A MAJOR confrontation is brewing between the Lt. General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) led Presidential Advisory Committee, PAC and former President Olusegun Obasanjo over what is considered as the latter’s undue pressure on President Goodluck Jonathan on who becomes the nation’s Vice President.
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is said to be pilling pressure on President Jonathan to look in the direction of Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State and Alhaji Muktar Shagari, the Deputy governor of Sokoto State.
This move, according to impeccable sources is seen by Danjuma and others like the former Chairman of Peoples’ Democratic Party, Chief Audu Ogbe as distracting the President from concentrating on his national assignment.

Suleiman Umar Kofar-Naisa The confrontation between the two ex- generals is, indeed, an indication that the patriotic Nigerians are moving too slow to impact influence on our public and political affairs. Who gave these ex-generals, former leaders if we may, the right to decide who will be who in Nigeria? And, as for the individuals they oppositely would like to support, why do they think they are the most qualified among the rest of us? “Political Leadership-Excellence-Genes” are not in blood, hence relationship to former this and ex-that is not a prerequisite, and shouldn’t be. Despite their military orientation, the former respected general should know that, their self-assigned “King-makers’s Role” is undemocratic. It would be in their best interest to simply move back into their “world-paradise-farms” and enjoy the fruits therein – forbidden or otherwise. Patriotic Citizens must wake up to their responsibilities by using all the democratic tools they (we) are rightly entitled to. Regards.
