Yar’adua Would’ve Fixed Power Problem – Sambo

Vice-President Namadi Sambo, on Tuesday, said the illness and eventual death of late President Umaru Yar’Adua denied Nigerians the benefits of being led by a leader who saw himself as a servant.

He said Yar’Adua’s seven-point agenda and the emergency he declared in the power sector would have solved the lingering electricity problem in the country if not for his death.

Sambo made the observation during the public presentation of a book titled, ‘The Servant Leader: 2-3 Years Presidential Watershed of late President Umar Yar’Adua’, in Abuja.

“His seven-point agenda was coherent and many felt that when that was faithfully implemented, it would be the answer to the myriad of problems plaguing the nation and that it would remove the nation from the quagmire of incessant darkness into light,” Sambo said.

The vice-president said as an apostle of servant leadership, Yar’Adua was genuinely committed to serving Nigerians meritoriously until death cut short his desire.

He said, “The late President popularised the concept of servant leadership in Nigeria.

“It is a generally held belief that the late Yar’Adua had wanted to genuinely and meritoriously serve the Nigerian people up till the end, but his illness and eventual death cut short this avowed intention and service to the nation.”

Sambo recalled that as a servant leader, Yar’Adua expressed love for all Nigerians and showed genuine affection for all without discrimination or bias.

Describing him as a listening leader, the vice-president recalled that Yar’Adua, in many instances, reversed certain key government decisions.

Hmmm…let him that has ear listen to what the VP is saying…this is simply put…GEJ is not a servant leader and has not been able to do what Yaradua could have done…this is interesting…@Mr VP, we would love to hear more on this matter…

Is he saying that gej can not fix the power problem. Is gej not a servant leader.

His statement somewhat implies "A vote of no confidence on his current boss"

So in other words, himself and his boss (the retardeen) are buncha clueless opportunists who are nothing but badluck to us. It is very obvious even this people have given up on Nigeria. smh

Next pls cos its not new

Aiight someone help me out here. . .is Beaf suffering from multiple personality?

Please I need to know before I put the final payment on the wedding band.

Fresh Air!

hmnnnn meaning Oga GEJ, Yar'adua's vice that took over derailed the agenda and delayed the transformation?

Everybody in PDP is confused! Each of them singing different tune... From Azazi, to GEJ, to Abati, to Bamagar Tukur and Now Sambo.

How are we sure that Yaradua would have carried through? He's dead so we will never know. It's funny how even in death people that achieved nothing are seen as heroes.

Sambo is an id1ot

Is useless talk alone like his what will solve deep problems like lack of power

These guys are too sentimental. Or stvpid. Or both.

this movie is getting more and more interesting
imagine the vp indirectly dissing his boss
trouble is around the corner
jonathan should sit up because the north is after his seat by all means

Deflated Air! Nigerians, welcome to the Pit with Oga Jona on downward overdrive

Bloody 2015 Controversy: CPC Replies Jonathan On Buhari:


By Rotimi Fashakin
The Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has noted the response of Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President of Nigeria, to the altruistic statement credited to our National Leader, General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) wherein he had stated inter-alia dire consequences for the perpetual riggers of our electoral process in 2015. In the statement signed by Dr. Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media, GMB was grotesquely characterized as a sectional leader.

First, GMB has been out of office as Head of Government for about 28 years, yet his relevance to the Nigerian nation is something firmly acknowledged by a broad spectrum of Nigerians, including his adversaries. As Head of State, his Oil Minister was Professor Tam David-West, a Kalabari man in Rivers state. As a Leader, he created the ambience for his ministers to work unobtrusively and devoid of executive meddlesomeness. But what do we find with Dr Goodluck Jonathan? All the appointees as Oil ministers in his two-year reign thus far as President of Nigeria have been Nigerians of Ijaw extraction, like himself!



Second, in October 1, 2010, there was a bomb blast during the year’s independence anniversary celebrations, with attendant deaths of many Nigerians. Without waiting for any preliminary report from the Security Agencies, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, told a traumatized Nation, “it is not MEND!” Meanwhile, MEND is the name for the militant group from Dr Good-luck Jonathan’s ethnic extraction that had in the immediate past waged relentless and potent insurgency against the Nigerian state but had been placated with more slice of the Nation’s resources ceded to the region. Indeed, MEND impugned the President’s statement and admitted responsibility.



Third, so far as President of Nigeria, Dr Good-luck Jonathan has shown very generous affinity for Nigerians of Ijaw stock in terms of appointments and promotions in the Federal Public sector. There is a marked lopsidedness that smacks of clannishness and ethnocentrism by the President!



On Corruption and sleazy tendency, the Jonathan administration transcends all others before it! Nigerians are still befuddled by the impeachable show of arbitrariness by the regime in expending N2.67Trillion on fuel subsidy instead of the appropriated N240Billion in the 2011 appropriation act. As expected, the regime has attempted all manner of subterfuge to give Executive cover for the indicted people in the scam, who were the bank-rollers of the President’s electioneering campaign. Could it be that the missing money was funneled deliberately to the Jonathan Presidential Campaigns, with the acquiescence of the President?



GMB was quoted as saying that the Jonathan-led Federal Government is the greatest Boko-Haram. Understandably, this elicited awful response from the President. In a jejune, puerile, and very pedestrian communication, the presidential spokesman defined Boko-Haram as “Western education is sin” and went on to posit the administration’s investment in Education. How awkwardly inane could that be?!



It is common knowledge that Boko-Haram has become the euphemism for subtlety in devious schemes that cause mass killings of the innocents! As GMB aptly stated, Boko Haram has three variants, with varying degrees of severity and murderous content: the original Boko-haram that seeks to avenge the extra-judicial killing of its Leader by the Nigeria Police; the Boko Haram that pursues criminality for monetary gains and of course, the Political Boko-haram that is bent on setting the stage for ethno-religious pogrom in the Nigerian nation. It is the Political Boko Haram, with its extremely lethal content, that the Jonathan-led Federal Government represents!

·

In January 2012, Dr Good-luck Jonathan told a bewildered nation, still smarting from murderous Bombings, that his government has been infiltrated by Boko Haram.

·

In February 2012, a serving PDP senator from Borno South (Mohammed Ali Ndume) was arrested for being a member of Boko Haram.

·

In March 2012, Ndume deposed to an affidavit before a Federal High Court wherein he stated that Vice-President Namadi Sambo was aware of his activities with Boko Haram.

·

In April 2012, General Andrew Owoeye Azazi , the National Security Adviser, averred that there was indisputable proof that Boko Haram is PDP. As things stand, President Good-luck Jonathan is the national leader of PDP.



· In April 2012, Henry Okah (while standing trial on Terrorism charges) deposed to an affidavit before a South African court that President Good-luck Jonathan was the sponsor of the October 1, 2010 bombing at Eagle square. It is on record that as governor of a Niger-delta state, Dr Good-luck Jonathan (together with his brother governors) had used the MEND to command the attention of the Nigerian state.

· As a Party, we are aware of the role played by Jonathan’s PDP in the way the People’s post-electoral angst (at the subversion of their electoral will) was turned into murderous ethno-religious mayhem.

· We are also aware about how the Jonathan administration has consistently used the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of his fellow Niger-delta Nigerian, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, to demonize GMB in the despicable attempt to veil the murderous intent of the administration.

Meanwhile, with the hullaballoo that Dr Jonathan and his PDP elements have unwittingly caused within the Polity, should it be interpreted that there is a real effort towards ensuring that the 2015 election is also rigged as before in giving vim to the PDP Leaders’ claim of ruling Nigeria for 60 years? As a Nation, we are witnesses to the manner in which rigged elections have foisted on the Nation cluelessness in governance and rapacious impudence; it is indeed a dreary road to tread.



We insist that it is never ignoble to lose elections because President Abraham Lincoln, before being reputed to be the best American President that ever existed, was known to have lost elections several times. GMB, though lost Presidential elections three times to the rigging collusion of the Nigerian presidency and the electoral umpire, took the loss each time (like Abraham Lincoln) with equanimity!



In the meantime, we shall continue to trumpet the sterling qualities of the Buhari brand which is still a rarity among the Political players in our nation’s season of anomie. We stand unwaveringly by the statement credited to GMB!

God bless Nigeria.

honeric01, that is what I call SmackDown 2.0 - Unlike the porous false blabbing of Abati, this counter is a shoving hard truth down the PDP throat.

Sambo throws Retardeen a subliminal

Yeah, Yar'Adua was a Servant-Leader but something as simple as putting his Vice in charge whenever he traveled abroad was always impossibly hard for him to do. Abeg, make I hear word. But then again, maybe he knew how evil Goodluck Jonathan really was that's why he always treated him like crap.

Its surprising that you have not seen why Yar'Adua (who was very sick) did not even do so; GEJ have no mind of his own. Cannot initiate and successfully complete a thing.

Let me ask you, Can yuo even leave your personal poultry to Jonathan to care for while you are away?

His incompetence has always shined through whether at bayelsa or as VP. Its better to let your chicken roam in the wild than hand over to retardeen

LOL, retardeen don suffer? infact who be retardeen self?

Unbelievable crap.

Mr. Sambo better let the dead remain dead, while he focuses on his job.

Is Mr. Sambo saying that GEJ is incapable of fixing the power problem?

In any case, these people are taking us for granted.

We were all here when Yar'adua promised to declare a state of emergency on power, and then went into hibernation - 100 days came and turned into 3 years before the man disappeared into Saudia Arabia.

The same egg-heads are always raising their heads to irrigate our heads with nonsensical thoughts - it is extremely tiring.

Hey, Mr Sambo.... A VP can resign if he feels that his boss is not doing enough. Your resignation could trigger a revolution that will liberate this nation. Until you do that, shut up and continue looting.
