Jonathan, Obasanjo and Amaechi Reconciles- The Sun
The Sunnews reports that President Jonathan, Former President Obasanjo and the Governor of Rivers state Chibuike Amaechi have reconciled even if it is for the camera, hmmmm.
The trio were seen together at the council of state meeting which held yesterday May 12th at the Presidential villa.
Before the commencement of the Council meeting, the governors across party divide were seen joking, back slapping one another and discussing in groups.
President Jonathan was also seen laughing, shaking and holding hands with Obasanjo.
But the one that caught everyone’s attention was when the President, while waiting for the valedictory photo-session at the fore court of the Presidential Villa, had a handshake with the governors around him, and on sighting Amaechi, playfully hit him severally, with his fist on the shoulder and the Rivers State governor bowed, laughing and holding the President’s hand all the while, saying “Your Excellency.”
A journalist later asked Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State how the attitude of the politicans towards one another at the meeting could be translated to the common man on the street, and he replied:
“I told you that one of the former heads of state moved for all these to be recorded, so that we make it as part of the tradition. Politics is not war.
Yes, there is a price, but the moment there is a decision and someone gets the price, everyone should come back and wait for another chance.
“So, the camaraderie that you noticed, is how it should be and we should send it down to our communities, to our people; so that even in one house, you can afford to vote for different parties but the moment results are announced, you will remain brothers and not enemies.”
