Why I Support Goodluck Jonathan By Bayo
Adeyinka
".......and be ready always to give an answer to
every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that
is in you...".(1Pet 3:15)
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the
majority, it is time to pause and reflect"- Mark
Twain.
Four years ago I was an avid supporter of General
Muhammadu Buhari but now I wholeheartedly
support the candidature of Goodluck Jonathan. I
have written articles to explain why I no longer
support General Buhari but I just realized I should
also explain why I now endorse Jonathan. As a
social commentator, critic, analyst and activist, I
believe I owe my readers, admirers and followers a
duty to explain the basis for my support. I have had
people- well-meaning friends- ask me to watch the
current of events and not 'go against the tide' but I
always follow the courage of my convictions as the
test of courage comes when you are in the minority.
I know leadership is not a popularity contest- it is
always about doing the right thing. According to
Mahatma Ghandi, "In matters of conscience, the law
of majority has no place". And for me this is a
matter of conscience.
As a player in the financial sector and a full time
resident of Nigeria, I have seen the groundbreaking
efforts made by the President to tackle the
numerous issues which plague our polity. Just like
a friend put it, the fact that you think Goodluck
Jonathan doesn't look, talk or act 'presidential' does
not mean you should doubt what he has done or
refuse to accept the good he has done. That is
tantamount to cutting the nose to spite the face.
A few years ago, I lost a very dear friend of mine to
a ghastly motor accident on the Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway. She was coming back from the
Redemption Camp after the monthly meeting and
her vehicle ran into another on-coming vehicle
while trying to avoid a very big pothole. It was a
very sad moment for me when I visited the widower
who was my lecturer in the University and I saw the
toddler she left behind. That same road that used to
be the nightmare of motorists is now being turned
into an amazing infrastructure at a frenetic speed. I
am a frequent road-user and I can tell the difference
on a good portion of what used to be a death trap.
Others have told me about the Benin-Ore road and
some other roads across the country.
A few months ago, I took the train from Lagos to
Ibadan for the first time in this country. While a few
of my friends have derided it as locomotive in this
time and age, no one can doubt the fact that goods
are being transported via trains now. I took pictures
of WAPCO LAFARGE and Dangote coaches as they
hauled cement on the tracks. Do we know how
much our roads have been spared from wear and
tear and carnage associated with heavy trucks and
trailers which hitherto transported these goods? The
same derided trains carried APC delegates to the
Presidential primaries in Lagos from Kano in
December. The same trains also carry Osun State
indigenes free of charge from Lagos to Osogbo
every festive period. There is no denying the
success of the intra-city trains which daily operates
within Lagos and which according to some reports
carry 5m people monthly. The PH-Enugu rail line
was opened a few weeks ago and Abuja-Kaduna
which is a 150km per hour rail line will be
commissioned next month.
I have personally visited farms supported by this
government through various initiatives such as the
CBN Agric Scheme and the Bank of Agriculture. I
have heard of how fertilizer scam which was
rampant a few years fizzled out under this
government through the creation of some initiatives.
The rate at which agriculture is being encouraged
and developed is unprecedented in the annals of the
nation's history. I have personally visited factories
set up in an arrangement with the Bank of Industry.
One of them which just started operations and now
manufactures a key raw material hitherto exported
from an European country, will soon start exporting
to Benin Republic and Cameroon. That company has
hired 53 people. Many people did not know that the
BOI has been in operations for about 30 years. I can
see the SME sector gradually getting it's groove
back.
I know people who have benefited from NEXIM's
entertainment fund- the same fund that was
accessed by the makers of the highly popular film
"Dr. Bello". The rapid expansion of cinemas across
Nigeria is a direct result of this support. Ibadan
alone has two large-screen cinemas, Abuja has at
least two, Lagos has at least five, Uyo, Port-
Harcourt and Kano have at least one each. This is
the reason most Nollywood practitioners are
supporting the President. A few months after the
rollout of the automotive policy, I visited an auto
assembly plant that was just established. I watched
as 2 brand of vehicles were assembled. I saw the
technicians work on the CKD (Completely Knocked
Down) parts and pass them through the chassis line
up to the final product. That same plant assembles
the BRT buses in use in Lagos. I was informed that
auto plant hired over 200 new staff as a result of
that policy. Made-in-Nigeria cars are now being
sold.
This past year, I visited the creeks of the Niger Delta
and saw local companies now benefitting from the
Local Content Bill. Jobs that were previously
outsourced to expatriates are now being handled by
Nigerians. Major OICs are now forced to look for
local technical partners by reason of the Bill. I know
a textile factory that recalled workers that had been
laid off after accessing the CTG (Cotton, Textile and
Garment) Revival Fund managed by the BOI. I can
only guess how many jobs were saved or created
by those who accessed the fund. I know the new
Universities created from scratch by this government
- about nine as we speak. The new Universities
have created employment and have been able to
assist more people have access to education.
Being a frequent flyer also, I have visited a few of
our local airports. They look far better than before.
Even if you think they could be better, there is no
denying that progress has been made. A new wing
is now being built at the MMIA where the car park
used to be. The car park has been moved to a new
site beside the Airport Chapel. This is apart from the
extensive renovation of the existing structure. I
know three people who have benefitted from the
YOUWIN programme. One of them has a very viable
shoe business (set up from YOUWIN proceeds) in
the Mokola area of Ibadan where he employs a few
people. The setting up of the Nigeria Mortgage
Refinance Company is one of his best kept secrets.
It beats me hollow why not much noise is being
made about this achievement. The World Bank has
set apart $300m for this PPP arrangement which is
to service the housing deficit in Nigeria. For the first
10,000 forms issued in November, about 66,000
applied. This means that people will soon have
access to mortgages for between 10-20 years at
single digit interest rates. Please just google it up. I
can imagine the huge number of jobs that will be
created from 10,000 mortgages to be created every
quarter!
He has successfully unbundled PHCN. This was
something Obasanjo and Yaradua did
unsuccessfully. He has privatized the power sector
through a very successful bid process. Is the power
sector now out of the doldrums? Not yet. There are
still challenges such as distribution and sourcing for
gas. New power plants have to be built. Financing
this sector is not a monkey business and that gave
rise to the Power Intervention Fund which power
firms can access for facilities up to 10 years. In my
opinion and in line with a social commentator Mark
Amaza, the case of the power sector is akin to
Jonathan pounding yam for another person to eat. It
will take about 3 to 4 years for the investments to
begin to show. Some call them baby steps but they
are tiny steps that make a huge difference. Slowly
but surely, a foundation that will last for a lifetime
has been laid.
On the issue of corruption, 48,861 names (ghost
workers) were removed from the FG's payroll after
the IPPIS (Integrated Payroll and Personnel
Information System) was deployed. This singular act
saved N139b. No one has controverted this fact.
After the exposure of the subsidy scam, it has been
said that it is now easier for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle than for fuel importers
to access subsidy payments. The number of fuel
importers have been drastically reduced from about
120 in 2011 to about 39 presently. N671b has been
saved from subsidy claims when you compare the
payments in 2013 ( N1.3 trillion) to 2014 (N679b)-
January to October. On the Corruption Perception
Index of Transparency International, Nigeria was
rated 136 in 2014- an improvement from 153 in
2006. Is this the best that can be done about
corruption? Of course not! But there's a significant
shift from the braggadocio of the Obasanjo years.
Not many will forget how the EFCC pulled down the
gates of the personal house of one of the major
players in the telecoms sector, all because of the
suspicion of business relationship with one of the
opponents of that regime.
How well has he performed on the issue of security,
especially with the raging insurgency of Boko
Haram? In my opinion, he dealt the fundamentalist
sect a cruel blow when he reduced the number of
bureau de change operators by increasing their
capitalization. It is widely believed in security circles
that BDCs fund terrorism and nipping it in the bud
will go a long way to limiting the reach and impact
of their actions. He also started the building of
almajiri schools to cater for the education of the
nomadic northerners. The only way to prevent the
corruption of these young minds was through
education. These are schools their respective state
governors should have built. Most people don't
understand the nature of insurgency and the fact
that the army inherited by Jonathan had been
crippled militarily by previous governments. I
believe he's trying his best and if we all rally
around him, we will conquer Boko Haram which is
now the second largest terrorist group in the world-
after ISIS.
President Goodluck Jonathan's children attend
schools in Nigeria. That's one of the things that
attracted him to me. I don't remember the children
of past Presidents attending schools in Nigeria. He
signed the FOI bill which allows all of us to have
access to information unlike before. He doesn't
carry himself with any air around him and is so
patient. He does not lose his temper unlike
Obasanjo and we now call this his weakness.
Unassuming, everyone that comes across him goes
away with the belief that he's a very sincere man.
He has conducted elections generally certified as
free and fair- even at the risk of his own party losing
the elections. This was unheard of just a few years
ago during the Obasanjo years. He has deepened
our democracy by his actions to the point that the
opposition can even dream of winning the centre for
the first time.
One of the first steps he took was to shrug off his
godfather, Olusegun Obasanjo. It takes a man of
courage to take that bold step and unshackle
himself from the straps of any demi-god. He refused
to drop Namadi Sambo for Lamido based on Baba's
instruction. That is the reason for all the attacks
coming from the 'Watcher'. For the first time, Baba
is frustrated and very well so. It is well known that
if Baba won't have his way, he would rather engage
in 'roforofo' fight. So we call him all manner of
names- from clueless to incompetent.
Am I completely satisfied with the performance of
Goodluck Jonathan? Absolutely not! There are areas
he could have done better. Such as visiting the
Chibok school. Though I don't have the benefit of
security reports but I think it was a great error not
visiting the school. I also think he could do better
by calling Edwin Clark and his kinsmen to order
over their sometimes rabid comments. Though I
doubt if someone like Asari Dokubo is not far gone
in his ways given that he spoke in similar manner
when Obasanjo was the President, I believe it would
have been on record if attempts were made to
openly caution him or dissociate from him. He could
have also done without the embarrassments from
interventions by his wife, Patience Jonathan. The
Nigeria Governors Forum issue was also a chink in
his armour. I am not one to shout about anti-
corruption because I believe in the bottom-up
approach. Fighting corruption is everyone's job-
right from the church to the home unit. I believe
fighting corruption should start from instilling the
right value systems and getting a new orientation. I
believe the followership make the leadership. I
believe in building strong institutions and not
building strong men. I don't believe any one person
has a magic wand to solving our problems. The
challenges of this nation are deep and multifarious
and is similar to trying to sweeten a very bitter
concoction- not just a cube of sugar will do!
Is Jonathan the best that we can have? I've often
heard many people say they can perform better than
Jonathan. Yes, that's true. Spectators and
commentators are usually better players than those
on the actual field. They play better with their
mouths. In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "It is
not the critic who counts: not the man who points
out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer
of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs
to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face
is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and
again, because there is no effort without error or
shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms,
the great devotions, who spends himself for a
worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end,
the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the
worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring
greatly, so that his place shall never be with those
cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor
defeat."
Since there are two major players that we are
saddled with, I will rather stick with Jonathan who in
my opinion has made steady progress based on
aforementioned. This is where I stand and I hope
you respect my choice just like I respect yours.
In conclusion, the Scriptures say "the horse is
prepared for the day of battle but the victory is the
Lord's". We can only do our best by canvassing for
our candidates and exercising our rights to vote.
The ultimate decision rests with Jehovah who
appoints kings and removes them.
In the words of Daniel Chapter 4 verse 17: "This
matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the
demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent
that the living may know that the most High ruleth
in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever
he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men".
May God's will be done in Nigeria!

His Excellency president Goodluck Jonathan is working.
I and my family will vote for him.
Vote for continuity
Vote GEJ.

God will expose those that are making Nigeria ungovernable. Trust me, very very soon they will be utterly confused and disgraced.

Amen brother....All the unfounded insults to the presidents person are becoming appalling when its so clear that he has done so much for the Nigerian economy.
