Former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has warned
Nigerians to beware of “a fake document contrived by mischief makers,” which being
circulated as the e-version of the just launched ‘My Transition Hours’, a book written
by Jonathan, online.
In a statement issued on Thursday by his Media
Adviser, Ikechukwu Eze, Jonathan said: “We advise the public to ignore such
publication as the chapters and contents are not the same as the book publicly
presented two days ago in Abuja.
“We note that the e-copy of ‘My Transition Hours’ is
not being marketed, and as such, the fake online version could only have been
created by those out to deceive the unsuspecting public.”
Soft copies of the new book have been shared several times on social media especially Whatsapp.
However, a scan through the book online, which is in Portable Document Format (PDF), shows that the book has been edited with some inaccurate information while some vital information contained in the real book have been expunged.
The virtual copy has 254 pages while the real book is 194 pages.
Some chapters are also missing from the online version which Jonathan’s camp claim is fake.
In a tweet on Thursday, Jonathan said: “We have just been informed that a fake document contrived by mischief makers is being passed on as the e-version and hard copy of the just launched ‘#MyTransitionHours.’
“Also, note that the e-copy of #MyTransitionHours is not being marketed, as such, the fake online version could only have been created by those out to deceive the unsuspecting public.
“We advise the general public to ignore such publication as the chapters and contents are not the same as the book publicly presented two days ago in Abuja. #MyTransitionHours,” Jonathan further tweeted.
