Former President Goodluck Jonathan

Renowned Professor of International Law, Emmanuel Esiemokhai, has said the reason the last administration failed was because former President Goodluck Jonathan lacked requisite knowledge and exposure for governance.
The veteran teacher, who stated this in his office at the NICON Insurance Building in Abuja at the weekend, said Jonathan and the late President Musa Ya’Adua were imposed on the nation by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, as a “punishment” over his inability to secure third term in office.
Esiemokhai, who claimed he had worked with Chief Obasanjo before he became President said: “He (Obasanjo) imposed Jonathan, a man who studied fisheries, although he got a PhD, but totally irrelevant to governance; no philosophy, no law, no economics, no sociology. How can you run a country without knowledge? “Then, Obasanjo and E. K. Clark were in a race to influence Jonathan. Obasanjo would tell Jonathan: ‘this is what I think should happen.’ E. K. Clark would tell Jonathan: ‘this is what should be done.’
“As a result, there was total misguidance. The young man was confused. Since he didn’t study relevant subject; that was why we got the mess.”
When reminded that the Bayelsa-born President had held prominent positions of leadership in the country before his ascension to the Presidency, the Edo-born septuagenarian said: “No, I disagree totally. Knowledge-based governance is different from guess work. It is different from the advice of advisers. It is different from guessing. “What experience did Jonathan have? He finished his PhD (in Port Harcourt). He studied primary school in Port Harcourt, secondary school in Port Harcourt. The only time he left his enclave was when he went to Osun State for National Youth Service programme.

and your professorship irrelevant to academics cos you speak rubbish

Paper certificates does not give you the prerequisites skills to govern or lead
For me , the most underrated skill is power of knowing your shortcomings and finding true leaders to fill up those gaps .
Not a few of Nigerian policians are incompetent but they think that they are the greatest ever.

It is (was) an open secret

I totally concur

Building in Abuja at the weekend, said Jonathan and the late President Musa Ya’Adua were imposed on the nation by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, as a “punishment” over his inability to secure third term in office
