The Punch reports that Mark said this in a book titled “Against the Run of Play’’ where he wondered how an incumbent president could lose such an election in Nigeria.

The book was written by the Chairman of ThisDay’s editorial board Olusegun Adeniyi who also interviewed Mark.

According to Mark, he saw the defeat coming and had pointed out the unrealistic voting projections made by the party about the north to the former president.

He also pointed out the conspiracy against him but Jonathan did not take him seriously.

He said:“I saw it and at different times, I pointed out to him and the party that the projections being made by some people around the president about what the voting pattern in the north would were wrong.

“I could see the conspiracy and the gang-up building up in the north against the aspiration of Jonathan but my voice was drowned out by those who took it for granted that a sitting president, and one from PDP, could not lose.

“Some people were deceiving the president with the kind of false scenarios they were painting for him.

Jonathan lost because he did not listen to Mark’s advices.

”The VP could see the conspiracy but I don’t know how much influence he had on the campaign. Why Jonathan couldn’t see it until it was too late is what I find difficult to understand.”

ZENITHBLOG.com recalls that Professor Attahiru Jega responded to Goodluck Jonathan’s statement that the 2015 general election was flawed due to the different votes recorded in the election.

Jonathan made this claim in the same book Against the Run of Play by Adeniyi.
