Comparing OBJ, Yar'adua And Gej On Insecurity Challenges by bilms(m): 1:11pm On May 21, 2013
1. During Obj's tenure as the president of Nigeria between 1999-2007, he was confronted with several challenges of insecurity that at a point, many thinks everything is going down, as crisis keeps springing up from every angle.

From the violent and deadly riot in kano and Kaduna which claimed countless lives, to the crisis in Jos,Akwa Ibom and Ekiti which prompt the President to declare a state of emergency. The Ife and Modakeke massive crisis in Osun state aswell as Offa erin ile crisis in Kwara. This is apart from the violent situation in bayelsa state, aswell as the OPC lagos crisis among several others.

To solve the problems, Obj didn't hide under this crisis as an excuse for his failure, he take credit for his little performance and he also took full responsibility for his massive failure as a leader. He didn't say, i failed because of the crisis, he simply handled it without blaming any opponent.

He ended the insecurities like nothing ever happened while at the same time not blaming anyone for the situation. He simply did what he his elected to do as the commander in chief without blaming anyone, protecting lives and properties of the citizens of Nigeria across the country.

2. During Yar'adua's tenure as the president of nigeria between 2007- 2010, he was also confronted with several security challenges. The Boko haram sect were one and also, the Niger delta militant among others.

Yar'adua in his short life as president didnt blame the crisis for his failure, he simply handled it and claim the glory for his little achievements and take full responsibility for his massive failure. Yar'adua ended the Boko haram insecurity in 2009,ended the Niger Delta militancy and never blamed anyone for the problems. He didn't accuse the Niger delta leaders who armed and sponsored the Militant,he just did what he was elected to do as the commander in chief,without pointing accusing fingers to anyone.

3. During Goodluck Jonathan tenure as the president of Nigeria between 2010-2015, he was confronted with several challenges of insecurity like that of OBJ and Yar'adua before him, but instead of handling the situation in the best interest of the citizens like his predicessors, he decided to do something different.

He tribalized the insecurity, regionalized it, religionize it and divided the country into north vs south and also further divided it into Christians vs Muslim.

Instead of handling the security challenges as the president of the country with sincereity, he decided to find enemies to blame,pointing accusing fingers to his political opponents instead of dealing with the crisis as the commanedr in chief.

Instead of enlisting the support of all to end the crisis,he tagged his political opponent as the cause of the crisis,linking them without any basis to the violent sect,yet asking them to support him to end it. Just like a house owner who accused his neighbor of being the criminal who stole in his building and at the same time asking the neighbor to join him in finding the criminal.

This is after the National Security adviser(Azazi) has `said that, PDP is boko haram and boko haram is pdp. pdp is the president and the president is pdp.

This is also after a senator of the same presidents party(pdp) had been arrested as a sponsor of the boko haram sect, which the senator`also said, the vice president is aware of all his activities with the boko haram.

Instead of handling the security challenges, he decided to empower different militant groups like OPC, MEND, individual militants etc with oil contracts to threaten the nation with further violence and destruction.

Instead of handling the insecurity,his aid(kuku) went to the international community to threaten the country by saying, if GEJ is not re-elected for 2nd term, there will not be peace in the Niger Delta. As a follow up to that,the empowered militant (Asari) further threaten the country that, if GEJ is not elected for the second term, there won't be peace not just in Niger Delta, but in the whole of the country.

With the above submission, there is no doubt that we know the source of the present insecurity.

However, It is a shame that the president could not take the responsibility of his actions and in actions,always finding someone to blame for his doing and undoing.

When he failed to provide good governance, he blamed insecurity, when he was confronted with insecurity, he blamed his political opponents. when he removed fuel subsidy to inflict untold pain and hardship on the innocent masses, he blamed the opposition parties. when he refused to declare his assets, he blamed media, when he pardoned a corrupt criminal who stole billions from developmental funds, he blamed both local and international communities for speaking against it, when he failed to be a good leader, he blamed leadership itself. What a leader.
