In an article titled Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who
is the fittest of them all? (supposedly) written by
former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, the
footballer comes for the APC presidential
candidate, questioning his health and praising
president Jonathan's physical condition. They
sent it to me as a press statement saying Yobo
wrote it. Who knew he could write like this?
Read below...
For the sake of clarity, I must first point
out that while all work and no play makes
Jack a dull boy, it is all work and no
exercise that makes him an unfit one.
From all indications earlier in the week,
Friday 7th March, 2015 was meant to be a
busy day for members and supporters of
both the ruling People's Democratic Party
and the opposition APC.
In Abuja, there was a scheduled fitness march
to keep the blood of Nigerian sports people
along with party hierarchy and President
Goodluck Jonathan, buzzing. An equivalent
march in Lagos, billed initially to be a million-
man march of opposition members was to hold
in Lagos from Maryland to Teslim Balogun
Stadium, Surulere.
As early as 8am, I and several other supporters
of the President walked with him from Aso Rock
to Eagle Square where we also jogged around.
Some of the pictures from the walk have been
swarming social media; one in particular stood
out. It was that of President Jonathan doing the
hop in an aerobics session. Pictures of him
working out in the gym have surfaced from time
to time and this further proved that the man is
mentally and physically fit to rule Nigeria.
Immediately after the rally ended at 11am, he
went back to the State House, freshened up and
flew to pay courtesy visits to the Ooni of Ife and
Owa Obokun of Ijesaland and attend rallies in
their domain.
Enter General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). After
he and his party played hide-and-seek with
Nigerians over his whereabouts, the man
returned to the country and was conspicuously
missing from a march that was the perfect
opportunity for him and the top party brass to
reassure their supporters that he was fit as a
fiddle. The job of president of a country with
over 170 million people is a tasking one and
surely it would have been convenient for a man
who insists he was on a two-week rest to have
at least walked with the people who will vote
him for say one-thirds of the march? The party
chieftains including Bola Tinubu and even its
vice-presidential candidate, Prof. Yomi Osinbajo
were present at the final stop, so why was the
arrowhead of the campaign missing in action?
Why is the opposition shoving in our youthful
faces, a grandfather who needs rest, an elder
statesman who ought to be chilling in his
country home in times like this? Assuming their
candidate wins the presidential elections, will he
disappear periodically too?
Nigerians must take a stand and decide to do
what is right. Seeing is believing; we cannot
saddle ourselves with a President whose health
challenges will affect his output in office.
General Buhari was once a gallant soldier but
no one can cheat nature.
I, who by the grace of God and the support of
sports loving President Jonathan led the Super
Eagles to historic victory in the Africa Cup of
Nations after a trophy less 19 years and having
played football at the highest levels can boldly
affirm that the secret to the game is in
endurance, and the events of recent times point
us to the fact that Nigeria needs just the man
who stood and can last. The Game is on.

Eagles and 2014 AFCON Winner

The exhibition of stupidity that has followed the pictures of GEJ's physical exercise tells how stupid some folks are.

Goodluck Jonathan has been the most unfit human being to lead a nation. Leadership is not a joke.

Somebody should please tell Yobo to focus on resusitating his already nose diving career, and stop pocknosing into his grandfather's political career. Thanks.

Joseph Yobo kwa?
Don't worry, e go soon clear for your eye as you no gree see the handwriting on the wall
