President Jonathan A Wrong President At The Very Wrong Time

November 11, 2014

Mr. President, we know you are trying to teach us a very good and specific lesson for having you as a president,

"A day after the bomb blast killed over 80, President Goodluck Jonathan visited Kano state to welcome former governor of the state, Ibrahim Shekarau, to the People’s Democratic Party". (Jonathan unofficial trip that has no significance to his primary role).

"Jonathan cancels FEC meeting over death of Sambo’s brother: The Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting did not hold yesterday because of THE THIRD-DAY prayer for Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo’s younger brother who died in a road crash in Abuja on Sunday". (Jonathan Official assignment).

And when almost 300 girls were freshly abducted in Chibok, President Jonathan neither acted fast enough to rescue the girls nor visited the village. His Administration even denied anyone was abducted, until 19 days after!

...“The president did not believe that those girls were abducted for almost 18 days,” Mr. Obasanjo said in the interview. “If the president got the information within 12 hours of the act and he reacted immediately, I believe those girls would have been rescued within 24 hours, maximum 48 hours.”

Mr. Obasanjo said that rather than spring into action after receiving briefings about the abduction, “the president had doubts.” Obasanjo.

As if the shame of the conspiracies surrounding the issue of insurgency is not enough, Our shoeless president locked down Abuja to declare his re-election, when Boko Haram has graduated from a hit and run terrorist group, into an army who now occupy territories they have conquered in the northeastern part of the country under the watch of our dear President. Very recent killing of over 60 future Nigerian students in Yobe is not enough reason for Jonathan to postpone his declaration if he has agreed to contest regardless of anything.

Mr. President, we know you are trying to teach us a very good and specific lesson for having you as a president, on behalf of 170 million Nigerians, I say, we are very sorry and we won’t repeat such a mistake. Let us bring to your notice how you deliberately ignore matters that concern Nigerian state such as Australian Negotiator who Insisted Modu Sheriff, Ihejirika Sponsor Boko Haram, romancing with boko-haram sponsor is all our president could offer, what about South African $15m arms deal among others.

Is President Jonathan coordinating the killing of Nigerians or protecting us? No one can legitimately answer the question because we are in serious doubt based on the president clueless actions and his body languages. God forbid bad thing, would you have got the mind to make any declaration if Ariwera Jonathan or Aruabi Jonathan were either be among the chibok girls or the Yobe-killed students? Remember these killed and displaced students are son/daughter to a father.

We all witnessed the wedding, where Apple iPhone sold at the material time at the rate of 120,000 Nigerian money (equivalent to level 12 monthly salary of Nigerian worker) were largely distributed to the guests among other gift.

If this is what democracy is all about, we are in serious trouble because I'm so sure a kindergarten head boy will lead better than President Jonathan. A Nigerian President with local government ideology.
