Through our spies in the presidents close circles, we have obtained the strategic plan for GEJ and his closest associates to retain power come 2015. I will only reveal some here for some of you to know. APC is studying this document and planning out a much more superior strategy.

In the introduction, authors of the document acknowledged that a new political order has emerged which seriously pose a threat to the political order created by Jonathan and his team. According to the document, “The public perception of government, the tension and contradictions within the PDP, extremist insurgencies and grave national security concerns, and desperation by the opposition parties to cobble together a mega-party are concrete indications of the struggle between an old and a newly constituted national power arrangement.”

The authors alleged that “there is sufficient evidence that attests to a well-oiled grand strategy to diminish the person of Mr President and the institution of the presidency, sabotage and impede the efficient execution of public policies, distract and compromise key institutions, and ensure a chaotic and unpredictable outcome in the 2015 general elections. Because these forces are critically entrenched in the key organs of the PDP, in the NASS, among the ranks of the party’s governors, in the media, within dominant ethnic and regional political formations and violent non-state actors, this struggle will become more acute and intense as the nation plots its political graph and trajectory to the 2015 general elections.”

The document started with a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis of the person of President Jonathan and the “new national power center he has constructed.” The following is directly from the document.

Strengths

•Power of incumbency and utilization of governance machinery, especially the careful and legal deployment of its propaganda and coercive apparatuses

•Secure financial resources base and leveraging on strategic media assets

•Formidable political apparatus—a reformed, disciplined and tightly controlled PDP—with significant presence in all the 36 states and dominant control over 23 states

•Deep-rooted, nation-wide support structures in the shape of GSG, N2G and literally speaking, hundreds of youth, women and regional affiliates controlled and supervised by the more dominant support structures

•Effective and efficient implementation of the transformation agenda in critical national sectors

•High personal likeability rating which has to be further strengthened and deepened

•When chips are down immense support will be secured from the National Council of State by ex-leaders who value continuity and order over instability and chaos

Weaknesses

•A less than forceful Presidential presence and infective deployment and application of presidential power

•The perceived appropriation of presidential advocacy space by exuberant partisans and fanatical supporters who project a wrong image of the presidency as a regional agenda. This situation tends to alienate moderate political forces across the country whose sense of co-ownership of the presidency appears diminished

•A perceived sense of distance between the Presidency and the PDP that has opened the space for internal dissention and outright rebellion by party stalwarts. This sense of disinterest and disengagement has engendered a culture of apology among Presidential spokespersons whenever matters connecting Mr President and the party appear on the public sphere

•Following on the above, the reality of Mr President being the leaders of the nation and the LEADER OF THE PARTY is not sufficiently grounded

•A technocratic cabinet that is not fully politically engaged, especially in media advocacy and community-wide outreach programmes. This unhelpful situation out burdens a handful regime insiders in their constant defense of The Presidency and the Transformation agenda

•A presidential communication strategy that is weak on proactive propaganda and rapid response

•Inability of Presidential power strategists to manage the relationship between The Presidency and the NASS to the degree that the later, particularly the HOR, which is dominated by the PDP, appears as an outfit and mouthpiece of the opposition

•Problematic relationship between the Presidency and some former heads of State when, in actuality, they should constitute the bedrock of his support

Opportunities

•Exploiting the current fractured state of the NGF for maximum political advantage by strengthening the co-operative faction and sustaining the pressure on recalcitrant PDP governors

•Exploiting the opportunities inherent in the putative fracturing of the Northern Governors’ Forum by strengthening co-operative governors and sustaining pressure, directly and through different front organizations, on the recalcitrant governors

•Playing on the political ambitions of regional champions, especially in the North, to the degree and extent that no unanimity of political purpose and cohesive agenda is ever achieved

•The APC may appear as a formidable threat initially but substantive opportunities will abound when ambitions and egos clash among its principal promoters. Strategic planning should factor in the scenario in the designing of intervention blueprint

•Exploiting the immense public opinion opportunities in the current war against terror in the North, especially given the steady successes thus far recorded by the NSA, and the military high command through the JTF

•Utilizing the social and economic empowering and inclusive space provided by SURE-P, particularly its integrated community empowerment schemes, to advertise and show case the populist and pro-people orientation of the government

Threats

There are sufficient grounds to believe that the NASS continues to pose a threat to the effective exercise of Presidential power in the areas of budget-making processes and the on-going amendments of the constitution with specific reference to devolution of power and tenure of elected officials

•Formidable forces in both the NGF and the NNGF continue to pose significant threat to the political calculations and choices open to Mr President

•Regional alliances among dominant ethnic blocks may constitute a threat to the political choices open to Mr President

•If the APC does not implode along the way, it will constitute a real threat to the PDP and Mr President

•Extremist insurgencies in the North and the burgeoning oil theft in the Niger Delta are already sources of concern and worry; the way and manner these issues are dealt with will determine the degree to which they will pose a threat down the line

•Regrettably, the current, crisis-ridden state of the PDP poses significant threat to the realization of the party’s political ambition in 2015, including that of Mr President

The SWOT analysis above is just a small excerpt from the document. The document was written after the New PDP was created but before the G5 and members of House of Representatives defected to APC. The rest of the document is an in depth analysis of what the PDP and President Jonathan should do to win the 2015 elections. This include changing perception of Nigerians through propaganda, establishment of a political intelligence unit, reforming PDP, fund mobilization strategies, causing political division in the North and South West, appointing politicians with grassroots support as ministers, deploying SURE-P for political purposes, using the civil society organizations and professionals organizations, increasing the number of registered voters in South-South, North central and South-East, and reducing the number of voters in the North and South West, etc.

I will stop here for now and will reveal more as the thread goes into a discuss

I got your write-up, nice job. Waiting for invaders to do their usual job.

One has to admire the methods of Cramjones in informing his audience as he tries to gain support for his party, APC. His method is an example of how to utilize a forum such as this, to the benefit of your political party.

In another display of cluelessness and incompetence, GEJ and the PDP, employ low IQ jobbers, whiners, cry babies, and others who claim to be sincere, but whose posts are filled with distortions and outright lies. GEJ needs to replace quite a few people if he hopes to return to Aso Rock in 2015.

I dey gbadun this Cramjones of a guy. Cramjones, pray tell, would you happen to be affiliated with one James Carville of the USA or is he one of your advisers?

As I write this. OBJ is in a close door meeting with Sokoto state governor, while FFK and other APC members are meeting with Gov Kwankwanso in Kano, which is now an APC strong hold. The road to 2015 will be an interesting one, we are not loosing sleep. Jonathan will be very very surprised at what is up for him. OBJ has shared some of the evidence with me on Jonathan's alleged plot to snipe out opposition. Now that it has been revealed, Jonathan will surely back track.

JONATHAN WILL SURELY BE SWEPT AWAY BY A WHIRL WIND COME 2015 If Nigeria continues on the path Jonathan and his handlers are taking us, we are bound to self destruct. I am sure none you of you want that. Let's vote them out....We need a progressive Nigeria not a battered corrupt-ridden, crime-ridden, kidnap-ridden, terrorist-ridden, poor-ridden Nigeria!!! God bless Nigeria!

jerseyboy: A far north Muslim will not rule over Nigeria as one nation in the next 20 years. We will not be led back to Egypt in the process of our exodus.

A good example of what Jonathan has amplified - Religious and tribal politics. We will sweep your likes out come 2015! We need a solution driven government, not one that employs religious and tribal sentiments to mask the real rot plaguing the system.

hmmm....

The above tabulated scenario reminds me the deceitful undertakings by Awolowo, Akintola and Rosiji in yesteryears.

Chairman, these are very potent intelligence nuggets to prepare the Nigerian people who are really suffering so much but for some strange reason they see it today and then they don't tomorrow and are somewhat unwilling to demand a complete change or nothing else. Well, there's still more good news coming and I know a few folks working on something that will be a real surprise game-changer for the 2015 elections and the general political process of Nigeria soon. If and when all the ducks get lined-up, I will be bringing updates to NLanders and Nigerians as a whole.

APC cannot stand!
GEJ ALL THE WAY'

A super story
"told by an idiiot, full of sound and fury,
signifying nothing"

emmaliveth10: APC cannot stand!
GEJ ALL THE WAY'

In the words of my friend - Patrick Obahiagon - Very lugubrious, unwitty and empty statement to make in a new year

emmaliveth10: APC cannot stand!
GEJ ALL THE WAY'

These are the kind of people who know nothing about Nigeria's politics! Have you ever sat down to think, how 2015 would look like for GEJ? If NO, try and sit yourself down and do the needful.

Sincere 9gerian: A super story

Look at this certified nitwit calling his masters idiiot.

DerideGull:

Mr. Gull, what exactly are you trying to say here? One would have thought you'd be comparing the tabulated scenarios with similar once employed by past political parties other than individuals.

donphilopus: Look at this certified nitwit calling his masters idiiot.

When dullards are outsmarted, outwitted, outshined, they resort to their familiar tool; name calling. The cat is out of the bag now, desperation has set in already.

hey fish brain.....if u have nothing to say but just insult then permit to say PHUCK U BITCH!!!

Please where dose fashola and buhari come into the equation? Without these two, it's going to be a landslide victory for pdp. We must understand that Jonathan is not planning on winning the next election, he is planning on rigging it. So apc must have a solid plan against Jonathan.

cramjones: OBJ has shared some of the evidence with me on Jonathan's alleged plot to snipe out opposition. Now that it has been revealed, Jonathan will surely back track.

Stop inciting the public with unsubstantiated propaganda while rehearsing it on social media hoping it sticks.

I suspect your party's quest for power will lead them to assassination of perceived GEJ's antagonists hoping to drag the name of our President to the mud.

Secondly, I have observed with dismay a dangerous strategy by the opposition to create this atmosphere of mistrust and suspicion within the public sphere against the Presidency in order to induced indelible hatred against his person and his supporters.

Irrespective of whatever concocted strategy you employ to assume power, make sure it wouldn't end in selling those dead woods and recycled Politicians to Nigerians as this wouldn't fly.

Moreover, stop repetition of blatant lies, allegations and unsubstantiated rumours on this board.

cramjones:

I'm sorry but it is the other way round. It is you and other hateful tribal bigots in Nigeria that amplified tribal and religious politics. Why would sitting governors decamp from a RULING party to OPPOSITION party if not because of tribal bigotry? What is the goal of every politician if not to be in the RULING party? If GEJ was Yar Adua, would 4 northern governors have left a RULING party to the OPPOSITION party? Nonsense! The earlier we flush effluents and tribal bigots like you down the Atlantic Ocean, the better for Nigeria. It is only after then that a GEJ will be given the same treatment and respect as a Yar Adua in Nigeria.

You are very right only on the rigging issue. The document contains plans to rig that I won't reveal here. However, I can tell you for a fact the if the Jonathan government rig the next election, Nigeria will be no more, I can tell you for a fact, and the PDP knows this, it is even written as one of the scenarios in this document. There will be no Nigeria to govern if Jonathan rigs...He has to be careful to for his safety if that happens...because this time No one is going to court. I can tell you for a fact that APC is not going to court if Jonathan rigs...The Nigerian people will settle the case once and for all! We believe in the rule of law, however, if this scenario plays out we won't go to court! Why? Because part of the strategic plan is to buy all the tribunal judges!

Why not simply come up with your own version of the propaganda instead of this attitude of giving up in exasperation.

To you...it may sound like lies...but not to others.

Come up with your own lies.

Cramjones,

Only naive NL'ers will take your so called 'special document' leakage serious, but I tell u what, that document is just an ANALYSIS OF POLITICAL SITUATION, is not a security document so how does snipers comes in?.

Every institution analyse situations as they happen, so tell us why wouldn't the presidency which is an institution would'my do one, and by the way does the way they went to work look clueless as u have thought?.

Sincere 9gerian:

I have this feeling that you are finding this your PPP rather hectic and getting pretty difficult...it's written all over your choice of words. You can't wait to flare up or pick up a fight.

Start looking and planning for your life from a post-GEJ 2015 standpoint.

I won't be surprised, we all know he's a paid tout.

This portion is GEJ's biggest headache in the social media....the likes of insinsere9nigerian and the rest are culprits.

One can only laugh at the implosion of PDP.

The fact is that- in most cases, the performance of an organisation has a correlation with the quality of its leadership. What exactly do we expect from a party headed by Jonathan and Bamangar Tukur?

It is important you all know what our stance would be should be the PDP rig! APC won't go to court...I can tell you for a fact. Yes, we believe in the rule of law, however, if rigging plays out we won't go to court! Why? It is part of the strategic plan for the presidency to buy all the tribunal judges, or change those not loyal to the president. If the PDP rigs, Jonathan will have no country to govern! The PDP even expressed this concern in their document! The Nigerian people will be the judges and there would be no where to hide. I won't talk further because GEJ is well aware of this!
