2015: Not Amaechi Or ACF But God Through Good Works

[Shola Sholaz]

PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan has come of full age in the politics of survival. He seems to have learnt all the tricks in the kitty of political manipulation.
.
He now knows how to apply the brake of any fast moving political vehicle when he is not even in the driver's seat. He has been fully baptised into the inner chamber of this game of manipulation and permutation, which partisan politics stands for.
.
Looking backwards, however, I dare say that the man knew little of this game-play when he emerged as Vice President in 2007. Nor can it be justifiably concluded that it was his knowledge of the political terrain that threw him up as the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces after the demise of his predecessor.
