Everybody would just like to talk to be noticed and why is that our past leaders only receive sense when they are out of office.
OBJ started talking like a human being when his third term agenda failed.
GEJ started talking sense after he had depleted our reserves with virtually nothing to show for it aside from the private jets his cronies got is now trying to behave like a patriot.
Oga GEJ, go and sit down somewhere because your advice is no longer necessary, when it was has passed. See him talking of no rigging in Ekiti but he rigged Fayose in as money was flying upandan.

Thank you, I can't remember the name of that Army officer who spilled out the recordings of how the election in Ekiti was to be rigged, he had to go underground when he was identified. His younger brother was later arrested and detained, all happened with GEJ's knowledge and approval. Same GEJ is talking about no rigging now as if he knows what rigging means.

…warns Buhari not to use powers to weaken democracy

Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is ashamed that Nigeria is now being used as a negative example in the international community.

This man must have taken sheppe before making this speech, and the sheppe must have affected is memory. It is now that he is ashamed that Nigeria is being used as negative example in the international community. When he was ferrying plane loads of money to South Africa, causing diplomatic embarrassment for Nigeria, he was not ashamed then, when he was christened fortunato in Italy, he was not ashamed then, when her almost turn Nigeria to a pariah state as most countries refused to deal with us, he was not ashamed then.


He cited recent instances when the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, mocked the poor state of security in Nigeria and the naira’s weakening status.

What was the state of security when he was head of State. When Boko Haram was attacking Abuja, a few miles from Aso Rock, he was not ashamed when Boko Haram was in control of 14 local governments.


The former President lamented that things were so bad in the country that Nigeria had lost its respect in Africa.

And Nigeria had respect in Africa when Morocco was expelling our diplomats. When was there respect for Nigeria more in the international community, during his administration or during Buhari's administration?


He said, “He (Ghanaian President) said Ghana is not like Nigeria where cattle roam the streets.
And cows were not roaming the streets when you were in government?
Read this report to refresh your memory;



Safety issues: Cows on our roads
ADEKUNLE
3 OCT 2014
Cows have caused several accidents that claimed lives on our roads, yet nothing has been done about them. Last week in Abuja, a friend escaped accident near Asokoro District because some cows were crossing the road and the herdsmen tried to protect the younger ones from oncoming vehicles by standing at the center of the road, wielding his sword! You can run into cows anywhere in this country, and the question remains, why can’t Nigeria control cows?
https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2014/10/safety-issues-cows-roads/amp/



“I feel ashamed as a former President that the president of a neighbouring country used Nigeria as negative examples.


Have you forgotten that during your tenure all our neighbouring countries were not on good terms with us?

“If a neighbouring African president will use Nigeria to make negative examples, then we as leaders must know certain things are wrong in the country. That means we as leaders must change the way we do things.”

The bolded part of the statement is the most sober part of the whole speech. All Nigerian leaders including Jonathan is responsible for the mess we find ourselves today, no one can be exonerated.



Jonathan also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to resist pressure to rig the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State and subsequent elections in the country.

And he did not resist the pressure to rig the election that brought in Fayose. Does he think we all have amnesia (of course PDP and it's allies have selective amnesia ). Jonathan used the military and the federal purse, with Obanikoro as point man to rig the last Ekiti Elections.



Jonathan also defended Nigerian youths, saying they were one of the best in the world and should not be branded lazy as recently remarked by Buhari.

“We must encourage young people to work hard. I don’t think Nigerian youths are lazy, I have worked with some of them in my cabinet as governor and president. Nigerian youths are great people with intelligence,” he said.

You do not think, or you know Nigerian youths are not lazy? Even your governor seem to think Bayelsa youths are lazy.

Bayelsans are so lazy, they want everything free, they are not ready to work, how do i repair the turbine when no one is ready to pay for services"
- Gov. Dickson on media Chat.

This is just a political speech in preparation for 2019.

Don't mind them.

Jonathan and PDP resisted the use of card readers.

They postponed the election to see if they could gain grounds that had been lost, bribing all the "bribables".

Check out the campaign and results of Rivers state.

Have we forgotten how on live TV they shot up the place?

Up till the last moment Orubebe attempted a situation far worse then Senate mace theft.

A president who didn't try to intimidate or jail APC members and Buhari to keep them from election..

A president who believed so much in democracy he didn't even challenge his loss, called and congratulated Buhari.. even though there was significant proof of rigging in the north...

A president who didn't want any bloodshed.. unlike the murderous fundamentalist Buhari who started rampage killings with his bitter utterances every time he lost in the past.

…warns Buhari not to use powers to weaken democracy

Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado Ekiti

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says he is ashamed that Nigeria is now being used as a negative example in the international community.

He cited recent instances when the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, mocked the poor state of security in Nigeria and the naira’s weakening status.

Jonathan spoke at the inauguration of the first bridge built by Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State in Ado Ekiti, the state capital, on Friday night.

The former President lamented that things were so bad in the country that Nigeria had lost its respect in Africa.

He said, “He (Ghanaian President) said Ghana is not like Nigeria where cattle roam the streets. At another occasion in the United Kingdom, he made scathing remarks about Nigeria’s currency.

“I feel ashamed as a former President that the president of a neighbouring country used Nigeria as negative examples.

“If a neighbouring African president will use Nigeria to make negative examples, then we as leaders must know certain things are wrong in the country. That means we as leaders must change the way we do things.”


The former President, therefore, urged Nigerian leaders to show serious concern, noting that many things had gone wrong in the country.

Jonathan also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to resist pressure to rig the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State and subsequent elections in the country.

He praised the people of Ekiti for their support for the Peoples Democratic Party, urging them to support the youthful candidates of the party in the election.

The party has elected 50-year-old Deputy Governor, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, and 39-year-old Deji Ogunsakin as his running mate.

Jonathan described Fayose as an exemplary leader and loyal party man, who had done the PDP proud in all areas.

He said, “I don’t believe anybody can defeat the PDP in Ekiti if election is going to be held.”

He said, “I use this opportunity to call on Mr. President because I was there before. When you are there, there is so much pressure on you to use your power to subjugate democracy.

“Don’t do that because when you are going; the only thing you leave behind is your good name. If you use it wrongly, posterity will haunt you. I call on Mr. President to use his power to strengthen democracy.”


Jonathan also defended Nigerian youths, saying they were one of the best in the world and should not be branded lazy as recently remarked by Buhari.

“We must encourage young people to work hard. I don’t think Nigerian youths are lazy, I have worked with some of them in my cabinet as governor and president. Nigerian youths are great people with intelligence,” he said.

At the event, Governor Ayodele Fayose said the 77-member election committee raised by the All Progressives Congress for the Ekiti governorship election showed the desperation of the party to win at all costs.

“I will defeat them by the grace of God,” he said.

You have a short memory bro. Jonathan administration closed down many newspaper offices several times. He attacked APC officials many times and also rigged in the South South during the election. And will you deny he rigged Fayose in?
