The Nigeria Army, Navy and Police today publicly and illegally campaigned for President Goodluck Jonathan ahead of the 2015 general elections as female officers from the three key security and defence forces participated in a mass rally organized by the National Council for Women Society (NCWS) which acted as a front for Nigeria’s first lady, the main sponsor of the political event at Eagle Square in Abuja.

The officers joined in a march past as part of activities to grace the occasion but the action caught many people unawares, as it is unheard-of for members of the country’s Armed Forces to be part of such a political jamboree. The rally which was dubbed a "peace rally" made little or no mention about the various crisis bedevilling Nigeria, instead it became a campaign ground for series of groups paid for by the first lady to declare support for mr. jonathan and his political ambition in 2015.

The participation of the nation’s armed forces in the event in which they blatantly expressed support for the incumbent President, with the elections over one and a half years away, may be evidence to the whole world that the 2015 Nigeria general elections may be no more than a charade if the security agencies who are supposed to provide unbiased security for it are revealed to be political supporters of Mr. Jonathan.

I just hope Jonathan won't abuse these institutions during the 2015 elections, because it is obvious he is going to contest again.

With the way things are going politically in the country now, I'm now convinced that GEJ will contest in 2015 and he will definitely win, because he's still the incumbent president and the power/authority is still there for him to use to have his way.

Another thing that may likely give him an additional pass is if APC pick Buhari as their presidential candidate.

May God help our country o.

Her Holiness, Patience Jonathan, the Jesus Christ of Okrika is the de-facto Commander-in-Chief hence her over-indulgences and excesses in politics and State matters. The Armed forces have always had this sense of regime protection and has morphed into a desperate form of pocket protection, as against the protection of the people. The Armed Forces are political tools in the hands of desperate politicians.


GEJ is merely deploying the same boring approach that was used by late Abacha. The latest charade and jamboree bears all the hallmarks of Abacha's self-succession drive. GEJ had better not wallow in self-deception and praises from self-seeking praise singers.

People should leave this woman. Its her time

I will never comment

No dulling. GEJ till 2019. Copy that haters.

Using Military personnels for political campaign is a perfect recipe for Military Coup.

Who says Jonathan isn't really and very DUMB?

Policewoman: No dulling. GEJ till 2019. Copy that haters.

GEJ till 9ja is no more

Policewoman: No dulling. GEJ till 2019. Copy that haters.

Erm.... Madam, hope you had a nice time at the rally.

Really

Thus country is phucked this is gross abuse of power

Involving sensitive national institutions such as the Armed Forces in partisan politics only shows that the morality of the Presidency has not only been sacrificed on the alter of greed but also exposes the extent to which it can go in its quest 4 power.
Soon,they will know dat power is like sand in hand.The more u grab it,the more it slips out of your hand.

democraticali unfair

The excesses of this present government is becoming unbearable. At a time when the Government said they cannot avoid to pay the allowances demanded by the ASUU, they have money to spend on this jamboree, while our children are out of schools. Please Jonathan dont misplace your priority, this jamboree can wait until next year while you spend time from now on to attend to some pressing issues such as education, food security, health issues etc and then consolidate your efforts for everyone to see your accomplishments and decide if you actually deserve another term. You cannot coerce us or cajole us to vote for you in 2015. It does not work like that, except if you want to through this country into turmoil in 2015.

Yes sir. We have seen the way our president is touching most sectors of the economy. So he needs more time to consolidate. Madm also took good care of us after the march

By the way what exactly is wrong with Jonathan contesting for presidential election come 2015.I prefer him to the desperate thievenubu and Buhari.A devil u know is better than 100 angels u dont know.Who knows what will become of the apc when they get there.
Tinubu now owns bellview airline,check his oriental hotel,and a whole lots of investments all these are nigerian funds embezzler.

GEJ: Na wetin i go do to make this people like me

He is free to contest in 2015 buh what matters is his achievement before the ending of his tenure

Jonathan is a disgrace to the Nigerian presidency. I watched the bullshit yesterday and see how they wasted money telling us the importance of women. You don't need to tell us, we know women are important But giving them the kind of power u re talking about is not the right way. Because no matter how rich a woman is, she will still get married and be under a man.

If true then Gej should be vigilant because military could take over anytime... what a phucked country.. 2015 election and his having sleepless night from 2013.. pure failure.

I dey laff. C wetin desperation dey do to pple. Anyways, Abacha do pass ds wan b4 baba "Godeeeee" delete am. Una suppose go ask Sanni mk e tutor una on macinnery employment and ghost clappers theory

Person wey no perform no deserve any re-election
