Jonathan spoke during the official launch of The Letterman by the Editor-in-Chief of Premium Times, Musikilu Mojeed, on Thursday in Abuja.

The 492-page narrative non-fiction titled: The Letterman: Inside the ‘Secret’ Letters of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo” x-rays the role of letter writing in leadership, governance, and politics.

Jonathan, who was represented by former Minister of Aviation Osita Chidoka, described the former president (Obasanjo) as a father-like figure.

He said history will remember Obasanjo for the great things he did, not the quarrels and the fights.

Jonathan stated that there have been ample letters that have changed history.

The former President said Obasanjo’s letters created engagements within the political arena, diplomatic world, and other sectors.

Jonathan further commended the author (Musikilu) for the work he has done in bringing the letters together in a single book.

While speaking, the book reviewer, Bishop Matthew Kukah, said Obasanjo has made it hard for writers to write about him.

According to Kukah, Obasanjo developed an obsession with writing his own story adding that the former President wrote everything about himself and every part of his life.

Kukah noted that Obasanjo elevated the act of letter writing to an art form, as the book covered 25 letters on different issues.
