Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau.Other than that he's pretty useless as the Boko Haram debacle shows..

The N2.2 billion paid to the holy mans is different from the $2.1billion arms fund for which former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd.), is currently standing trial.
According to The Nation, the monies for the prayer was disbursed through the Office of the NSA as proposed by Baba-Kusa.
These revelations were contained in a statement of witness/caution by Baba-Kusa himself and filed in the high court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Baba-Kusa, Dasuki and three others (Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited (owned by Baba-Kusa) and a former director of finance in ONSA, Shuaibu Salisu, are standing trial before the FCT High Court.
The NNPC director confessed that the money was spent on prayers to hasten the defeat of the krazed killers, and that it was released in two tranches of N1,450,000,000 and N750,000,000, adding that the proposal was verbal.
"I approached the former NSA and discussed Boko Haram problems and I suggested there is need for prayers and he considered and accepted in 2013 when he first came to office.
"I personally sponsored many people locally and some few to Saudi Arabia. Some monies were later paid into our companies, which we paid to some of the mallams.
"I then arranged to recover my personal expense which I put into our own businesses.
