WILL PRESIDENT JONATHAN GOODLUCK OF NIGERIA FOLLOW THE RIGHT POLITICAL PATH IN 2015?

The presidential seat of Nigeria in 2015 is the biggest political prize in the land that can easily threatened the internal peace or cohesion of the Nigerian nation or the corporate existence of its ethnic nationalities. The political ambition of Jonathan Goodluck to seek a second term in 2015 is a politically volatile game and a highly divisive one in nature. This man who is sitting at the helm of the Nigeria's national affairs today has two political options to choose from or two political paths to follow at the moment as the year 2015 draws nearer. 

I will advice President Jonathan Goodluck to personally study the heavily turbulent political history of Nigeria as a student of politics. One practical political alternative that is readily available at the present moment in the history of Nigeria is for President Jonathan Goodluck to decide personally and listen to the words of wisdom and reasoning that are based on the recent accounts of the Nigerian history, the current political crisis inside the PDP and the political realities on the ground across the Nigerian nation in 2013. The second political option for this President is to allow his own personal ambition and strong ego plus the voices of the political opportunists and sycophants that surround him to prevail on him to run again in 2015 for the highest office of the land in Nigeria. 

Finally, President Jonathan Goodluck is not an exemption to the fragile order of the leadership history of Nigeria. General Yakubu Gowon did not keep his promise to return Nigeria to democracy. He lost out in a military takeover of 1975. General Ibrahim Babangida attempted to play the game of hide and seek with Nigerians on the transition from military regime to civilian rule and went ahead to annulled the June 12 presidential election that was won by the late Chief MKO Abiola . The end of this crafty game of deception that IBB played with Nigerians is now in the archives of the Nigerian history. The late General Sanni Abacha also attempted it by trying to change from his military dictatorship position into a civilian leadership, but his sudden death stopped him forever. The former President Olusegun Obasanjo once attempted this political experiment of power elongation or the popular third term agenda that never saw the reality of the day in Nigeria till today
