The grudge between President Goodluck Jonathan, former president Olusegun Obasanjo and the Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi seem to have have been subdued on Tuesday, in the last Council of State meeting hosted by President Jonathan, the convergence compelled an irresistible situation for the three men to reconcile in front of camera crew, despite speculations of it being a gambit.
Before the commencement of the Council meeting, the governors across party divide were seen jesting, back slapping one another and discussing in groups.
Obasanjo has been a constant critic of Jonathan's administration, the latest being in February, when the elections were postponed. The former president, had at his Hilltop Mansion residence in Abeokuta, likened the politics played by Jonathan to "the do-or-die" politics played by the former President of Cote d'Ivoire, Laurent Gbagbo. President Jonathan had in a swift reaction, fired back, stating the allegations as baseless and preposterous.
Obasanjo had also in an 18-page letter a year ago, accused the President of deceit, deception, dishonesty, incompetence, having a killer squad and clannishness among others.
