of honour in Jesus’ coming kingdom, the same way a Vice President went to inform his
boss of his desire to take over from him in 2023. The reactions emanating from such
request is going to be a frown face from the other disciples who are probably angry
because James and John were the first to make such request. And on the other hand,
the Vice President’s political godfather and presidential hopeful would remark that none
of his sons is grown enough to declare for president. The resultant effect of the
foregoing drama will be a sharp division within the disciples and the ruling party’s camp;
with arguments and counter arguments being laid down for the latter that the Vice
President was not right to have declared for that office, or he was, knowing fully that his
godfather was equally eyeing the same position. This is going to become a tug of war, if
the situation is not properly handled by Jesus and the Nigerian president. The two
leaders’ responses are therefore going to ensure that their camp remains united and not
broken. This paper will thus seek to use the approach of Jesus and the Nigerian
President in handling the issue of power tussle/succession to address the problem of
conflict in succession from different aspects of national life, be it the monarchy, church,
government, education and family. The work will adopt histo-critical and comparative
method of enquiry as well as make use of the media and other relevant literature to
carry out the research.
