The vice president, Namadi Sambo, has refuted claims that he is plotting to take over President Goodluck Jonathan’s job, saying the allegation is false.

“The entire story as reported is premised on hearsay and falsehood and smacks of sponsorship” a statement signed by the special assistant to the Vice President on media and publicity, Umar Sani said.

He added that the whole episode “is clearly intended to spread mischief and cause disaffection in the formidable Goodluck/Sambo camp.

“At no time has Sambo ever contemplated being the vice president of the federation but for President Jonathan who nurtured and ensured its maturity.” He said it was therefore preposterous for anyone to even speculate that Mr Sambo will “stab the President in the back going by the synergy they have developed which has always been a source of nightmare to their political opponents”.

Mr Sani also said the Mr Sambo has never minced words in condemning the consensus arrangement by the Adamu Ciroma led Northern Leaders Political Forum.

“He has maintained that he is the political leader of the North going by the precedence already established in governance by his position as the vice president and that no such group should go on a journey of usurpation. He believed conscientiously that such an effort was an exercise in futility,” Mr Sani said, adding that the Vice President “holds tenaciously and cherishes his fraternal relationship with President Goodluck Jonathan and could not have condescended so low as to embark on a rat race with his boss”.

Mr Sani further noted that political battles are better fought on the political as well as electoral turf based on issues and “not through outright falsehood sponsored on the pages of newspapers”.

“Political opponents should be prepared to confront the formidable team of Goodluck/Sambo train which is unstoppable rather than promote and propagate falsehood,” he said.

Its like SAMBO is trying very hard to prove prophet AYODELE right after all. The dude prophecised ''this rift'' months back.

What rift? The man has refuted the newspaper reports and you still say there is a rift?

If he didn't refute it the likes of chosen04 would still berate him.
Its mind boggling the stupidity exhibited on Nairaland.

Here we go again. This is how the OBJ/Atiku stories started,

WHY PEOPLE ARE SO WICKET, THEY KNOW VERY WELL THAT GEJ IS WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH SAMBO,
THAT IS WHY THEY WANT TO FORCE SAMBO TO DO WHAT HE DIDN'T DREAM TO DO WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW !!!! THEY JUST WANT TO REMOVE BREAD IN SAMBO'S MOUTH AND PUT STONE

politicaians must always find a way to distabilise their opponents. they will still come up with another propagander. I dey laugh.

Bad belle people has come again to spoil sambo infront of his boss

Nigerians should watch that untrustworthy GEJ.
Nnamdi Sambo is a nobody

RIFT OR NO RIFT, THERE IS NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. COME TO THINK OF IT, ARE THEY NOT HUMANS? WHY WON'T THERE BE FRACAS AT LEAST? IF THEY RULE THROUGH ON A BED OF ROSES THEN THERE SHOULD BE QUESTIONS ASKED COS THEY ARE FROM DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS,ETHNIC AND PSYCHOLOGICAL BACKGROUNDS. THEIR FACES ARE EVEN DIFFERENT SO A RIFT IS NOT UNEXPECTED.

WHAT SHUD BE A SURPRISE IS SAMBO DENYING IT.
