It unAfrican to speak evil of the dead. However, late President Umaru Yar'adua selected Goodluck Jonathan as his VP but soon after inauguration, relegated him as though he did not exist. His presidency witnessed the first use of the term CABAL in democratic era. His pretty wife Turai Yar'adua was highly influential and powerful. VP Jonathan was so irrelevant in state affairs that Chief James Ibori was the one who was consulted on Niger Delta matters. (Here lies the main reason for Jonathan's vendetta against James Ibori, which drove him into exile in Dubai from where he was extradited, by order of Dubai court, to UK for his trial and imprisonment.)

Even when it was obvious that the sick President Yar'adua was on life-support machine in faraway Saudi Arabian hospital, the CABAL led by first lady Turai Yar'adua, Dahiru Mangal, Abba Ruma, and Babagana Kingibe shut out VP Jonathan from government. It took street protests from Nigerians organized by Save Nigeria Group led by Pastor Tunde Bakare, the bold speech of late amazon Mrs. Dora Akunyili at FEC meeting, even when able-bodied men lost their voice, for the Senate led by David Mark to act decisively to save Nigeria from constitutional crisis by adopting Doctrine of Necessity to empower Jonathan as acting President.

The rest of the story forms interesting part of Nigerian history.

Rest in Peace, Umaru Yar'adua!

You have written well.
