JONATHAN IS THE MOST SPINELESS BEING ON EARTH.

A disgrace to every ''quick minded, fleet footed'' niger deltan out there.

WHAT DID HE HAVE TO LOSE. . . .

He was largely relegated in the administration prior to this whole saga
in the first place.

What was the worst that could happen.

The worst that could have happened was for him to be impeached, and the
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY would not have been able to muster the required votes anyway.

The SPINELESS BAGGAR.

Its highly ridiculous the way some of us think this present power tussle in Nigeria is between the north and south.we dont really know who is fooling who,some of the top government functionaries including the acting president knew yaradua will be smuggling into the country yesterday.didn't you all heard when the spokeperson of the 6-man delegation to saudi Ojo maduekwe said they were only going to saudi to thank and show appreciation to  king fahad for all the good job he has done for keeping our president for 3 months.they can keep fooling some folks but i have decided to channel my time and energy to enlighten those that cares to listen that what we really need now is REVOLUTION.its not a guarantee a southner would do better than yaradua.

I'm with you on that, but is there a way we can do it peacefully?

The hawks may be making all the noise now, but the truth remains that if Jonathan finds out that the PRESIDO is still on life support, he will have to gamble somethings and go for the kill. In a matter of days the coaches on both sides will show up and further gaming continues. we dey watch.

Heard that Yar Adua was "smuggled" into the country today. The airport was supposedly shut down for a few hrs and all staff were asked to go home. For all we know, that guy don die. But what's with all d secrecy?

Only those in power would be able to answer those questions. . . . .But would it actually be possible to tell all employees at the Airport to go home?

How he got out of the plane, no one knows. I wonder who the pilot was. I wonder if he knew what or who was on board. Sooner or later, we will know.

@fhemmmy

I believe there would be workers working at the wing Yaradua landed. Besides, it was in the night. There would be little or no activity then.

My guy you dont seem to understand the dynamics here. The guy had to be careful, else he would clearly have had treason charges on his hands. The powers to impeach lie squarely with the national assembly and they were not willing to act. The FEC was not sure of the state of yaradua's health hence not much could be done as turai sheilded everyone.

The truth is if  jonathan had been more desperate yaradua would have shown up earlier(with the same life support machine) , the hawks were working with the state of affairs and timing back home.

Have you asked why He decided to show up now? Is he healthier now? I think the answer is in the negative.

The point is the six-man delegation was a smooth plot by JOE to gather enough momentum for impeachment. The hawks read the script and did a counter attack. The drama continues ,

Jonathan still has some cards.

I am sure the guy is probably hearing about it, like me and you did.
However, soon, we will know more, like u said.
Only said, we have to be going all around to get information about someone that was supposed to be working for us all, cos we all pay his salary
Re: Jonathan To Remain In Charge While Yar'adua Recovers by coolguyz(m): 6:31pm On Feb 24, 2010
This country is just one huge theatre


1545 - Michael Aondoakaa is also scheduled to return this afternoon.

1530 - The private meeting has ended and the Minister of Information gave a very quick briefing confirming that the Acting President would indeed be meeting with the first lady this evening. She dodged the obvious question of why he is meeting the first lady and not the President.

1448 - Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to meet with First lady Turai Yar’Adua this evening.

The Acting President Goodluck Jonathan will continue to run state affairs while President Umaru Yar'Adua recovers after three months of medical treatment in Saudi Arabia, the presidency has announced.

A statement by Olusegun Adeniyi, a spokesman for the presidency said, "President Yar'Adua wishes to re-assure all Nigerians that on account of their unceasing prayers and by the special grace of God, his health has greatly improved. However, while the President completes his recuperation, Vice President Jonathan will continue to oversee the affairs of state."

1404 - Statement by Presidency spokesman, "VP to run state affairs as President recovers."

1333 - Officials of the State Security Service (SSS) ransack office of the Vice-President.

1326 - Unconfirmed reports quote sources at Aso rock as saying that the Acting President Goodluck Jonathan will resign at the 2PM meeting and some ministers might go with him.

1245 - Action Congress says the "mere presence" of the president is not enough for him to resume power. Publicity secretary, Lai Muhammed, says the president must now write a letter to nation assembly to announce that he is fit for office.

1239 - Senate begins third reading of Section 145 ammendement bill. On the same day that it passed the second reading.

1232 - Army official detailed to receive president at airport this morning claims that Mr. Yar'Adua "walked" into the waiting ambulance. This is unconfirmed.

1220 - Secretary to the government of the federation, Yayale Ahmed, announces that the weekly federal executive council meeting has been postponed. The Acting president will still meet with his cabinet in his office at 2pm but this will be a private meeting. No reference made to President Yar'Adua's health or return. He is not expected however to attend the meeting between Goodluck Jonathan and his cabinet.

1153 - Senate goes ahead to conclude debate amending section 145 of the constitution without any mention of President Yar’Adua’s return.

1135 - Jonathan is waiting, trying to avoid embarrassment by staying away and waiting for the president who is taking eternity to come out

1134 - Senate makes no reference to the president's return and continues session on amendment of Section 145 of the Nigerian constitution. However various groups are seen fervently huddling together during recess.

1131 - A security detail is guarding the president’s chair to ensure Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan does not sit on the chair.

♦One hour after the weekly cabinet meeting of ministers was supposed to have commenced, there is no sign that it would hold, as all the ministers have stayed away.

Neither the Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan nor his aides have also turned up. This is very unusual, as they (the Acting President and his aides) always keep to time in past meetings. Mr Jonathan had locked out some ministers from past meeting for lateness.

However, aides to the ailing President, Umaru Yar'Adua who returned to the country, early this morning were seen at the chambers. Mr Yar Adua's (Aide-de-Camp) ADC, Mustapha Onoedieva
and Chief security Officer Yusufu Tilde were seen at the council chambers for a while earlier today, but they also left.

No presidency official is willing to talk yet.

President Umaru Yar'Adua returned to Nigeria early this morning, and was carried from the airport in an ambulance. A terse report on Nigerian Television Authority this morning said he has been taken to a ‘clinic.'

Re: Jonathan To Remain In Charge While Yar'adua Recovers by afemai: 6:42pm On Feb 24, 2010
Pk001:

Yaradua has no right to dictate whether Jonathan should remain in office or not, because he wasn't the the one that made him acting President. The only thing he can do is to write the house of assembly informing  them that he has fully recovered. It is  only the national assembly that will return him back as president after receiving the letter. Goodluck Jonathan remains President till that is done!!
I wonder why anyone would want Goodluck to hussle for power, you said it all
the national assembly and FEC has the final say here, if they decides not to for obvious reasons
like greed and flowing naira then we continue with the status quo whether favourable or not am indifferent.
what difference is between Goodluck and Yar adua anyway?

wrong. Yaradu is HEAD OF FEC. so he has the FINAL say. He appointed all of them!

NA can ofcourse impeach him. But they would set a dangerous precedent.

Impeach North president for South President. They wont go that route.
Yaradua is executive PRESIDENT. Goodluck is the Vice-President. He waits for orders from Yaradua.

There is no LAW that says Yaradua must see Goodluck face to face to pass duties for him!

Jonathan should as a matter of first instance start doing what he should
have done before.

They say he is in charge of affairs. That means he has power to fire and
appoint ministers.

If they say he doesn't, then they should produce Yaradua to come and handle
his own FEC meetings.

If he doesn't, then impeachment proceedings must begin. . . .

Lets see the North argue against that.

Good Idea but Turai has better plans.

Goodluck cannot do anything that Yaradua has not approved even if they make him the face of the administration.

It is Yaradua signature or thumb print that must be in official gazattes!

Yaradua does not need to physically attend the FEC meeting.

He can summorn them all to his sick bed side or pass comment through the VP or his Press guy to the FEC.

Yaradua appointed all the FEC members!

Yar'adua is retarded!
Yar'adua is a slowpoke

Your rants wont solve anything. You need to understand how it works in Aso Rock.
