The self-centered desire of the Nigerian politicians to control the political power and the wealth of the Nigerian nation through the 2015 elections is the primary driving force that is behind all the new political alignments, realignments and the public letters that Nigerians are now witnessing almost on the daily basis. The G-5 former PDP governors, Abubakar Atiku and their political followers saw no way forward for the realization of their political ambition in the PDP which is now firmly under the full control of President Jonathan Goodluck and Bamanga Tukur.
This new political reality then forced them to move into the APC as their only political alternative to stay relevant. Mr. Bola Tinubu, General Muhammadu Buhari and their followers want power at the center of Nigeria in 2015 beyond their present regional political limitations that make the APC to now become the political party of all Dick and every Harry in 2013.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the uncrowned presidential kingmaker of Nigeria and the PDP suddenly woke up from his deep political slumber to suddenly discovered that he had finally lost the firm control of the remaining PDP to Jonathan Goodluck and his supporters. This political surprises have now forced Olusegun Obasanjo to only one political option of letter writing to President Jonathan Goodluck and his fellow Nigerians since APC is a no-go-area for him politically. All these political developments in Nigeria in 2013 are not designed by these politicians to move the Nigerian nation forward or to directly make the life of the 160 million suffering Nigerians better in 2015 and beyond.
