It is not easy to get President Olusegun Obasanjo to work for incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan again after he was deceived in 2011 to believe that Jonathan won't contest in 2015 if he was supported to become the PDP presidential flag-bearer for the then 2011 general elections.
Obasanjo even said it openly that Jonathan has agreed not to contest in 2015. See Evidence HERE
But from all indications, President Jonathan want to have his cake and still eat same. He send about seven PDP governors to the Abeokuta hilltop residence of ex-President Obasanjo to beg him to forgive and work for his re-election in the critical 2015 presidential election against the APC.
Two of the governors, Liyel Imoke of Cross River State and Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, arrived Obasanjo’s residence at 12.55pm and swiftly moved into the house with strong faces...
The identity of some of the governors could not be confirmed as the registration numbers of their cars were covered. But a close aide of Obasanjo confirmed that all the governors were from the PDP and that they came to plead with him not to abandon Jonathan now that his support is highly needed.
In a chat with PM News, Obasanjo's aide said, “Throughout last night Baba Obasanjo met with us to discuss the visit by the PDP governors and the position to take. Baba pointedly told us that he remains a staunch member of PDP and that he was not fighting anybody but cannot accept an indicted fellow to be his leader.”
The governors were said to have begged Obasanjo to stop supporting the APC indirectly as his support is said to be giving the leading opposition party some high confidence of victory in 2015.
