Incendiary Comments : APC Urges Jonathan To Lead By Example by mistabiola: 9:04am On Dec 27, 2014
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has urged President
Goodluck Jonathan to show leadership by example instead
of engaging in mere rhetoric, saying talk becomes cheap the
moment words lose their meaning.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Friday by its National
Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said
President Jonathan’s exhortations at a Christmas service in
Abuja on Thursday would have carried weight if the
President had acted in such a way that his compatriots
would not doubt his sincerity.

It wondered how the President could admonish others to
avoid sowing the seeds of discord and hatred through their
utterances when that is exactly the stock in trade of his
political associates, supporters and spokespersons.

”Everything that the President’s political associates,
supporters and spokespersons have done has been geared
toward creating division among Nigerians and sowing the
seeds of discord and hatred, and the President is not on
record as having ever called them to order.

”Recently, Chief Edwin Clark, a die-hard supporter of the
President, said glibly that if the opposition has its way it can
poison or kill President Jonathan just to take power. No
statement could be more absurd and incendiary, yet the
President never called him to order.

”Another dyed-in-the-wool supporter of the President,
Mujaheed Asari Dokubo, said on national television that
there will be blood on the streets if President Jonathan is
not re-elected in 2015. He also said ‘we will not take any
prisoner of war. It will be total battle’, but the President
never uttered a word in his rebuke.

”Since President Jonathan’s main opponent in the 2015
elections, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari, emerged, his party
members and spokesmen have been falling over themselves to pour invective on him and his party, the APC.

The National Secretary of the President’s party, Wale Oladipo, called the former head of state a ‘semi-literate jackboot’, Doyin Okupe lambasted Gen. Buhari for not stealing money during his many public appointments while PDP spokesman Olisa Metuh issued his most jejune statement to date just to pillory the APC and its leaders.

”In all this, President Jonathan never saw a comment that
could fan the embers of discord and hatred. Having failed to
call his spokesmen, party members and supporters to order
when they made incendiary comments, President Jonathan
has lost the moral authority to call anyone else to order for
the same wrong doing,” APC said.

”Nigerians are more divided along ethnic and religious lines
today than at any time in the history of the nation, and this
is traceable to the President. President Jonathan should
therefore look inwards and stop being sanctimonious.

”On our part, we say, without equivocating, that we do not
need any admonition from anyone, least of all a holier-than- thou President, to avoid actions that could divide the people or create discord or hatred. We are a party of peace,
inclusiveness and concord, so President Jonathan should
first speak the truth to his party before saying it to anyone
else,” it said.

Jonathan is just 1 of the 5 Female Presidents we have in Nigeria today. He has no control or ideas of what to do. All he wants is to continue his corrupt administration.
