It is really interesting and unusual to see how things are unfolding on the political landscape in Nigeria. In whatever way it has happened Dr Goodluck Ebelo Jonathan has bested Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to climb the platform of the People's Democratic Party's flagbearer in the next Presidential elections in April.
That win redefines so many unspoken myths as to where power lies and who ultimately possesses it. Where former understandings concerning geopolitical rotation have held sway, based upon a select set of individual choosing how things should be. We are witnessing the death knell of that very understanding now.
What lies ahead now is going to be watched by several power centres all over the nation very carefully. it is almost a forgone conclusion as to where the elections of April are going to end up. But what I wish to really ask is " Have the North come a cropper?" Its to early to give an answer to that question yet, but it is a telling understanding that more than a party nomination was won and lost at Eagle Square.
