Niger Delta Will Suffer For Jonathan's Action -obasanjo by hardeiluxie: 11:22am On Jul 18, 2015 |
Former president Olusegun Obasanjo has said the Niger Delta
region will suffer for the actions and inactions of the immediate
past president, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.
Jonathan, who lost the March 28 presidential
election to President Mohammadu Buhari hails
from Bayelsa, a state in the Niger Delta.
Obasanjo spoke while responding to questions
shortly after delivering a convocation lecture at
the Benson Idahosa University, Benin City.
The ex-president said he couldn’t have helped
Jonathan to do his job as Nigeria President after
helping him to secure the position.
He said, “I became the Head of State because of
my performance in the war front. If General
Gowon had not sent me to the war front, he
would not know whether I could perform or not.
He sent me to the war front and because I
performed, we both shared the credit. But if I had
failed, he would not have shared the
condemnation with me. I would have taken that
alone.
“I believe that the opportunity that afforded itself
in 2010 was for somebody from the minority to
on his self esteem become the President of
Nigeria. We should never lose such opportunity.
What he did with that opportunity is entirely up
to him. What he did or did not do with it will
reflect for a long time on that part of the country.
There is no particular person who got there
without the people.” 1 Like
