He took me to his study, where the two of us were alone. I told him the state of the nation had been agitating my mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI asked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/06\/2023-presidency-ibrahim-babangida-rules-out-atiku-tinubu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Babangida<\/a> how can we get out of this logjam that the political heat is too much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalm and resolute, IBB replied: \u2018Femi, advise your friend that when he gets to the council chambers next week for the FEC meeting, he should go and sit on the president\u2019s chair\u2019. I found that fascinating and assured him I would pass the message across. I travelled back to Abuja by road in the evening and went straight to have dinner with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/06\/28\/2023-apc-considering-goodluck-jonathan-as-presidential-candidate-deji-adeyanju-hints\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jonathan<\/a>. I did not waste time in delivering Babangida\u2019s message to him. He nodded and asked me: \u2018What do you think?\u2019 I laughed and said, \u2018Be a man, Your Excellency. Go and sit on that chair\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe looked at me for some time and responded that he would think about it. A week later, on Tuesday, February 9, the National Assembly adopted the famous \u2018Doctrine of Necessity\u2019 to make Jonathan acting president pending the return of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/06\/late-president-yaraduas-son-in-prison-for-allegedly-crushing-4-to-death\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yar\u2019Adua<\/a> from his medical leave. Behind-the-scene moves by prominent Nigerians preceded this decision. The legislative resolution was unprecedented but the nation had been tensed up. The fault lines were so stoked that an unusual solution was needed to address the unique situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith Jonathan now legally empowered to act as president, there remained the critical optics: would he stand-in for the president confidently and authoritatively? Or would he try to maintain a subdued outlook? The following day was the FEC meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Jonathan entered the council chamber, he made to sit on the chair of the vice president, his usual seat. As the protocol officer pulled out the chair, Jonathan marched towards the seat reserved for the president. And he sat on it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the moment Jonathan took control of power. By that act, he sent a strong signal to all Nigerians that he was now in charge. The same day, Jonathan even reshuffled the cabinet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola has revealed what former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida asked him to tell ex-President Goodluck Jonathan when his former boss, Umaru Yar\u2019Ardua was sick in 2010.
