Fresh indications have emerged that President Goodluck Jonathan will declare his intention to seek a second term in April, consequent upon conclusion of a nationwide consultation on the 2015 presidential poll.
The nationwide consultation reportedly started two weeks ago culminating in the weekend visits to monarchs in the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled states of the South west geo-political zone.
The Director General of the second term campaign will be Ambassador Aminu Wali who was screened by the Senate as a ministerial nominee from Kano Sate last Tuesday.www.9jacona.blogspot.com
Besides, the nomination of former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, to replace an earlier nominee forwarded to the Senate, Hadija Jamilla Salik for screening may be suspended till April, it was learnt.
Wali’s choice, it was further gathered, was mulled as “a stop-gap measure. He would eventually be moved to occupy the DG position, a role played by Nigeria’s High Commissioner to Britain, senator Dalhatu Tafida in the 2011 presidential poll whenever the President makes public his intent to contest for a second term.
Further insight into putting Shekarau’s nomination on hold for now may be influenced by the fact that “both Wali and Shekarau come from the same local government.”
In the event that “the lingering political interests in Niger State” are resolved before Tuesday, Senate may also go ahead with the screening of the state nominee, Niger Asabe Asmau Ahmed. Senate suspended screening of Hadjia Salik and Ahmed, both female nominees, after 10 male ministerial nominees were screened between Wednesday and Thursday last week.
Senate is expected to conclude screening and confirmation of the 12 ministerial nominees today.
