Festus Keyamo Slams GEJ Again by usibengate(m): 12:03am On Jan 25, 2015
For the umpteenth time, Lagos based lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has come hard on incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan.

In an interview the popular lawyer granted Premium Times recently, he urged Nigerians not to be deceived by the lies of President Jonathan’s campaign organization against the All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari.

Keyamo added that the President and his handlers have failed to understand that the 2015 presidential election was not about human rights or religious issues, but about insecurity, corruption and the economy.

In his own words: “It is not a campaign that should be dominated by human rights record because that is not an issue now because we have a competition in place. Chapter 4 has not been suspended, unlike in 1984. Now, this campaign is dominated by two centre things – there is a third one that is also crucial – which are insecurity, corruption and of course the issues of the economy is hanging in there too.

“So, let us be clear in making our decision. We know exactly what we are doing. This not a campaign that should be dominated by human rights record; that is where the PDP is getting it wrong.”

He said it was time for Nigerians to realize that President Jonathan had no clue or idea on how to run Nigeria. He added that the country was at a crossroad and needed a commander-in-chief at the helms of affair.

“This is the time we need a commander-in-chief in this country. At some other time when we want to be chopping cabbage, maybe Jonathan can come back.

“But I cannot entrust the next four years of my life, my children, under the smoke of ethnicity in the hands of Jonathan. He has no clue, he has no idea of how to take this nation out of the hands of insurgents.

“It is under a Jonathan administration that insurgencies germinated, grew and dominated us because he does not have the knowledge either historically, learning by training or simple intelligence to understand the dynamics of war. This is what concerns us all, our lives and property, the primary duty of government – he does not have it and that is why whatever his military chiefs tell him, he takes. They are all feeding fat on the situation and because of the issue of corruption the so-called ex-generals are all part of the game.

“Ask yourself these questions: for the five years of insurgency where do these insurgents come from? Where are these camps? The Nigerian Air Force, Army, Nigerian Navy cannot find and destroy them? It is an indelicate mix of incompetence and corruption on the part of government,”  Keyamo said.

The fact is GEJ is too dull to be even a local chief in Otuoke mot to talk of ruling Nigeria. A vote for GEj is a vote for continuity of corruption, terrorism, cluelessness, mismanagement, impunity, national ridicule in front of the rest of the world
