Were Obasanjo for Nigeria, Jonathan would never have ruled Nigeria in the first place. In 2006 when Obasanjo chose him for Vice-President, he was unqualified, unprepared, and facing a corruption indictment. Obasanjo is for Obasanjo, and that is what must be understood in the current situation. Obasanjo knows that politically, Jonathan has run his full course and cannot win in 2015. He is also propelled by such people as Tukur and Tony Anenih whom Obasanjo simply loathes. Obasanjo knows that as a product, Jonathan would be not be as sellable as he might have been in 2011 when he enjoyed Obasanjo’s support. He would thus readily be defeated by a robust opponent from a hostile party who could be sending the party’s legion of thieves to jail by the bus load every afternoon. By “opposing” Jonathan, Obasanjo is using smoke and mirrors to position himself to determine who the next President will be: another puppet the principal task of whom will be to keep the kleptocracy well protected.
