Atiku's Running Mate Becomes Presidential Adviser by Boyoorisha: 12:34pm On Nov 02, 2011
Jonathan And Atiku Reconcile As Atiku Running Mate Becomes Presidential Adviser


President Jonathan and former Vice President and rival of the president for the 2011 PDP Presidential ticket,  Atiku  Abubakar, appear to be on the path toward reconciliation as President Jonathan appoints Senator Ben Obi, Mr. Atiku's running mate in the 2007 election and his Campaign
Director General during his 2011 Presidential bid as one of his Special Advisers, a cabinet level position.

Senator Obi who is a confidante of Atiku Abubakar was sworn in yesterday at about 1pm in the council chambers of the Presidential Villa as Special Adviser to the President on Inter-Party Affairs. He was sworn in along with Dr Mariam Ali, who was sworn in as Special Adviser to the President on Inter-governmental Affairs.

Others sworn in with Obi and Mayiam Ali who incidentally os wife of the garrulous and abrasive former PDP chairman under Obasanjo who lost her senatorial race to Senator Patrick Osakwe of Delta state in 2007 are Ahmed Gulak, sworn in as Political Adviser to the President and Professor Tamunopriye Agiobenebo sworn in as Adviser on Economic Matters (Vice President’s Office).

With this reconciliation move, the stage is set for Atiku Abubakar to begin to expand his influence in the present administration given that the deputy speaker, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, is a dyed in the wool Atiku man.


Given that a number of Atiku's men have found their waybinto sensitive positions in the current set up, many are of the opinion that the chances of Atiku Abubakar in the Presidential race for 2015 are brightening. This is even as the front runner for the PDP chairmanship position, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, is from Adamawa the home state of Atiku Abubakar.

All these seemingly unconnected happenings in the political arena that appear to favour Atiku Abubakar are not mere happenstances if you know and or study the personality and politics of the Turakin Adamawa.
