•How Beninese president facilitated Kenya meeting
•Obasanjo meets S/W PDP leaders



president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, to President Goodluck Jonathan continues to generate reactions, the president of Benin Republic, Mr Boni Yayi, has launched a peace move to reconcile the two warring leaders.

President Yayi is reputed to be very close to both President Jonathan and Obasanjo. The Benin leader has had cause to serve as peacemaker between the two leaders in the past.

Sunday Tribune was reliably told that since the controversial letter became public, the Benioniose leader had launched into action, tracking President Jonathan from South Africa to Kenya to forestall escalation of the feud.

President Yayi is said to be conversant with the relationship and issues between the two Nigerian leaders, even as a source said the African Union (AU) former chairman is well versed in the internal politics of Nigeria.

A top administration source revealed that Yayi was the organiser of the unusual meeting between both Obasanjo and Jonathan in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. Yayi was said to have prevailed on both leaders to meet and talk to douse tension back at home.

It was not clear whether it was the intervention of Yayi that stopped harsh reaction and response of the Nigerian Presidency to the letter as well as the directive to presidential aides not to engage Obasanjo. It was, however, gathered that Yayi had placated the two leaders to iron out issues out of public glare.

Details of Yayi’s peace plan is, however, not clear beyond the meeting between the two leaders which security sources said had done a lot to calm frayed nerves and douse the tension raised by the letter.

Idi Amin: Obj and Gej are both phd holders in unarmed robbery, so what's the fuss about? Aboki, continue to shine my shoes and don't mind those 1diots until 2019

crystalballs: Where are the fresh air team.

samuelkaykay: Obj want to rule Nigeria again through Lamido.

eGuerrilla: ceo4eva, if the unnamed source in that Vanguard article is to be believed, it would appear the detente organised by Yayi broke down somewhere in the Kenyan airspace

Gej's silence in the midst of all this provocations from these bitter politicians is a thing of concern to them.

I love GEJ for one thing. [b]His silence is uncommon in the midst of all this provocations. His silence has earned him the name clueless and retardeen. [/b]For sure, who ever tutored GEJ in this roughshod called nigeria politics is the best.


I will drop machiavelli's famous quote " the end justifies the means".

Although you have not formally informed me one way or the other, it will be necessary to refresh your memory of what transpired in 2011. I had gone to Benue State for the marriage of one of my staff, Vitalis Ortese, in the State. Governor Suswam was my hospitable host. He told me that you had accepted a one-term presidency to allow for ease of getting support across the board in the North. I decided to cross-check with you. You did not hesitate to confirm to me that you are a strong believer in a one-term of six years for the President and that by the time you have used the unexpired time of your predecessor and the four years of your first term, you would have almost used up to six years and you would not need any more term or time.

Tell me how many Nigerian leaders would not want to try for another complete four years. Even though Obasanjo after 2 full terms tried to see if if he could get a 3rd term and if it was no such a great protest he would have taken a 3rd term.It is obvious that GEJ got a taste of power, and is not ready to let go of those reins now. 2015 will be a showdown between the Old Nigerian Guard and the Newbies that were not part of the military regime in Nigeria's past. I pray the elite will finish themselves, and at the same time exposing this so called democrazy, for what it is, a farce. Let them keep writing letters and jumping party lines, so the citizens can finally come to terms and realization, that this recycled power among the elite is just a way to keep the citizens in bondage. We must not be fooled to choose party sides or practicing ethnic favoritism, they are all the same in my book!

This is just politricks to keep us distracted, from the continued theft of our national resources and wealth.
