I smell trouble in the camp of The People's Enemies. I pray this isn't just speculation.


A cold war brewing between President Goodluck
Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo came
out in the open last weekend as the two political
figures attended two different events with their
political allies. Mr. Jonathan was in Yenagoa, the
capital of Bayelsa State, to bury his brother, Meni,
while Vice President Sambo was in Kaduna to give
his two daughters, Aisha and Huwaila, out in
marriage.
A top official of the Peoples Democratic Party told
SaharaReporters that many members of the party
were baffled that the president fixed the burial of
his brother on the same day that his vice
president had set for his two daughters’ marriage.
SaharaReporters learnt that Mr. Sambo’s
daughters’ wedding had been scheduled months
ago. “The president knew about the wedding and
received his invitation long before his brother died
on November 20,” said our source, adding that
First Lady Patience Jonathan had been tapped to
be “Mother of the Day” at the nuptials.
Several sources disclosed that the relationship
between the President and the Vice President
started to deteriorate when Sambo received
reliable indications that Mr. Jonathan was
determined to run for another term in office. The
prospect of the president’s going for a second
term has alarmed Northern political figures,
among them the vice president, who had been
calculating ways of retaking Nigeria’s highest
political office.
“We know that some northern elders have been
putting pressure on Vice President Sambo to
position himself to challenge the president,” said
a source close to Mr. Jonathan.
Other sources in Aso Rock told us that President
Jonathan was well aware that Mr. Sambo is
exploring options for running for the presidency in
2015. “He has been trying to raise his profile and
rally political heavyweights and operatives to his
corner,” said a Jonathan associate. The source
accused the VP of “trying to flex his political
muscles, but he should know that, even if Mr.
President decides not to run, he [the president]
will still have a say in who succeeds him.”
One of Mr. Jonathan’s men said that they came
close to declaring war “after Vice President Sambo
selected a powerful delegation and went with
them to pay a condolence visit to Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari on the loss of his daughter.”
A political observer described the scenes in
Yenagoa and Kaduna last weekend as resembling
“a realignment of political forces around President
Jonathan and Vice President Sambo.” Those who
mourned with Mr. Jonathan in Yenagoa included
Senate President David Mark, who also has
presidential ambitions, as well as numerous
Nollywood players. On the other hand, such
personalities as Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida,
Muhammadu Buhari and several Northern
political figures, traditional rulers and business
executives attended the vice president’s more
festive event.
A source close to the vice president disclosed that
Mr. Jonathan was in a precarious position. “He is
waging an ongoing political war against [former
President Olusegun] Obasanjo,” said the source.
A confidant of President Jonathan’s admitted that
members of the president’s camp were angry at
Mr. Obasanjo for trying to remotely control the
ruling party long after his exit from power. The
People Democratic Party recently stated that
there was no plan to reconcile the president and
Mr. Obasanjo.
On his part, Mr. Obasanjo has said in private and
public forums that President Jonathan is bound to
leave in 2015. The former president’s statement
is at odds with Aso Rocks’ strategy of leaving Mr.
Jonathan’s opponents guessing as to his next
plans.

People should stop carrying unnecessary rumours. Their is nothing sacrosanct if the duo of the president and VP are at wars.in politics these are normal things, the game is about interest and not friendship.The burial rites of Meni must have been fixed in line with with tradition which might have coincided with Sambo's daughters wedding day.Sahara reporters in their characteristic deceit is only wishfully thinking and birming smoke where their is no fire.

Rumor from the enemies camp.

Assumptions. There is no hardcore evidence of any quarrel between Mr President and the VP
