Those in political class don't engage in unnecessary fight. They settle scores and do what benefits them.
That being said, Jonathan being El-Rufai's running mate is disasterous and there's no hope of light at the end of the tunnel for Nigeria.

This better remain a rumour.

Sheik Gumi said it's okay for fulani herdsmen to carry guns.

Bashir Ahmaad now has a lucrative role in the oil industry.

No jokes but this is just taking us all for a ride and they want to use Jonathan/El-Rufai to tell us to calm down?
It's time to fix this for God and country

I repeat: “I’m a Jonathanian & unapologetic about it.” But if the rumor of a possible Goodluck Ebele Jonathan & El-Rufai ticket is true; “I will not only dissociate myself from the Jonathanian movement, I will campaign vigorously against him.

GEJ should enjoy his life, quietly.”

Drafting of his Excellency @GEJonathan to run with El-rufai will fail like a pack of cards. It's plan to return the north, by extension Fulani to power in 2027, to the exclusion of other nationalities, after 8 yrs of Buhari. It's a plan to use GEJ to achieve this and he knows it.

Dear @GEJonathan

Becoming a running mate with El-Rufai under the banner of APC is an Image suicide.

Be warned.

If GEJ agrees to run a joint ticket with El-Rufai, then he's not the man we thought him to be. May that ticket loss. Let the opposition win.
