OBASANJO ABANDONS REBEL GOVERNORS MIDSTREAM?

"No President, no matter his perceived weakness, would stand and watch a body of governors test his resolve. Seek ways of reconciling with Jonathan if you don't want rougher days ahead." - Olusegun Obasanjo to visiting seven nPDP rebel governors. 

Icheoku says at last 'Jonathan don begin dey laugh.' 

This manoeuvre is atypical of Obasanjo whose cunning ability is so legendary that some people describe him as the Fox of Ota. Obasanjo instigated the current rebellion against Jonathan with his speech at Dutse urging Governor Sule Lamido to move against President Jonathan's 2015 second term ambition. Now like the army man he is, sensing that the steam is out and that the rebellious train is sputtering to a sudden stop if not a crash, he has made a sudden U-turn and is now telling the same rascals he pushed into starting a fight with their "chi"(gods) to go do the unthinkable - leak their spittle? Icheoku asks how can people like Kwankwaso, Wamako, Amaechi and Lamido in particular now go genuflecting and prostrating before the president when they have been delusional for too long that they are winning the battle of will for the soul of PDP and Nigerians? Icheoku knows that Aliyu is a more pragmatic and more seasoned politician and would do the needful when facing a real cliffhanger situation. As for Nyako and the other guy at Kwara State's government house in Ilorin, they are ordinary fish fingerings and have little or no clout either way. Those two can be easily thrown under the bus for all Icheoku cares.

Icheoku says if any time ever called for President Jonathan to aggressively and ruthlessly move against these seven rascals, now is the time as they are all standing on very quick sand and will easily be uprooted and thrown into political abyss and irrelevance. Their godfather Obasanjo has disavowed them and there is nobody out there to come to their aid should they be fired from the PDP with immediate effect. Imagine ordinary state governors wagging their finger at the face of a sitting Nigerian Executive President with all his unlimited powers including that of the purse as well as countless security operatives and ethnic militia waiting for the marching orders? Icheoku says 'we dey watch' to see what finally becomes of these rascals and how their political graveyards will be marked or left unmarked. What unthinking jerks these rebel governors so called are, who mistook President Jonathan's very calculating demeanor to mean weakness; aided by their abiding faith that Obasanjo will always get their backs. Now they know better, admitted the hard way, never to trust some people from certain parts of the country to stand resolute as agreed because when push comes to shove they will always do a Peter on you.
