GEJ Till 2019

Hmm

The president of the United States,
Barack Obama, on Monday March 23,
sent a special message to Nigerians
regarding the upcoming elections,
urging that the voting exercise be
carried out peacefully.
Here are five quotes from Obama’s message
that members of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) are very uncomfortable
with:
1. “Nigeria is a great nation and you can
be proud of the progress you’ve made.”
Obama acknowledges that Nigeria has
made tremendous progress that we can be
proud of. Listening to the APC’s message
you would think that Nigeria is not working,
and Obama rightly points out that we have
made progress under the present Jonathan
administration.
Who would want uncertain change over the
chance to keep progressing?
2. “Together, you won your
independence, emerged from military
rule, and strengthened democratic
institutions.”
Read the quote again. Obama says there is
no going back to military rule. Do we want
to go back to being bound by the shackles
of dictatorship? Buhari says he is a
“reformed democrat” but as we all know a
leopard doesn’t change its spots.
3. “You’ve worked hard to improve the
lives of your families and to build the
largest economy in Africa.”
Contrary to all the lies that the APC has
been trying to sell, our economy is
progressing, and it did not become the
largest economy in Africa by chance but by
the good policies of the Jonathan
administration. Obama states this fact
whilst acknowledging that the lives of
Nigerians have improved, and thereby
showing the APC to be liars.
4. “Violence has no place in democratic
elections — and that they will not incite,
support or engage in any kind of
violence — before, during, or after the
votes are counted.”
When violence is mentioned, Nigerians
cannot extricate General Buhari from his
famous statement before the 2011
elections and his famous silence after his
supporters went wild. The Blood of Dog and
Baboon statement recently made
concerning the 2015 elections still echoes
deeply. The APC is threatening a parallel
government also… Obama’s speech is a
clear warning against that.
5. “Boko Haram wants to destroy Nigeria
and all that you have worked to build. By
casting your ballot, you can help secure
your nation’s progress.”
Secure your nation’s progress. Don’t change
your fortunes.
Obama’s call on Nigeria to secure our
progress is like a call to retain President
Jonathan under whose presidency this
progress has been achieved. As it is ill
advised to change a commander-in-chief
during war, Nigerians must fight together
and eliminate Boko Haram with the armed
forces who are presently winning the war
and sustain this momentum.
Obama also said: ”in this task of advancing
the security, prosperity, and human rights
of all Nigerians, you will continue to have a
friend and partner in the United States of
America.”
Lest we forget, Nigerians are still much
aware of the flagrant violation of human
rights under General Buhari, resulting in a
rupture in diplomatic relations with the UK
and others.
What other areas of this Obama speech do
you think the APC is uncomfortable with?
