2015 Election: President Jonathan Vs OBJ Again Battles For Supremacy

2015 Election: President Jonathan Vs OBJ Again Battles For Supremacy
28 April 2014
There are strong indications that President Goodluck Jonathan and former president Olusegun Obasanjo are engaged in a fresh battle for supremacy ahead of the forthcoming 2015 elections.
Both men have had a strained relationship and Obasanjo's open letter aggravated the war between them.

This time the political war seems to be coming from Obasanjo's south-west area where most of his political aides and associates have reportedly launched a campaign for the opposition party, All Progressives Congress (APC).
Recall that over the weekend, top Stakeholders associated with the former president defected from the PDP to the APC.
A reliable PDP source revealed that Obasanjo's men are making moves in the states of the south-west especially ahead of the governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun in June and August respectively and the Presidency is aware of this.
"We were confronted with strong pieces of evidence that these men have been holding nocturnal meetings with APC leaders, especially governors in the south-west, with a view to voting against the PDP, and we had to return to the drawing board. We are ready to confront anyone with facts and figures that Obasanjo’s men are on the field campaigning for the governors of Ekiti and Osun; we can confidently say that, in Ogun, the former president prefers to have an Amosun than a PDP governor; and his men are on the field doing this covertly,” the source said.
Not ready to take chances, the President and leadership of the PDP have also launched a counter-move which will checkmate and his men from from launching their anti-party project in the South-west.
In the new move spear-headed by the president’s strategists, especially some senior members of the party’s elite caucus, the Board of Trustees (BoT), Ondo State governor Dr Olusegun Mimiko and former Oyo State governor Rasheed Ladoja have come under intense pressure to return to their former party, PDP.
Howver, Mimiko and Ladoja who both belong to Labour Party (LP) have said that the Ondo State governor will not dump his party for PDP, even though they support Jonathan's second term bid.
