The Committee for the Defence of Democracy (CDD) has raised alarm over analleged plan by the federal government to arrest former President Goodluck Jonathan over allegations surrounding thepurported $2.1 million arms deal.The CDD in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Comrade Akindele Lawson, described this latest move by the APC government of President Muhammadu Buhari as the height of the series of blame that the new administration has continuedto put on the last administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

Ex-President Goodluck JonathanIt asked President Muhammadu Buhari to stop blaming his predecessor, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, for Nigeria’s problems, while urging the government to instead focus on delivering dividends of democracy to Nigerians, as promised during the electioneering campaigns.

“It is already eight months in the life of the Buhari government and all we have continued to hear is that our problems were caused by the last administration, without anything pointing towards a rescue plan by this government.”

The group stated that if the President continue piloting the affairs of this nation with so much focus on the past, then therewill be a danger ahead as there may be no indication of any change, which Nigerians have earnestly anticipated from the APC government, in any near future.

On the so called arms probe by the President Buhari’s government, the CDD stressed that it was wrong for anybody to claim that ammunition and military hardware were not bought for the Nigerian Armed Forces during President Jonathan administration, as it asserted that the current probe is nothing, other than the probe of the campaign funding of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, which is just being sensationalized by the APC government.

“It is on record that despite the difficulties that the Jonathan administration faced in procuring arms from some western nations over alleged human rights issues, he still managed to source sizable quantities of platforms, weapons, bullets and other ammunition for the Nigerian Army, Navy and Air Force, which were used to tackle insurgency to a near end before the end of his administration.”

“There is no doubt that the purchase of massive arms and ammunition in the last one year of the Jonathan government made it possible for the military to root outBoko Haram terrorists from all parts of Yobe and Adamawa States, leaving only about three local government areas in Borno State, partially under the control of the insurgents, as at May 2015,” the statement further said.The group, therefore, challenged the Buhari’s administration to deny the fact that the Nigerian military was still using the arms and ammunition procured by Jonathan to fight in those problem areas, insisting that Buhari’s government has notbought any new arms till date.

It added, “Finally, the CDD, wishes to remind President Buhari and the APC, that elections are over and less focus should be placed on Dr. Jonathan or his party, PDP. Our economy is sliding towards a recession and several uncertainties are already trailing our National polity, as it is time for the APC government to face the business of governance and stop the blame game.”

These days, Vanguard, ThisDay, Daily Times, Guardian and New Telegraph dailies are getting critical of government based on the sensational nature of their coverage of issues such as politics and economy.

I opine that the incumbent president should be impeached and concurrently apprehended too for his reprehensible failure to fulfil campaign promise and his botchy dispensation, which have deteriorated to the impoverish nature of the economy and the frivolous, impotent strategies to curb and obliterate the deadly circulation of lassa fever that have terminated innocuous lives in Nigeria.

I repeat nonsense post!

Jonathan must be arrested for the evil he committed due to his selfishness. Nonsense

Let him be arrested first., before we know the drill. The noise is just too much.
Meanwhile, the media is playing a distracting role.

Even EFCC have not been able to trace any evidence relating his endorsement of the dispensation of the fund. thus, they can't criminate him!

All nefarious attempts to abash him must surely succumb to futility.

Fallacy

Hmmmmmmm

If only the alarm were true then, and only then, ours laws could be said to be no respecter of persons.

He has nothing to worry about if he's innocent





In my books he ought to have been arrested already

I want to believe you are not in Nigeria, hence I forgive your negligence to the truth.

Most of the atrocities committed under him was attributed to him starting from Noi, Metuh, Dasuki. All claimed Jonathan asked them, authorized one payment to another. No one is saying Jonathan is guilty here, all we are saying is, he claimed he didn't award contract but his name kept on rolling from Metuh to Dasuki and others. Isn't OK if he break his silence?

Hmmmm

A president who masterminded an attempted clandestine (unofficial) removal of 2016 Budget from the Senate but had to lie when the bubble busted wants to arrest our own Jonathan?

A president who lied about his Certificate wants to tell us he's Mr. Integrity?

A president who lied about his asset and financial status during election campaigns is planning to disgrace his predecessor, someone that gave him enabling ground to ascend to the presidency?

A president whose campaign and electoral "victory" was allegedly bankrolled through APC State Govts security votes and questionable sources has the gut to talk about fund diversion?

This is Africa where demons sometimes conduct deliverance for witches. No problem, let Buhari arrest Jonathan and clap for himself for a job well done. I say once again, no problem. We dey watch.

jonathan is the number reason why nigeria is like this.

DaBullIT:

What if he is now apprehended and was later ascertained that he is innocent and exculpated?
that would have done a severe damage of besmirching the reputation of a prestigious, prodigious man that have drawn international admirations for himself and the nation.

that is deprave and illogical to my sensitization.
