Yuguda seems to have been penciled down to be Jonathan's VP if making the VP to resign might lead to anarchy, the view is Yuguda should understurdy Jonathan  for 1/1/2 years  in which he will be positioned to take the mantle for the PDP with James Ibori being his VP.  This plan will only come to fruition if they cannot convince the VP to resign.

OBJ according to the report below has move some of its operational base to Abuja and he is pushing for the Jigawa Governor to be Jonathan's  VP.


Following Yar’Adua’s admission, for the first time, of a life-threatening condition, the battle for the soul of Nigerian politics has now broken out in two cities on two continents: Jeddah and Abuja, with Abuja as the epicenter.

In Abuja, a group loyal to Yar’Adua, led by his Chief Economic Adviser, Tanimu Kurfi and Abba Ruma has sworn to frustrate any talk of handing over of power to Yar’adua’s vice, Goodluck Jonathan.  Even though Jonathan Goodluck claims publicly that everything is okay with him, people knowledgeable about his status told Saharareporters that the report in The Punch newspaper of November 28 that he is being threatened with forced resignation is completely truthful.

Meanwhile, a splinter segment of the pro-Yar’Adua group, led by James Ibori, has moved to Dubai.  Ibori has been operational there since Thursday, and his plan is to keep in close contact with Yar’Adua in Saudi Arabia and help coordinate the anti-Goodluck forces outside the shores of Nigeria. This group has also vowed to convince Yar’Adua not to hand over power. They calculate that Yar’Adua would be superficially healthy enough to return to Nigeria in December or early in 2010 without officially handing over to Goodluck Jonathan. Ibori, who seems to have been assured by someone in the current administration that he will never be convicted for any of his corruption and money-laundering cases, is eyeing the Vice Presidency in 2011, either under Yar’Adua or someone else from the north. 

Late last night, the Abuja pro-Yar’Adua group sent an emissary directly to Jeddah to meet with Yar’Adua in the hospital. The group comprises three persons: Yar’Adua’s son-in-law, Isah Yuguda, businessman Aliko Dangote, and the governor of Kwara State, Bukola Saraki.  They arrived in Jeddah but our source said a face-to-face meeting had not taken place by the close of today. Isah Yuguda is being positioned to become Jonathan’s VP in case Yar’Adua resigns.

Another group of political manoeuvres is led by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who discreetly moved to Abuja last night to start working quietly with Jonathan.  That group proposes that should Yar’Adua not make it back to power, Jonathan Goodluck should choose Jigawa State Governor, Sule Lamido, as his deputy.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) is also considering conducting their presidential primaries in June next year, a few months earlier than scheduled. It is now almost certain that Yar’Adua cannot be a candidate in the 2011 elections, but his supporters are hell-bent on propping him in place until the PDP can conduct its primaries in 2010.

Meanwhile, in Jeddah, Yar’Adua is surrounded by his immediate family, his daughters, wife as well as the governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shema. Turai, it is known, is determined that her husband remain in office.

But the true state of his health remains shrouded in high secrecy following the leak in a local Saudi newspaper last week which forced his doctor and aides to partially reveal his immediate condition.  It did not escape Nigerians that the announcement did not reveal the full story about other conditions Yar’Adua is suffering from, or their possible consequences.

You are definitely right that we have, but one would think we have all tasted enough of this bull and are ready for something new and better for ourselves. But you never know, we are speaking of a country where just about anything seems to happen.

My brother, i just tire jare.
I ave seen so many people on Nairaland political section that said OBJ achived something while in office cos he sign GSM into law . . . so since then, dont even expect too much anymore, cos people seems to have developed better ways to deal with their poverty, by getting used to it.

N.I.Gboi:

, ticking time bomb, Nigeria must be be sitting on a time bomb about to explode. thot we had a constitution in this country.

ofcourse we have a constitution, but what is constitution when the people that think they have power are stil around, imagine OBJ moving to Abuja to decide the future of Nigeria, what a lame duck, someone that was in the office for 8 years and nothing done, someone that gave us a sick puppy as a leader and yet he now wanna decide what is next.
I guess now he will give us his daughter soon . . . . .what a joke of a nation

@ Richie boy

I will join the lookers train What a joke

My earnest prayer is that God wll keep the president so he ends this tenure. Otherwise, the issues involved are delicate and complex. Our ideas and comments especially on forums as this, are very different from realities on groud

Yawn
Double yawn

Lol

Neither Turai nor Yuguda will replace Yar'adua

Nigeria is not Togo.
