SaharaReporters sources revealed that contrary to what is being touted in public, Jonathan has secretly cobbled together a team of strategists and manipulators that include “Mr. Fix-It” Chief Anthony Anenih and Jerry Gana, with the objective of putting together a blueprint for one-time 7-year tenure for Jonathan as soon as the elections are over in April 2011.

The plan, which is akin to the third term campaign by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2006-2007, will be bankrolled from excess campaign funds now being generated.

Jonathan had told a delegation of the Save Nigeria Group (SNG) led by Pastor Tunde Bakare that he was opposed to elections every four years, claiming that it was too expensive.

As of last week, some governors that had “come on board” had been persuaded with the argument they would also benefit from the 7-year tenure project.

A close source to Jonathan said the governors, who were fooled by his "meekness" during a NEC meeting of the PDP last week, disclosed that Jonathan would roast them as soon as he wins the 2011 election and that all of them would be in for a shocker from a man believed is as vindictive as his mentor, former president Obasanjo.
