My Transition Hours’: Jonathan Makes Touching Revelations on  May 29, 2015

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has recalled his very final moments as the number one citizen of Nigeria.

Jonathan recalled how he ended up at the Eagle Square as a common citizen after handing over to his successor, Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2015.

Jonathan made the revelations in his new book, ‘My Transition Hours.’

The book was launched at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, on Tuesday to mark his birthday.

The former President also explained why his wife, Dame Patience Jonathan, was not with him at the Eagles Square during the ceremonial handing over.

The former President reveals: “The morning of Friday May 29, 2015 began very early. It was the D-Day for the inauguration of the President billed to commence at 10.00 AM.

“The event expected to be witnessed by no less than 20 world leaders, was being held at the Eagle Square, Abuja. The day was certainly going to be interesting and I felt ready for whatever emotion came my way."
