My article in the UK Guardian about how President Goodluck Jonathan blunder's cost him the 2015 Nigerian presidential election.

4. Bad management
Jonathan’s relations with party members at times resembled a football coach antagonising his star players into leaving for rival teams. His tendency to fall out with colleagues simultaneously weakened his party and strengthened the opposition.

Getting on the wrong side of Obasanjo is the political equivalent of crossing a mafia don. You will pay.

All i can type is 'amen'

Sir I think some of your postulations are not accepted by me.
First obasanjo never formed PDP but PDP was formed by politicians like Ekwueme, Solomon Lar etc.
Secondly Jonathan even though a good man was not a politician and could not apply political solution to political problems like insecurity, opposition, defections and carpet crossing.

An astute politician like odili would have defeated buhari with out much effort.
Jonathan simply put was not Street smart

Jonathan lost the elections because he had no balls to rig. Thats the only reason.
