Despite its nomination of new ministers today, the government of Goodluck Jonathan faces a serious danger from the Chief Justice of the Federation, Aloysius Katsina-Alu. Since coming to office by way of resolutions of the National Assembly declaring him *Acting President, Goodluck Jonathan has not succeeded in meeting with the CJN, who has consistently cited a busy schedule as his excuse. Saharareporters has learnt that Katsina-Alu’s refusal to cooperate with Jonathan is due to his closeness to Umaru Yar’Adua, whom he helped install in office through the Supreme Court in its controversial elections petition judgment.

In a series of reports detailing the shady deals involving Katsina-Alu and former Attorney General of the Federation, Michael Aondokaa, Saharareporters revealed how Yar’Adua successfully bribed Nigeria’s Supreme Court to award the favorable ruling that enabled his government to remain in power despite clear evidence that it didn’t win the April 2007 presidential poll.

The CJN who came to power in unusual circumstances as Yar’Adua was not around to swear him into office due to illness, has reportedly joined hands with remnants of the cabal loyal to Yar’Adua to undo the resolutions of the National Assembly that put Jonathan in power.

Saharareporters sources indicated that Yar’Adua’s wife, Turai, who had requested 10 ministerial positions and insisted that she be allowed to choose the most lucrative ministries, has turned to Katsina–Alu in the last 48 hours to begin preparation, on behalf of Yar’Adua, to declare Jonathan’s government illegal. Those plans, we are told, have reached an advanced stage.

Even though Jonathan apparently has put up a bold face, he is deeply worried about the plot of the CJN to contradict the declaration of the national assembly and his subsequent official actions. The threat posed by Aondoakaa and Katsina–Alu, who are both cousins from Benue State, may have influence Jonathan’s selection of Mohammed Bello Adokie into his cabinet.

Bello Adokie is known to be a close ally of Katsina–Alu. Adokie was instrumental to collecting the bribes used in installing the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, as governor even though he did not stand in the 2007 gubernatorial elections. The deal running into several billions of naira enabled the Supreme Court to declare Amaechi governor in a bizarre legal decision that is regarded as the first of its kind by the Court.

Jonathan’s team is somewhat hopeful that Adokie would help break the ranks of Katsina-Alu and Aondoakaa and help frustrate them from carrying out a coup that could send his somewhat shaky government packing prematurely.

The plans, which have been brewing in the last week has led to unusual speculations in some media houses, especially The Nation, Daily Trust and now Compass that Yar’Adua has “recuperated” fully and would be “resuming” work soon.

Saharareporters sources confirmed that Yar’Adua is still unable to speak or walk, but that his spiritualists have assured the family that he will be fully fit in three weeks time. It is unclear if his speech and physical therapists recently flown in from the US and Saudi Arabia have given similar assurances, but a medical source knowledgeable about his condition insists that Yar’Adua would not be able to resume office next week as is being peddled by some newspapers in a syndicated propaganda paid for by members of his cabal.

However, our sources revealed that in the event of the judiciary successfully scuttling Jonathan’s status as **Acting President, Yar’Adua’s wife has already arranged a cameo appearance by the ailing leader and a pre-recorded broadcast that would be used to inform Nigerians that he has “fully recovered” and taken office.

According to the plan, the cabal will then begin a pre-programmed propaganda that Yar’Adua is still recuperating, but since the courts would have dissolved the cabinet put in place by Jonathan, Yar’Adua would then recall members of his old cabinet which would continue business as usual.

Our source also said that the military wing of the cabal remains active, and that the sudden resurgence of rumors that the service chiefs would be replaced by Jonathan could give them a chance to strike soon.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Yar’Adua has constituted her own cabinet on the side in preparation for the court action and subsequent declaration of an end to Jonathan’s presidency. The list, which contains names of five new ministers, currently retains most of the old ministers including Michael Aondoakaa, who would return to his own haunts and habits as Attorney General and Minister of Justice, the post from which Jonathan removed him in his first day on the job.

If this evil plan succeeds, I wonder how Nigeria would survive it as it is capable of dovetailing into many untoward things happening such as miliyary coup, protests and riots et al. The days ahead are filled with danger.

hmmmm Sahara reporters una don come again ooooooooooooooooo, na action film.

I thought this was one of the landmark judgements of the land for which the Judiciary had received a lot of commendation, and where did Amaechi get the billions and now is working hard here in PH developing the state or is he not interested in recouping the cost incured in getting the judgements. If we have to get bizarre judgements for characters like Amaechi to have a space in our political arena then I am down with it.

I AM SURE AONDOAKA TOLD THEM THIS RUBBISHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"How did rumours get started? It is started by the jealous people. They imagine something they had and somebody else is holding". This is pure speculation

Cant these losers give up already Cant they see that after every move they make, Jonathan keeps climbing higher and higher.
They probably thought smuggling Yar Adua in would weaken Jonathan. Sorry, it strengthened him.
Any silly actions they take would only strengthen Jonathan more and more

lets wait and see

The days ahead are scary, but one thing for sure; God pass them!

can you guys see those evill doers with a holly bible? surely there will be struck death for swearing we the bible just to punish mankind

A time comes when all these nonsense has to stop there is a saying in pidgin english " if na play make them stop am ", it is time for all these actors involve in the Yaradua illness spectacle to draw the curtain, this play has run it course Nigerians has stop playing the fool.

There ain't a Murder unless there is a body, If Yaradua is going to issue any kind of command, statment or broadcast he would have to do it physically with th cameras rolling otherwise some Nigerians like myself believe he is actually six feet under. The onus on Turai to prove us wrong.

What landmark did that judgement create?

It sure set a bad precedence in our judicial system. It was an affront on the electorate. The judgement simply was saying that even  goat can win an election and that to the Nigerian electorate it was simply the party that mattered.

And why do you think Ameachi couldnt  have raised the billions?

I  know a few people  applauded the judgement (for reasons best known to them) but much more people condemned it.

@na so. If its thru dat kind of judgements that will produce action govs without godfadas who will improve the lot of the people then I am down with it.

Do u think elections actually guarantee you a responsible leadership, don't you know that you can only choose from options available or why won't Okonjo Iweqla come out to contest to be president?

Is there any other way they can make Jonathan cease to be the acting president (except by bringing Yaradua back to his seat) or at least remaining the VP (except by annulling Yaradua's election)?
