Embarrassment As Jonathan Misses Speaking Slot At AU Gathering

By SaharaReporters, New York
[b]President Goodluck Jonathan today missed the opportunity to give a speech at the ongoing Special Assembly in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the African Union (AU).
Two members of President Jonathan’s delegation spoke to SaharaReporters from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia which also serves as the secretariat of the AU. They reported that there was confusion among delegates as well as embarrassment on the part of Nigerian officials when Mr. Jonathan failed to show up in the hall to deliver his speech.

Mr. Jonathan’s “no-show” reportedly set tongues wagging as delegates from other African nations asked confused Nigerian officials why their president did not appear to address the AU on an occasion as important as this year’s assembly. The AU was inaugurated 50 years ago and known for many years as the Organization of African Unity (OAU). In the 1970s and 1980s, Nigeria was one of the organization’s most dynamic members, using international diplomacy as well as funds to push for the liberation of Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.[/b]


[b]But another source scoffed at both excuses. “If the president was in the toilet, his aides should have informed the protocol at the summit to delay in calling him to speak. And if the president wanted to hold a bilateral meeting, why should he fix it during the time he was told he would address the assembly??” He added that somebody within Mr. Jonathan’s inner circle disclosed that the Nigerian president had stayed up till late eating and drinking with members of his inner circle. Mr. Jonathan also reportedly spent a long time consulting with some of his governor associates back in Nigeria about ways to push back against the Nigerian Governors Forum that yesterday elected Rivers State Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi as their chairman. Mr. Jonathan, who has had a long-running political feud with Governor Amaechi, had backed Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State for the post of chairman of the governors’ group. Mr. Jang’s defeat rattled the president, several sources told SaharaReporters yesterday.

“Mr. President was up very, very late. But he had been up that late at night and still woke up in time to honor his appointments,” the source said. “But today, he did not seem to realize that addressing the assembly was an important obligation.”[/b]

Our two main sources said they and other Nigerian diplomats were shocked and embarrassed when Mr. Jonathan’s name was called to give his speech but the Nigerian head of state was nowhere to be found. “The official summit announcer called Mr. President a few more times, and then the program went ahead to another speaker,” said one source.

Mr. Jonathan later showed up to join in the photo-op session at the meeting and disappeared shortly afterwards without offering any explanation for his absence when it was his turn to speak.

Among those at the AU’s assembly were President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe as well as former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Nigerians are happy because PMB is restoring our pride and glory on the global stage.

PMB have met and sat down with nearly all the world leaders that matters during this foreign engagement so keep quiet and go sit beside your biafra transistor radio and let Nigerians worry about Nigeria..

The point here is, a lot of senseless wailer have been celebrating and jubilating that Buhari missed a couple of meetings today and yesterday. I call these people senseless because one only needs a tiny bit of sense to understand that Buhari is human and even though all the reports clearly stated it was due to errors by officials of the Nigerian mission, these morons have been ecstatically jubilant all day and vomiting all sorts of senselessness.

Now one thing all these morons have in common is that they are all diehard Jonathanians who are simply still bitter over a long forgotten election, hence their moronic displays of emotions. These people forget so soon that their hero also missed important meetings, even the ones where HE WAS MEANT TO DELIVER SPEECHES and for what reason if one may ask, their hero flew all the way to these venues but was INEBRIATED and couldn't deliver his speeches.

Anyway, it all makes sense why these plebs are so happy that someone else has missed a meeting.

u used up a whole paragraph to talk abt someone who handed over leadership 4 months ago. I hail oooo. Concentrate on the present.. Jonathan came with transformation and maybe he failed, focus on Buhari and make sure ur Idol delivers on d change he promised..

Na u dem embarass abi

Sahara reporters been following jonathan every wer. Make una free d man nah.

But dis one o adonbilivit....sahara sahara sahara dis una lie ehn

Pepe dey inside am o!

You see, this is what we need to stop doing. We need to stop comparing Buhari and GEJ. I supported Buhari in the past election because I thought GEJ was a huge mess up with that I supported Buhari hoping his administration will be light years ahead of GEJ's own. I also assumed other Buhari's supporters expected the same. Let's get over the elections, it's done, Buhari won. Using GEJ as a yardstick is a shame, let's not make this government lazy. GEJ missing a meeting doesn't make Buhari and his team messing up his itinerary ok, in fact it should make us upset because we expected mess ups like that to be a thing of the past. We voted in Buhari so that we could go anywhere and flash our passports and proudly say we're Nigerians, not to beat our chests saying Buhari is slightly better than GEJ or well they're the same. I expect Buhari to be a revolutionary leader, someone that'll change the mindset of Nigerians in terms of excellence, patriotism, etc. I haven't lost hope yet obviously but no need to help them justify their f-ups

Aresa I like most of your posts but abeg let's demand more because in your heart you know our expectations for this administration is way higher than "GEJ did it too"

No u got it so wrong. I rather used two paragraphs to talk about people who have refused to be reasonable and who keep vomitting infantile tantrums all because they are still bitter over the outcome of an election that happened more than 4 months ago. I only mentioned GEJ in a sentence because he is the basis of comparison and bone if contention which these people keep referring to.

THE QUESTION IS WHO IS THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AT THIS POINT IN TIME: GEJ OR PMB. WHAT WOULD SPORT LOVERS THINK OF MESSI FANATICS PLACING THE BLAME FOR MESSI'S 8 WEEKS SPELL INJURY AT THE DOORS OF CHELSEA FC, FOR THE TACKLE BY TERRY IN THE SEMIFINALS OF THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OF 2012.

This guy will never stop disappointing

And the 24/7 kunu sipping broom waving demon can't do better. Where world leaders were gathered all shaking d Pope, d Presidiot couldn't cos he was stopped . With his spirit of bad luck all round.
couldn't attend a simple meeting n tackling boko haram that he bragged about defeating n used it as his campaign priority to win election.
Now he cant deal with his little demons. N u r here defending him.
Ppl like u will spill ur intestines to abuse Goodluck yet can't take it wen ur demonic god is abused.
trash

Now GEJ had become the benchmark of Buhari's success and failures then GEJ supporters have every reason to celebrate him as their hero; he's HERO indeed. Remember, while other presidents from different countries where their, our own president, mr. Buhari was prevented from doind what ought to do as others what a shame?
