President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday continued consultations on his political direction in Lagos in meetings with stakeholders and solicitations for prayers for the country from religious leaders.
In a surprising development, the president, however, left regional leaders of his party out of the consultations as many of them expressed surprise on the president’s business in the nation’s commercial capital city.
The president’s efforts to woo support for his political future in the south was also being helped in the north by efforts by the new national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Alhaji Adamu Mu‘azu to break the ranks of the opposition in the north as represented by All Progressives Congress, APC.
The president’s consultations in Lagos yesterday commenced after the morning church service in a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, where the general overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye presided. Following the church service, the president retired to State House, Marina where he met with different stakeholders. Details of the meetings and persons were, however, shielded from newsmen.
