No More Goodluck Jonathan Presidency Again

Reports from social platforms and other media outlets suggest the ruling party, APC in Nigeria is aggressively working hard to recruit former president Goodluck Jonathan to be its party flagbearer in 2023 presidential election. If these reports turn out to be true, the return of Goodluck Jonathan to run for 2023 president election will be overwhelmingly rejected by Nigerian voters for many reasons.

First, President Goodluck Jonathan six years in office was a disaster for Nigeria and Nigerians. His presidency of 2009-2015 caused Boko Haran terrorist group to expand its territory of operations, increase rising Kidnapping activities and banditry industry in Nigeria. And till day, Nigeria has been unable to undo the bad things President did while in office.

In BBC article titled “Nigeria’s Goodluck Jonathan: Officials back Boko Haram” January 8, 2012, President Jonathan was asked on the worsening security situations in Nigeria and here is what he said about people involved in the insecurity “some of them are in the executive arm of government, some of them are in the parliamentary/legislative arm of government, while some of them are even in the judiciary". "Some are also in the armed forces, the police and other security agencies.".


It is obvious from the above statement by president Goodluck Jonathan, he did not have control of his government. He was not protecting the lives of Nigerians. And when he found out that members of his cabinet were supporting Boko Haram, he could not get rid of them.

Is that the kind of person you want as the next president of Nigeria in 2023?
No, I do not think so!

Second, who will ever forget President Goodluck Jonathan disastrous support for Israel to deny Palestine right to independence in 2014 at the UN? On December 30, 2014, the Nigerian government under the leadership of President Jonathan cast a key vote at the UN to deny the oppressed people of Palestine the right to gain independence from the most oppressive regime in the world—the Israeli government. Following the Nigerian government vote in the UN to deny Palestine rights to become an independence nation, President of Obama of the United States visited many African countries without going to Nigeria. The rise of hates against Nigerian people around the world really picked up in the era of Goodluck Jonathan presidency. Before Goodluck Jonathan became president of Nigeria in 2009, Nigerians were welcome in many countries. Now, Nigerians are target of violence crimes around the world.

And consider this, President Jonathan Goodluck is from one of the most oppressed tribe in Nigeria—Ijaw.

When you talk about the history of Ijaw people, you cannot forget Kenule Beeson Ken Sara Wiwa. In November 10, 1995, Ken Sara wiwa was hang to dead by then, Nigeria military ruler, Abacha for objecting to resources of his people been controlled by the federal government of Nigeria. So, for President Goodluck Jonathan to overlook the suffering of Ijaw people and to turn around to support another oppressive regime like Israeli government, in my view, really destroyed all the good things Nigeria has stood for generations. By allowing other countries to use him to destroy what Nigeria stands for, I think, truly disqualified Goodluck Jonathan from holding any public office in Nigeria.

Third, President Jonathan presidency misused of government money to try to win his 2015 reelection was a setback to development in Nigeria. International Business Times in April 4, 2015 issue, quoted President Jonathan as denying spending $10 billion to win votes, but Punch newspaper of Nigeria said President was not happy about the outcome of the election results. And as a result, President Jonathan set up a committee after he lost his re-election bid to audit how the $10 Billion budgeted for President Jonathan re-election was spent. In many public statements, President Jonathan has denied spending $10 billion to win votes---leaving people to question why he set up a committee to audit how the money was spent.

If president Jonathan did not use $10 billion from Nigeria treasury to try to win his re-election in 2015, why did he set up a committee to audit how the $10 billion was spent?
Caught in a big lie!
Liar!

Fourth, President Jonathan mishandling of Chibok girls kidnapping case raised many questions about Jonathan administration leadership skills. In 2014 over 270 school girls were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno state by militant Islamist—Boko Haram. According to Nigerian and western media reports, when President Goodluck Jonathan was first notified of the adoption, he played down the important of the kidnapping and even doubted the report. Then, his advisers claimed it was an attempt to make the president to look bad. That was not true. Every leader of a country faces many crises and as such, every leader has to be ready to address the problem from the get go. President Jonathan did not. Instead, President Jonathan only got involved in the released of Chibok girls after the world got involved. That is not a leader Nigeria is looking for today.

Finally, wasting another four years with a failed leader will set Nigeria economic development many years back. That is what will happen if former president, Goodluck Jonathan is allowed to return to power. For that, I say no more Goodluck Jonathan presidency again.

I cannot help but agree with you totally, those calling for his presidency has wicked intentions.

Jonathan should go and rest.

If APC present GEJ as their presidential candidate. The party will become history immediately.

Jonathan doesn't have the qualities to govern Nigeria. He is too docile!
