What I really want to find out is, if yar'adua was a southerner serving his eight year term according to the rotational presidency rules and he suddenly fell ill and out of office, and jonathan was a northerner and now the Ag. President, do you think the northern folks will still stick to the rotational agreement? Personally I think in this case it will SURELY be 100% assured by now that jonathan will become the next president. No two ways about it cos I think the southerners cannot put the north in check. The are just there playing along with whatever the north decides. Thats my opinion.
