YES HE DID: President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday dozed off several times at the mini-convention of the Peoples Democratic Party at Eagles Square, Abuja, where several governors elected on the party’s ticket walked out on him to join a political group led by former Vice President Abubakar Atiku.
Meanwhile, reports from our correspondent at the venue of the convention described Mr. Jonathan as looking completely stunned by the developments.
The president sat alone talking to himself and shaking his head several times without anyone coming to his aid.
Even those who sat close to Mr. Jonathan, like the party’s divisive national chairman, Bamanga Tukur, and Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State did not utter a single word of consolation to the forlorn-looking President.
Vice President Namadi Sambo simply looked away as the party that brought them to power was being torn to pieces.
For the first time since the formation of the party, most hired delegates left the Eagles Square even before voting started.
Many of the stands were near empty as a significant number of the delegates followed their governors out of the venue of the convention with Mr. Jonathan looking on helplessly AND SLEEPY TOO.
