempts to get him disqualified, arrested and prosecuted over the deadly post-election riots of 2011 as well as the execution of three Nigerians convicted for drug trafficking in 1984 when he was military head of state were also discussed in the book by the former minister.”
