I think the most difficult post in politics is that of Vice - TopicsExpress



          

I think the most difficult post in politics is that of Vice President or Deputy Governor. I marvel at the way VP Sambo relates with President Jonathan. It reminds me of how Ekwueme related with Shagari or how Biden relates with Obama. It is worse if you are more educated, or older or presumably more intelligent or more expressive than your principal. If you try to assert yourself, it is seen as having a hidden agenda or being too ambitious. You must not outshine your principal. You must not nurse any political ambition except he supports it. You must not try to wield some political power or groom any political base. You have to show total loyalty to him in private and in public. And you have to contend with the rumours people will be taking to him about you. Your wife must not outshine the first lady or contend with her. If your principal is an egoist or an insecure person, then you are in double trouble.
