Jonathan Secretly Moves Against Amaechi, Babangida, Others

It is now a case of fight to finish between President Goodluck Jonathan and his supporters on one hand and a group of seven governors who are behind the formation of the New PDP, the G-7 governors.

The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party is set to take a turn for the worse as the Presidency and the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Bala Mohammed, intensify actions against “rebel” governors and anyone who is perceived as loyal to them.

Jonathan's new battle strategy is to make sure Governor Rotimi Amaechi is forced to beg him and accept to support his ambition to remain in office in 2015 since Amaechi controls one of the richest states.

The Presidency is already compiling names of all members of the New PDP who are still holding government appointment and ensure they are sacked, just the way 9 ministers where sacked without reason.

They also want to use the FCT Minister to revoke all landed properties belonging to Governor Amaechi and Babangida Aliyu, among others, in the federal capital, to ensure they don't have a place to meet in Abuja.

Already, one of the seven governors in New PDP, Rabiu Kwakwanso of Kano State, had a choice piece of land allocated to him in Maitama District, Abuja, revoked on Saturday by the FCT Administration.

According to Punch, a source in the Presidency revealed that Baraje, who is the chairman of the Board of the Nigerian Railway Corporation, would soon lose the job.

But members of the New PDP have vowed to fight on, saying intimidation and blackmail will not make them abandon the welfare of Nigerians by allowing the Presidency to spend Nigeria's money without asking them relevant questions, as those in Aso Rock are currently doing.
