Be aggressive, Danjuma tells Jonathan


The chairman of the presidential Advisory Committee,Gen Theophilus Danjuma (RTD), GCON, has advised the Acting President Goodluck Jonathan to act fast and aggressively effect the needed transformation in the country.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the 25-man committee which was held at the council chambers of the presidential villa, today, he urged Mr. Jonathan to make the fight against corruption pro-active rather than reactive.

“This is a decisive moment in our history,” he said. “At such moments God always ensures that a nation possesses significant personalities who are to act as his agents for change. You, Mr. Acting President, are the significant personality that God has chosen at this time to take your place at the front in the struggle to save our country. Because the times are extra-ordinary, the measures that need to be taken are not only urgent but also extra-ordinary.”

He added that “unless you take those measures quickly the goodwill which you now enjoy may be lost.”

Very apt advice,he should proceed to disband the present brigade of guards and constitute a new one,redeploy the present chief of army staff(so he wont have to look over his shoulders the entire period he'll be acting president and president),reconstitute the Federal cabinet(to weed out all disloyal ministers that may proveto be fatal moles and fifth columnists),order a re-trial if James Ibori,tackle the problem of fuel scarcity and power outage in the country,then finally address the pervasive issue of general insecurity in Nigeria

I hope jonathan listens and act fast cos its time for action! He should strive to make a difference and not follow the path of former corrupt leaders that brought nigeria to the present crossroads of crisis.

Since when did Danjuma giv a damn about nigeria?
Maybe he wants him to be aggressive so he can get killed. Jonathan doesn't want to die.

If Jonathan is not ready to die then he's not ready to be a president. What do you want him to do, lay down like Shonekan and get tossed out ?

I hope Danjuma has real advice for Jonathan. We all know soldiers are always thinking from the viewpoint of aggression, so no surprise there.

Jonathan needs clear recommendations on what needs to be DONE aggresively.

LOL

About the clear directions,don't forget Jonathan still has his own advisers,ministers etc,so I think he has a fair idea of the clear recommendations he needs to pursue aggressively.The 25-man advisory cottee is amongst other things a group intended to shore up the support base of the acting president

Jonathan is aggressively SLOW.

Boboribo:

Jonathan is aggressively SLOW.

Perhaps he is slow. But he is fighting principalities and powers almost single handedly, he has been building up his own power base outside of the cabal (eg the 26 man advisory council which Danjuma is part of that). You will recall that the governors and PDP were upset because he did not consult them in forming the advisory council (who the Bleep do they think they are?). Also, yesterday he locked the Minister of Defence and the FCT Minister out of the swearing in of his advisory council for being late.

Jonathan might be slow (which can be annoying), but taking time a being deliberate does not equate to being ineffective. Lets give him a week or two before coming to any conclusions.

I would take the advise but I won't implement it like Danjuma expects. Right now Jonathan is like an antelope in the land of wolves. He has to be very careful. In fact he has to use his head and be very sneaky as well. I can't say this enough. Nigerian seat of power is heavily tilted in favor of the north (especially the military) and they won't let him change anything. If he must die trying to save the nation, then let his death bring something positively revolutionary. I don't want him to die like Ironsi. I still don't trust Danjuma.

Ofcourse, the economy will be affected.
How many people will wanna go and invest money in Nigeria as we speak?

Nobody,no cabal,no group;whether ministers,assmeblymen,serving governors or former corrupt governors has any right to appropriate Nigeria,Obasanjo said so and I agree.

Jonathan should note it and be firm and decisive

If Jonathan becomes aggressive, has Danjuma considered the jail most suitable for himself first? What a suicidal advise.

Danjuma killed Ironsi for not being aggressive.

Hmmnnn. This period is not the best for Acting President Jonathan. Too many friends in the name of advicers have risen up overnight. Jonathan must be having sleepless nights over his present position. Indeed, uneasy lies the head that wears the crown!
