PDP Insider Confesses: Jonathan is Truly Afraid of Buhari

A top member of the Peoples Democratic Party has revealed that the claims made recently by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo that President Goodluck Jonathan is afraid that Muhammadu Buhari might jail him if he gets into power is real and they all know.

According to PUNCH, a meeting which might hold outside the country was to establish rapport between the two contenders before the election. A source close to the Presidency said, “We are trying to broker a meeting between the two leaders. The way the presidential electioneering is going may create serious divisions among Nigerians. We need to stop this.

“Apart from this, I think there is serious apprehension in the camp of the President that if Buhari wins, he’s going to jail a lot of President Jonathan’s supporters for alleged corruption...

“This is one of the issues that is causing serious tension in the camp of the President and we also need to make sure that in whatever we do, there must be peace in the country.”

It was learnt that the claim by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that Jonathan was afraid that Buhari could jail him was real after all.

Another PDP man disclosed that Jonathan's fears is a fact that could not be denied by the Presidency.

He said, “You have listened to the press conference by our campaign office and we didn’t deny that aspect. But we dealt with other issues.

“That statement by former President Obasanjo is real. It is true and we all know that. But we know that very soon, the meeting which we are hearing is being coordinated by some concerned leaders, might address that.”
