In all fairness, i don't have the right headline to this write-up.

But here we go.

During the Obasanjo regime, being the first democratic regime after the military rule, we all witnessed how active his Vice then was, in the person of Atiku Abubakar. His presence was felt in the government, in the decision making, he granted press conferences, he aired his view on any issue being discussed at the time. That was all untill he fell-out with his boss. We all knew how that story ended.

Now coming to the present administration, we have a Vice president that does not literally exist, we barely hear of him or from him. He has been so quiet that we most a times mistaken the First Lady to be our Vice President(atleast we do here from her, though she sometimes speaks in a language specifically perculiar to her).

During the Chibok issue, i didn't read or heard that this is what our VP said. Even the Boko haram issue that every Dick, Tom and Harry is lending their voices to, i didn't hear his voice.

He sometimes commissions projects on behalf of the President, but is that all?

Could it be that the office of the Vice presidency doesn't have a media team or i am reading the wrong Newspapers.

Could it be that the Jonathans character is so domineering that it left the Sambos lurking in the shadow?

What could be the problem, where is our Vice President?

Would love my EDUCATED colleagues in the house to give their take on this.

SHALLOM!!

Okay

should we put you in his position?

Op during Yar' Adua term jonathan was exactly like the sambo of now ..deputy position in nigeria is just a fill-in-the-blank position...nothing more or less

Sir, Jonathan was more prononced during his little stunt as a VP, unlike Sambo who is lying redundantly in Aso rock..

Sometimes Patience Jonathan is introduced before Namadi Sambo in events.

Jobless foreigners ,only a non nigeria would not know who's heading the power reform project,the VP has been the person in charge of this project and common nigerians know him.

So because he's 'heading the power reform project', thats why he should not lend a voice to other issues and reforms?

He is the VP, not the Minister for Power.

You be small pikin for politics? Your Atiku that was busy sharing oils blocks and fleecing the country blind with Obasanjo, where is he today? You think Sambo is a fool? The man is a strategist:he is bidding his time. Chances are that after Jonathan might have completed his next term, Sambo is likely to be the next President with a South Easterner as his vice to cohere with the PDP zoning arrangement. You think politics is about noisemaking. All the northerners making noises all over the place will be shocked when the chips are down. Sambo has built a considerable goodwill in the south that almost no northerner can hold a candle to him if southerners were to make a choice among northern candidates in the future. You also appear to forget that the man is educated and not the archetypal ignorant northern politician who refuses to countenance the changing dynamics of present day Nigerian politics. This is 2014.
