The information has to do with Obasanjo's latest move to partner with three top retired Generals in the North to back the opposition mega party APC if Jonathan refused to step down...
OluFamous, Obasanjo and others had supported Jonathan, who would have spent a total of about 6years in office by 2015, on the "believe" that power would return to the North by 2015.
Afraid that if Obasanjo, Gen Ibrahim Babangida and Gen T.Y. Danjuma should join forces with Bola Tinubu and Gen Muhammadu Buhari in the APC, PDP will be defeated, President Jonathan has been trying to get the attention of his benefactor, Chief Obasanjo.
Consequently, OluFamous, he dispatched Governor Akpadio, who is known to be a loyal boy to Obasanjo, after he helped him become governor, to plead with him to reconsider.
At the secret meeting in Abuja, it was learnt that Akpabio begged Obasanjo to "forgive and forget", pleading with him to support Jonathan’s second term bid in 2015.
Akpabio also urged Obasanjo to intervene in the crises rocking PDP governors, because if allowed to fester the situation can affect the PDP's chances in 2015, should Obasanjo remain with the party.
But Obasanjo is known to be pushing for Governor Sule Lamido as a replacement for Jonathan on the platform of the PDP and Lamido was one of the four PDP governors that visited Governor Rotimi Amaechi in Port Harcourt this week, on solidarity mission.
Obasanjo actually listened to Akpabio, but he refused to make any commitments since it was Jonathan who had choose to keep away from him.
OluFamous, Obasanjo told Akpabio to keep watching as the political events take shape, but warned him to note that he has not promised to support Jonathan.
