According to a BBC News post from Wednesday, March 24th, 2010, titled "Goodluck Jonathan's cabinet choices surprises Nigeria" Acting president Jonathan has offered several choices to the Senate for approval to ministerial positions, including a banker from the investment firm Goldman Sachs. This is one week after he fired all of President Yar'Adua's Cabinet, of which only 9 have made it back on to his list of nominees. This list also includes a nephew of Mr. Yar'Adua, which might be a conciliatory gesture to the President, or simply to groom him for higher office. This move has been seen by Analysts to be a message that Jonathan is in charge, and that he wants to run for president at some point in the future. However, The PDP continues on it's stance that it is only proper that the North have their full 8 years.
This sort of situation brings us to the concepts of Sovereignty. With Jonathan in power, he has the right to fire whoever he wants, but the messages that he sends with such dismissals may take him head to head with the PDP, and as such, he might split off from the Party.
