Kenai:
The difference between Jonathan and Obasanjo?

One, after serving his tenure, has simply returned to his quiet life, accepting the will of the masses and understanding that politics is not worth the blood of the masses. He may have his shortcomings (which he never denied), but he understands the reality on ground that taking cheap shots at your successor's flaws is not a sign of superiority. He has simply wished the country success and moved on with his life.

...And the other?
Despite the numerous big fraud scandals that can be traced DIRECTLY to his name (Halliburton, Siemens, missing oil vessels, Econet scam, National Library scam) this old but immature gorilla has still refused to leave the podium and act like a decent statesman. The same fool behind the blatant electoral frauds in 2003 and 2007 never missed a chance to take cheap shots at his successor like he could ever hold a candle against them.
The same creature under whose administration Sharia was legalized in a secular country, had the audacity to come in front of a camera and rip his party membership card apart, all to the morronic applause from the ever gullible simpletons known as masses.
The same "do or die" politician has refused to respect the wrinkles on his fat, ugly, saggy body and go take a rest for good.
Whispers from the grapevine even suggest he's fielding some personal candidates for appointment under the new government.
Agadi nwoke n'enweghi ihere. Shameless old man who couldn't even handle his scattered household but could draft an 18-page letter to the president, trying to sound like a saint.
Alas... He is but a hypocritical attention-seeking agbaya.
Happy Sunday! tongue

Jonathan was demonized on his early treatment of this vampires not to offend the northern power brokers.

Until six weeks before the election that he realized that you cannot please this power mongers, but alas it was too late for Jonathan.

Buhari campaign centered majorly on fighting insecurity and corruption.



Today is 38 days of his government

The death toll per day is increasing, now approximately 1,000 killed in just 36 Days. i.e. 28 death per day.

At this rate if nothing is done urgently, the death toll will surpass the records of the past 5 years.

Fellow Nigerians, is this the CHANGE you expecthuh

The Walls Are Beginning to Crack...

PoliticsCrack In APC Widens: Buhari, Tinubu Disagree On Way Forward by Firefire(op):
Sunday Vanguard was reliably informed by Presidency sources, yesterday, that part of the reasons for the seeming prolonged process of resolving the crisis in the All Progressives Congress, APC, may be the slightly differing positions of President Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, regarded as a leader and financier of the party.

Specifically, the sources disclosed that the Friday NEC meeting of the party “brought to the open the seeming centrifugal positions of Mr. President and Asiwaju.”

One of the sources added: “At the meeting between the governors and the warring parties that followed the APC NEC parley, Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, was mandated to chair a committee of three that would come up with possible resolutions to the crisis.

BUHARI’S POSITION

“It was an open discussion at the NEC meeting that whereas Mr. President has consistently expressed his dissatisfaction at the truncation of the party’s procedure for the emergence of the leaders of the National Assembly, the position he has since taken has been one of reconciliation and not outright antagonism to the leadership of the National Assembly.”

Sunday Vanguard was told that Tinubu’s position, which had been misconstrued in many quarters as antagonistic, was merely a reflection of the need to enforce party supremacy at all times.

One of the arrowheads of the Tinubu group told Sunday Vanguard: “Asiwaju is not being rigid. He just believes it is not proper to kick off a government on a note of disobedience to party position by members of the National Assembly. It sends a wrong signal”.

WHAT TINUBU WANTED

Investigations into how the Friday meeting of the APC NEC went the way it did suggest that whereas Tinubu gave some conditions, those opposed to him ensured that his position did not hold.

For instance, it was gathered that one of the conditions put forward by the former governor of Lagos State was that both Senate President Abubakar Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara “should not be invited to the meeting”.

A top APC member privy to the happenings in the ruling party told Sunday Vanguard: “”The second condition he put forward was that in the event that the two leaders of the National Assembly were invited, they should be made to commit to an apology letter to the party.”

That way, it was learnt, it would be on record that both men went against the grain of their political party.

“Unfortunately”, the top party leader said, “none of these could be achieved.

“And you should understand. This is a time when members of the party should engage a cohesive mode rather than one that would alienate more members. It is bad enough that we already have a crisis on our hands. To further entrench positions would not be in the interest of the party.”

BUHARI LOYALISTS TAG WITH ATIKU


Sunday Vanguard was to further learn that already, “there is a groundswell of coalition between some party faithful loyal to President Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar”.

The source went on: “Mind you”, it is not for the love of Atiku. But it is gradually becoming imperative that whoever within the party that would attempt to ring-fence the President with people that would become malleable should be checked”.

Indeed, it was discovered that when APC’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie Oyegun, held talks with the President, last week, the fears of the former were assuaged by the latter on the insinuation that he (Oyegun) could lose his position following his acceptance of the emergence of Saraki and Dogara as Senate President and House Speaker.

“In fact, Mr. President told our party Chairman not to lose sleep; that the rumours about his possible removal from office can never happen”.

Sunday Vanguard was told that that was why the party reposed a vote of confidence in its Chairman at the Friday NEC meeting..

ISSUE OF PARTY SUPREMACY

However, one very thorny issue within the embattled APC remains the definition of the leadership as occasioned by the new mantra of supremacy.

It would be recalled that, penultimate week, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, issued a statement stating that Tinubu was the National Leader of the party; the ink on the paper which carried the statement had not dried before the Presidency issued a counter statement insisting that Buhari remains the leader of the party, without prejudice to whatever contributions made by those who were the founding leaders.

Privately, some of the leaders of the party, who are obviously not on the same page with Tinubu, like Saraki; former Governors Danjuma Goje,Sani Yerima, Kabiru Gaya; and former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh; as well as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are said not to be comfortable with the connotation that presently exists on the term, PARTY SUPREMACY.

Sunday Vanguard was told by a Tinubu loyalist – and correctly so – that the issue of party supremacy, as espoused by the former Lagos governor and Buhari, is good for the growth of the APC.

Verily, in the event that the APC takes a “position, that position should be binding on all”, the Tinubu loyalist insisted.

However, other leaders of the APC are insisting on the need for the party hierarchy to define the concept of party supremacy.

At the Friday APC NEC meeting, the issue could not be discussed because of what a source described as “some sensibilities that were not to be ruffled”.

The growing consensus among party leaders across the three divides – Buhari, Tinubu and Atiku – is the need for the party to quickly determine “who and what constitute party supremacy which would be codified”

BOT CHAIRMANSHIP: THE FIRE NEXT TIME

The ruling party may be heading for another round of crisis in the contest for who becomes its Board of Trustees, BoT, Chairman.

Whereas it was a known “fact that Tinubu, while lobbying Atiku to support Senator Ahmed Lawan for the Senate presidency, with a possible pledge to assist Atiku clinch the BoT slot, some loyalists of Tinubu are now proposing that he should become the BoT Chairman”, a party source told Sunday Vanguard, “but that may be a far shot because Oyegun is from the South and appointing another person from the South to be BoT Chair, would not be fair. In fact, that was why Oyegun’s job was in jeopardy because it was part of a grand agenda”.

But this argument may not hold water because Buhari is from the North just as Atiku is also from the North.
