President Jonathan Sends Frontline PDP Governors To Beg, Obasanjo

According to sahara reporters "president Goodluck Jonathan, who last week bragged that he was a better leader than Olusegun Obasanjo and every Nigerian leader since independence, today sent a powerful delegation to the former president to plead support for his re-election bid. 

Obasanjo had described Jonathan’s presidency as below “average,” and that the “head” [of the government] was “rotten.”His delegation to Obasanjo’s Hilltop mansion in Abeokuta today included governors Liyel Imoke of Cross River State, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Sule Lamido of Jigawa, Babangida Aliyu of Niger and Isah Yuguda of Bauchi State.

When they emerged from a closed door meeting, Obasanjo told the media that they had only discussed the insecurity in the country.

However, SaharaReporters learnt that the governors, who were protégés of Obasanjo during his tenure, had been asked to visit the former president to beg the former leader to tone down his opposition to Mr. Jonathan.

Following Obasanjo’s hard-hitting “Before It Is Too Late” letter to Mr. Jonathan last December, the former leader has in the past few months stepped up his attacks, underlining the corrupt nature of Mr. Jonathan's regime. 

So much drama in Nigerian politics. I think we should grab a bag of popcorn and watch the movie.
