Sir,

So they really want to kill Jonathan

It beats one’s imagination that for accepting to make Nigeria come out of its doldrums created by the ailing President Yar’Adua’s indisposition, the acting President Goodluck Jonathan now becomes the target for elimination by a cabal.

It is no more news that an ex-governor of one of the Niger Delta states has been fingered by the acting President’s sources as the arrowhead of the devilish planners. Nigerian Tribune newspaper of last week was the first to alert the nation that Jonathan’s life was in danger. The acting President himself thereafter accused a cabal of launching all forms of attacks and plans against him, all aimed at giving the wrong impression that he is not capable.

Apart from the ex-militants warning those behind the plan, the south-south elders, including Chief Edwin Clarke and retired Admiral Akhigbe, have also raised such warning. They have threatened that the Niger Delta area would go separate way should anything untoward happen to the acting President and his government on account of the evil plans.

The identity of this south-south state ex-governor (arrowhead) of the anti-Jonathan stance is becoming clearer with each passing day but the antics applied by those against the acting government are being exposed and very soon their efforts would wane. All one is saying is; they should allow peace to reign in this country.
