“Yar’Adua mistrusted Jonathan, believed Jonathan was waiting for him to die”–--- Says Dora Akunyili.

Prof Dorothy Nkem Akunyili, the former Federal Minister for Information and Communication for Nigeria under the presidency of the then President Umaru Yar'Adua [May His Soul Rest in Peace] who recently contested for a senatorial seat for the central district of Anambra State under the political party of the All Progressive Grand Alliance [APGA] and failed – is reported in a recent release by Wikileaks to have espoused the private views of the then President towards his Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan – in a private midnight telephone chat with the American Ambassador to Nigeria, Robin Renee Sanders.

Prof Akunyili had sought the audience of the American Ambassador to vent concerning the "real mess" Nigeria finds herself as a result of the uncertainty over the ill health of the then President Umaru Yar'Adua who was at the time admitted to a hospital in Saudi Arabia. Prof Akunyili related to the American Ambassador that the then President never had a good relationship with Goodluck Jonathan -that Yar'Adua mistrusted Jonathan – that he believed Jonathan was waiting for him to die – so he could take over.

Prof Dora Akunyili who told the American Ambassador that she made sure she was not using her "government phone" expressed that Goodluck Jonathan was confused on what do. She stated that Goodluck Jonathan did not want to send the wrong signal to the north.
