In his eleventh-hour strategy, President Goodluck Jonathan has resolved to use his kinsmen to appeal to the conscience of influential Nigerians, especially those of northern extraction, to reconsider him for re-election, a reliable source has disclosed.
The source, who pleaded anonymity, listed some of his strategies to include a proxy visit to the Sultan, emirs, most of the first-class chiefs and religious leaders, including Imams and pastors from the north.
LEADERSHIPreliably gathered yesterday that a respected monarch and a kinsman of the president, alongside Sokoto State deputy governor, Mukhtar Shehu Shagari, secretly visited the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubkar III, in his palace.
Jonathan’s kinsman, who arrived Sokoto with a presidential jet, headed straight for the Sultan’s palace where they held a closed-door meeting.
Details of the meeting could not be ascertained at the time of filing this report. However, a source within the palace said it was not be unconnected with the president’s re-election bid.
Deputy Governor Shagari is the coordinator of Jonathan’s campaign in the state.
Efforts to get further details from security officials at the airport did not yield positive results at the time of filing this report. Some of them claimed ignorance of the visit.
Efforts to get Sultan’s response were equally futile as those who should ordinarily be in the know denied being aware of such visit.http://leadership.ng/news/411233/general-elections-jonathan-kinsmen-lobby-sultan
