At the demise of Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, machinations were
designed by evil designing men to deny then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan
from assuming office as President as provided by the constitution of Nigeria.
They were ready to either thwart the constitution or have the late President
run the country as a late but sitting President.
Shortly after Goodluck Jonathan was confirmed President
by the moribund National Assembly which waited until we were about to be
plunged into crisis or until they were visited by bags of money in dollars or
euro, the talk rent the air that he must not attempt to contest the 2011
presidential elections.
Of course, President Goodluck Jonathan contested the
elections and was declared winner. Instead of congratulatory messages, the
trouble makers started again to agitate that he should not contest the 2015
elections.
