.says APC came with four legs without head in 2015


A leading security expert and political analyst in Nigeria, Mr Lekan Jackson-Ojo has described the alleged plan to make the former President Goodluck Jonathan stage a comeback to the presidency as a gimmick of the Northern political elite.

He opined that the Northern elite, having realised that the constitution can only allow Jonathan to spend only one term more, decided to use him as a short bridge back to power, adding that such agenda would be at the detriment of the former president .

The security expert made this assertion in a telephone interview with our Correspondent on Monday in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

Jackson-Ojo added that the level of damage the All Progressives Congress, APC, had done to Jonathan in the count down to 2015 general election would not make him sellable again amongst Nigerian electorate.

He explained that in the bid to destroy the then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic party, PDP, the APC succeeded in destroying former President Goodluck Jonathan and terribly defamed his personality.

He said'', The rumour making the round that the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, is planning to come back and complete his second tenure as stipulates by the Nigerian constitution, is nothing but a fallout of the political permutation of the Northern political elites, who are desperately looking for short bridge to come back to power after 2023.

"It is a dangerous dummy the northern oligarchy wants to sell to gullible Nigerians, it is obvious that they don't want a fresh person that will be constitutionally eligible to spend an eighth years of two terms, they don't want a long bridge, they desire short bridge back to power.

"This gimmick could be compared to what happened to Pastor Ize Iyamu of Edo in the recently concluded gubernatorial election in the state. While Oshiomole of APC completely destroyed Iyamu in 2016, and vociferously massacred his character to favour candidate of his party, having realised the political strength of Iyamu as grassroots mobilizer, it became practically impossible for him to sell Iyamu again in 2020.

"In the same vein the present ruling APC, that came to power in 2015 with four legs and no head destroyed Jonathan to hijack the political machinery in 2015, calling him all sorts of names, saying he was corrupt, weak and clueless.

"Sincerely, if former President Goodluck Jonathan falls for this cheap political popularity this time around, he will surely die politically and fail woefully. It will then create the opportunity for the North to scale through on the platform of PDP with their candidate".

Jackson-ojo added that while the North could come together as formidable political front in all the 19 states, including the FCT to support a particular candidate for election into the presidency, the South would be greatly divided amongst itself along ethnic and religious lines .

He stressed that the greatest power of the North is neither intellectual nor economical, but in the unity of purpose and agenda, saying the North could easily mobilise all it's social structures, including the traditional institution to achieve it's political goal.

He continued '', Somebody is trying to contest for the presidency from the South, as we speak, that person can't get any support form Ondo, Oyo, Ekiti and Ogun, and he was said to be nursing ambition to become president, where would that support come from, and definitely, Kwara will go with the North, forget that Yoruba are majority .

"Let me tell you this bitter truth, those who are romancing Jonathan to contest the 2023 presidency are those individuals that are working against Tinubu in the APC, so, Jonathan should be wary of these political gladiators, they can't be trusted in anyway".

Thats what you hear when the Abokis are playing smart.


These guys prefers, power to life and result. They prefer to die than cede power to a pagan thats why most of them are comfortable with the killing and can't say Buhari should step aside so that Osibanjo that we are all sure will deliver take over.

I have learnt not to pity them again.

Very true. Osibanjo would not just deliver, but would impress Nigerians beyond our expectations.

Nothing wrote if GEJ bounce back to power....!!

It will surely end in tears for the North.

More like ''the return of Abija....'' The Vengeance

Political Intrigues

Sad but true, the plot would work except we rise up and say no more Nigeria. If not, North would rule us for the next 100 years, and after those years we would become poorer than we are today while the rest of the world swim in gold.

Ok

Honestly do not understand why anyone from the South would want be the president of a country like Nigeria, isn't it obvious that,no matter how sound the person is,he's already positioned to fail. Without true federalism, no one can succeed as the president of Nigeria, this a fact we can never run away from.

Goodluck Jonathan will be the world's biggest fool to accept that Greek gift. To what end? Make a name? Make more money? Save Nigeria? What exactly will make Goodluck Jonathan to ever think of running for president again??
