The postponement of the 2014 elections has finally convinced the undecided the kind of person Goodluck Jonathan is as a person. The man is so desperate and ready to destroy all the institutions that make a state function in order to achieve his inordinate ambition. The only people who still live in denial are a few members of PDP who think that the issue of the postponement of the elections is a simple power play, a show of power and a superiority contest over the opposition. What they are failing to see right now is that the only thing GEJ thinks about is himself, the only person GEJ thinks about is himself. No one else and nothing else matter in scheme of things.
There are a lot of pointers to back up this claim, but I will limit myself to a few obvious ones. First on my list is the PDP primaries held across the various sections of the country, GEJ showed that he was ready to support the worse of the rest over the best of the rest in very controversial circumstances even if the person did not win fairly in the primaries. All entries for fairness by PDP members have all fallen on deaf ears, meaning that their views did not matter unless they could show that they were of electoral value to his personal ambition.
Another reason why PDP members should not applaud GEJ is that he has shown time and again that he is ready to sacrifice his party members in times of elections not because he felt that they could not perform but that he needed the oppositions in those states for his own personal ambitions. He has been known to cut deals sacrificing his party members for the opposition strictly for selfish reasons. Anambra and Ondo elections are two obvious examples supporting this assertion. That may have informed the statement by PDP chairman that he should stop using and dumping people.
The presidential primary itself was an eyesore where the insecured Jonathan rather than face others in a contest (whether fair and unfair) choose rather to muscle out any one who had any ambition by arm twisting destroying the age long tradition of internal democracy in the party to always hold primaries when choosing a candidate. If PDP members have become blind to the implication of this, I will tell them for free that this means that they could no longer aspire to hold positions in the country but simply bend to a more powerful person. The results of that successful approach served as blueprint for Wike in Rivers state.

The directive to the military to force INEC’s hand in postponing the elections has clearly shown that whatever stands in his way of achieving his selfish aim of being president even if it is the judiciary, military, governments’ institutions, constitution, INEC etc will be destroyed with both constitutional and unconstitutional means. The implication of this is that even PDP will not be spared in his quest with the level of impunity he is displaying.
IF, I repeat, IF GEJ successfully destroys our national institutions like the NPF, DSS, military, INEC, Judiciary and even the opposition, he would sacrifice PDP and its members to achieve it. The immediate and remote effects of this will be that PDP members will no longer have anywhere to rule because the country would have been thrown into chaos, anarchy and crisis. If that happens, everyone will lose. PDP, as well non-PDP and as well as the neutrals.
They can keep cheering him up right now. They will also soon find out that this democracy that people laid down their lives and freedom for is being threatened and is about to be destroyed by the selfish desperation of one man who only a few year ago was being oppressed by Mrs Turai Yar’dua.
I will leave them with the quote from Deji Adeyanju, an aide of Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Public Affairs.
“Buhari can never be President of Nigeria. Quote me any day any time. Instead of Buhari to become President of Nigeria, Nigeria would rather break. A military coup will even be allowed than for Buhari to become the president of a democratic Nigeria quote me any day, any time.”
If PDP members are under the illusion that they are being carried along in this grand plan, they will discover like the rest of us that this plan involves one person alone, GEJ. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
