Why I Support Jonathan By Ikechukwu Iroha by nigerianvenom(m): 1:20pm On Jan 20, 2015
We Nigerians lack reading culture and have
developed an attitude of swallowing things line,
hook and sinker. I asked myself several questions
before identifying with GEJ's candidature.
I took a stroll down the memory lane from 1983/
85, I studied some high profile cases including Alex
Ekwueme, Tai solarin, Sam Mbakwe. I studied
Buhari's economic strategies which later
exacerbated our nation, I studied his intolerance to
other religions,freedom of the press. I studied his
decisions that bother on student unionism,
corruption etc I studied his uprightness .
Recently I have studied his speeches, a sharp
reflection of his state of mind, have also studied
the intents of his new found lovers in the likes of
Atiku, Tinubu, Amaechi etc.
Our problem is the doubt over the government we
set over ourselves while thinking we are being
critical of government. Our problem in Boko haram
is not about the competence of Jonathan but our
disunity of purpose.
Johnsun wrote , while GEJ was comfortably on top
of the situation in 2012/13, Mr Buhari and other
Northern elders were accusing him of partiality
against the North and recommended that GEJ
should stop military offensive against the terrorists
in favour of amnesty.
Admiral Nyako termed it Ethnic cleansing.
Jonathan acceded to the demands of this section
of the country for unity but in the process the
terrorists found time to regroup and become more
formidable. Now, the same people who asked GEJ
to soft pedal has now turned the atrocities of the
terrorists to a campaign point, this is unfortunate.
Its is treachery when a father asks a son to jump
from a roof top that he will catch him and when he
jumps , he not only fails to catch but set spikes for
him. The fact that Buhari called for a lesser
offensive against Boko haram and recommended
amnesty as was done for the militants , should
dis-entitle him claiming the government is not
effective in the fight, citing non use of lethal force.
In saner societies, he will be ashamed for blowing
hot and cold at same time on same issue. He
would've stock to his advice or apologise for
wrong advice.
He told us he borrowed #27.5 million for a
nomination form but he did not tell us how he
plans to pay back. The identity of the bank,
manager, account officer has not been made
public. It will interest you to know that he collects
#2.3 million on monthly basis as his retirement
benefits , yet no foundation for the poor,
empowerment of any kind, no scholarship
whatsoever has been recorded.
He told us he has # 1million in his account ,alas,
his daughter pays €30000 yearly in a foreign
university, equivalent of #8 million. He claimed to
have fought corruption but under his nose Abacha
emptied our treasury. I do not wish to remember
the 52 cases, Ibrahim Awwal's £14 million.
He once argued that all ACN governors are corrupt,
he said they award 1 kilometer road at # 1billion .
He accused El-rufai , Atiku, Bisi Akande Tinubu etc
of corrupt practices. The good news is, they are
now change agents and their sins washed away. A
thief and a beneficiary of a stolen product are
culpable of same crime. Suffice it to say Buhari is
corrupt. What economic decision has he made?
Stopping Jakande Lagos mono rail at the
detriment of $72 million tax payers money?
Dismissing 30000 soldiers to cut cost, stopping of
Ajaokuta steel?. Now he has promised #5000 to
unemployed at least to encourage lack of creativity
and idleness, he has promised to feed school
children, help Ebonyi state produce more yams and
stabilize price of oil in the foreign market . If any
voter can employ the like of Buhari to head his
organization especially on foreign engagements
with experts , then the person mean no good for
Nigeria.
On GEJ, I have noticed a style, steady and
noiseless transformations. I can remember what
Shagari said over the weekend. We cant get it at
once but we are getting it. Have you asked how
many people Sure-P , youwin have employed?
Have you noticed the decline in the importation of
Agric produce? Have you seen the airports,
railways and road networks? You believe your
votes can count, any kudos for that? Have you
studied the automobile policy that has allowed
Innoson, kia, Nissan etc build and assemble cars in
Nigeria aimed at employing citizens? Have you
accessed the BOI, Agric and SME loans? Have you
noticed the number of ghost workers detected
through IPPS thereby saving #46 billion? What of
fertilizer fraud , heard anything from that quarter?
Use of technology.
Have you say thanks for the 12 universities built,
over 130 Almajiri schools, over 60 healthcare
facilities, improvement in power generation, gender
equality etc?
What has APC done in their various states? Which
APC state is enjoying free education?. Yesterday
Buhari complained of the 16 woeful years under
PDP. Was he referring to Atiku, Amaechi, Gemade,
Rochas, Tambuwal , Sylvia, Kwankwaso,
Saraki,Ogbe etc? Buhari represents a change to
dackness.

Adding to @op points, after blowing whistle for the bh to be softly handled, he refused to lead the negotiation delegales even when they voiced it out that they were ready to dialogue with him. We are not going to be deceived again.
