GMB knew that GEJ never wish him dead and will not do that.
Nigeria is a great country with many enemies both within and outside. There are so many elements that wants to destabilize this country and we're helping them with the type of politics we play.
The problem we are having today is because political parties have failed to work together for common good.
I am not a supporter of APC nor belong to any party but supports good policies coming from this govt. However,
whoever planned the attack on Buhari is the worst enemy of Nigeria. Our enemies will never succeed in their plan to destroy this great nation with good people, the pride of Africa.

God Bless Nigeria

I can't believe that Egbere Jonathan provided bullet proof car for Boko sponsors as alleged by some fools in here.
Where are they now to make sense out of this foolish act from Retardeen.

I think it is a stretch giving "thanks" to, and heaping praises on, GEJ for the provision of 'extra' Security for Buhari (if indeed he did), and whoever this so called Professor is that wrote this article should know that. Buhari, as a former Commander in Chief is entitled to such perks, and GEJ 'allowing' it to continue is not doing him any new favors. Doing otherwise, however, would've been a dereliction of duty and abuse of power.

Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is a great and good man. Posterity will judge him positively and he will be sorely missed after 2019.

This is exactly how politics is played.
Assuming tables turn and APC happens to be the govt at the centre..... could this gesture ever be reciprocated?

Your guess is as good as mine. Their antecedents have been purely negative and evil politics.

I guess Amaechi's behaviour is indicative of a response to your poser highlighted above:

Here is an excerpt from Akin Osuntokun's Thisday Column,
I join President Goodluck Jonathan and other well-wishers to thank God that General Muhammadu Buhari came to no harm in the attack on his convoy two days ago. The bad news is that scores of lesser known mortals lost their lives in the twin bomb attacks in Kaduna. For the record I have just been informed by Dangiwa Umar of how, a while ago, he got President Jonathan to boost the security around Buhari - which he did - with, among other reinforcements, the provision of armoured vehicles for his personal use. Only God knows the role played by these appurtenances in the survival of the general.
]


In a manner of speaking, this incident was presaged by the relapse of Buhari into the characteristic mould of issuing volatile and inciting statements - itself a culmination of an earlier one by another national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Since the outcome of the Ekiti State governorship election, the party appears to have gone into a state of acute paranoia and panic. Contrived or inadvertent, the intensified momentum towards anarchic breakdown of society is an ill wind that will blow nobody any good.


Ironically, a lot of the sabre rattling is really a twisted cry and supplication to Jonathan to help in salvaging the APC from itself-imploring the president to use his good offices to intervene in saving APC governors from being impeached; to pull PDP back from the massive tailwind it gathered from Ekiti State. You have to ask yourself whether this escalation would have materialised if APC had won the election in Ekiti State, if Osun State is not at play, if Nyako had not been impeached, in short if the party is not collapsing on itself.


The way some APC partisans have latched on to the Buhari attack to rope in the president would have been comical were it not so tragic. If anybody should talk of conspiracy theories, the finger pointing may actually be more plausibly directed near home. The instant scapegoating of Jonathan - pointedly precluding Boko Haram as likely suspect - is in itself cause for suspicion. General Buhari had better watch his back against those who would rapidly concoct diversionary excuses for his potential assassination.


Even if Jonathan were to be incredibly naïve politically, he would at least know that Buhari is more useful to him alive than dead. Nothing solidifies support for Jonathan’s candidature better than the personality and potential candidacy of a divisive and polarising Buhari. So why eliminate such a rough and ready mobilisation tool? My thinking is that Buhari is a problem not for Jonathan but for the APC.


Contrariwise and for the same reason of his utility for his political opponent, Buhari has become like a fishbone caught in the throat of the APC. He is the central dilemma figure of the party. He is their most popular candidate, yet, constrained by the exclusive sectarian lop-sidedness of his popularity, he, most likely, would never be a winning bet for the Nigerian presidency.
The most charitable view of the insinuations and allegations being bandied around by people like Nasir el-Rufai is that it is a poor imitation of the wild and scurrilous allegations accusing Jonathan of waging genocide against the north by Murtala Nyako. This not being the case let us hope that this dastardly act is not an indication that some people are just too much in a hurry in the race to succeed Buhari.
