Must Read: The Story Of President Goodluck Jonathan. by Aare2050(m): 7:58pm On Feb 18, 2015
The Story Of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
Jonathan was resting jeje at his Otueke Country
home after coming back from his Lecturing job at
Rivers State College of Education and Alamesigha
went to him and asked him to come and be his
running mate - that was in 2002 - of course
Jonathan accepted (na who dem go put sugar for
him mouth and him go reject am) and the rest is
now history, Alamesiegha got elected and
Jonathan became Deputy Governor.
It is on record that Jonathan was very loyal even to
a fault to his Governor that even up to this day as
President he still differs to Alamesigha and
addresses him as My Governor
When Alamesiegha fell out of favour with
Obasanjo, Jonathan was even afraid to take over
but Obasanjo blackmailed him into becoming
Governor and so Jonathan was forced to become
Governor and thus completed Alamesiegha's
tenure
So why then would anyone BLAME Jonathan for
Alamesiegha's misfortune. It was Obasanjo that
orchestrated that action and executed it
In 2006 Jonathan was busy at Yenago preparing to
participate in the PDP Primaries so as to become
the Governor of Bayelsa State of his own right and
then one evening when Obasanjo had finished a
meal of Amala and ewedu soup with plenty bush
meat and really feeling ON TOP OF THE WORLD,
he picked his phone and dialed the then Bayelsa
State Governor(Goodluck Jonathan) and told him
that he has picked him to be the running mate to
the then Presidential candidate of the PDP -
Umaru Musa Yar'adua - of course Jonathan was
over the cliff with joy and he prostrated for the
Baba at Aso Rock who always got whatever he
wanted when he was REIGNING AS KING.
Jonathan's emergence as the Vice Presidential
Candidate of the PDP in 2007 was a shocker to all
those who had spent money campaigning to
become the Presidential Candidate and who were
even encouraged by Obasanjo himself to contest
and campaign - people like Peter Odili, Sam Egwu,
Achike Udenwa and others.
Jonathan was single handedly picked by Obasanjo
to become Vice Presidential Candidate and the
rest is now history. Yar'adua was elected and
Jonathan became Vice President
Obasanjo knew that Yar'adua was sick but
Jonathan did not know that and as Vice President,
Jonathan again was loyal to a fault to the President
- he was only to be seen but not heard. He always
had to seek clearance from the then President
Yar'adua before making any public statements.
And when President Yar'adua was away for a long
time without transmitting power to the then Vice
President Jonathan, to the point that even the then
First Lady Turai Yar'adua and the other kitchen
cabinet members of the President's office held the
nation by the throat, Jonathan made no sound or
noise; it even came to a head when a group of
Nigerians including late Professor Dora Akunyili
had to come out openly to ask that the National
Assembly should cause the Vice President to
become the Ag. President pending the recovery of
the President and after much dilly dallying, the
then National Assembly under David Mark invoked
the "Doctrine of Necessity" which was alien to the
Constitution to make the then Vice President - the
Acting President.
Eventually President Yar'adua died (may his soul
rest in peace) and Jonathan had to be sworn in to
complete Yar'adua's tenure.
So why then would anybody BLAME Jonathan for
the death of Yar'adua?
In 2010 Obasanjo again rooted for Jonathan
despite all the noise made by the North that power
should swing back to them because of the
unfortunate event of the death of the President of
northern extraction but Obasanjo stuck to his gun
as a Military General that he is.
In 2011 Jonathan was elected by a wide margin to
become Nigeria's first President from the
Southern Minority
Early in his Presidency, things started going awry
between him and his god-father Obasanjo.
He partially removed SUBSIDY ON FUEL on fuel,
saving billions of naira that were used to rub the
backs of the cabal that included very highly placed
persons
He removed more than 50, 000 names from the
Federal Civil Service who had served as GHOST
WORKERS from the time of the Presidency of
those that we know very well
He introduced the EWALLET system in
AGRICULTURAL INPUTS DISTRIBUTION and thus
dismantled the middle man syndrome that held
Nigerian farmers captive
He re-concessioned the Lagos - Shagamu express
road from a non functioning Company that had
backing from those we know very well to a
performing Company that helped build Lagos
State
He remodelled the airports and gave a cargo
airport to each zone of the Country - they were not
happy that the South East got an International
Airport because they are still afraid of the Igbos
who they hate with all the venom in them
He made the rail lines very functional again
He refused to be a sitting duck, he decided to be
the man that Nigerians can hold responsible for
the good governance of this Country
Obasanjo was amazed that the boy from Otueke
had become a man at Aso Rock and so he has
sworn to push him out of Aso Rock.
Nigerians, this is the story of Goodluck Jonathan.
The man under whose hands God has favoured
this Country much more than before. I may not
have benefitted from his government as a person
(after all I am my own government) but that does
not in any way mean that he has not done well.
This 2015 election is not about Goodluck - what he
has done or what he did not do
This 2015 election is about OIL BLOCKS AND OIC
They are afraid that because the man has
developed thick skin and has dared them to their
faces, he would not renew their oil block licenses
which are due for a review and as for OIC, you
already know better
This 2015 election is about the forces of evil and
darkness and the forces of light
Take it or leave it, Jonathan represents light and if
we must move forward as a Nation, Jonathan is
the one to be there as President from 2015 to 2019
No matter what else we do, we must never allow
the forces of evil and darkness to overrun and
takeover this Country. I am not a pessimist but
that would spell DOOM.
Nigerians Obasanjo has become so frustrated and
bitter that he reportedly tore his PDP membership
card all because Jonathan did not want to be a
titular president, a figure head who would sit in
Abuja and be taking orders from the Ota based
farmer.
Without Obasanjo's vote Jonathan WILL STILL
BECOME THE PRESIDENT because it is ONE MAN
ONE VOTE and every vote MUST COUNT and be
COUNTED
Nigerians - Think Wisely, Be Wise and Act Wisely
on the 28th of March 2015 (i.e. if INEC agrees)
