Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan is facing a crisis within his party centered around his assumed intention to run for another term in the 2015 election. His critics say it would violate an unwritten rule that power should rotate between the largely Muslim north and Christian south every two terms. VOA's Vincent Makori reports and gets a more perspective on the political re-alignments in Nigeria, from Sylvester Okere, Chairman of the Maryland-Nigeria sister state executive committee.
