PoliticsPDP Governors Want Jega Out for insisting use of card reader by Bashirfuntua(op): 1:53pm On Mar 11, 2015
The Peoples Democratic Party
Governors Forum (PDPGF) has passed a vote
of no confidence on the Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC), Prof Attahiru Jega, reports Punch.
The governors, at an interactive session with
the media and civil society organisations in
Lagos on Tuesday, said recent happenings in
INEC show that Jega may be acting a script
by insisting on the use of card readers for
the March 28 and April 11 general elections.
They noted that prior to 2011, Jega was
seen as a man of integrity and that was why
he was appointed by President Goodluck
Jonathan.
They, however, said current happenings in
INEC were beginning to prove otherwise.

GEJ: I underestimate Boko haram.
Azazi: PDP is boko haram.
OBJ to GEJ: Tell me truth what do you say is your reason when i tell you to crush the boko boys
PDP: GMB is the sponsored of boko haram. but no proof.
Muslim groups: Boko haram is non Islamic
Nigeria Army: we fail to crush away boko haram in 6 years but now will do that in 6 weeks.
NOTE: Boko haram kill more than 15,000 Nigerians and displayed more than 2,000,000. 3 times more than the population of Bayelsa.
My take on: if boko haram are killing Bayelsans will GEJ still underestimate them?
28march is the day
vote wisely
before Nigeria will turn to boko haram republic.
GMB may not be the best, but far better than GEJ.

D

ear Dame Patience Faka Jonathan: I
hope all is well with you and your family?
Let me begin by apologising for
conveying this message to you through
this medium. If it were possible, I would have
preferred to converse with you directly to obviate
the public backlash that may likely be
occasioned by this open letter.
First Lady Patience Jonathan
However, I just had to perish the thought of
communicating my concerns to you 'one on one'
owing to the unbeatable protocol associated with
you and the countless combat ready armed
security officers that follow you all the time
except maybe when you are passing feces or
attending to your conjugal obligations. That is if
you still have time for that given your deep
involvement in state affairs. Let me also
apologise for the frequent use of the pronoun 'I'
in this letter. It is not indicative of ego or self -
glorification but unavoidable in view of the very
nature of this piece.
Madam, be rest assured that before writing this
long innocuous letter, I had dispassionately
ruminated over the possible consequences of an
'ordinary' citizen like me engaging the most
'vociferous', powerful and dreaded woman of the
most populous black nation on earth. I equally
adverted my mind to the fact that you are not
only a married woman but the wife of the
President and Commander - In - Chief of the
Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I did that because in my culture, it is not
permissible to express perceivable insolence
towards a married woman.
Let me quickly state that this cultural immunity
is not rigid. The immunity is liable to be
disregarded, taken away or waived. When a
married woman exudes total contempt for
acceptable cultural, moral, ethical and legal
prescriptions and standards without reference
and regard to her marital status she is deemed
to have waived this immunity and will be treated
like any other person. Madam, as someone who
aspires to be with God in Heaven on the last day,
can you honestly say that your public conduct
and utterances entitles you to this cultural
marital respect and immunity?.
Just in case you are oblivious of the non -
recognition of the office of the First Lady by the
1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria (as amended) and by any other law in
Nigeria, may I humbly put you on notice that a
'First Lady' whether of Nigeria or of a state of
the federation is and remains and
unconstitutional being. It is a creation of the
society and the political class not law.
Being the wife of the president or governor does
not make one a public officer; it does not confer
any legally cognisable privilege or right. You
were quoted by a section of the media sometime
ago while deprecating your state governor, Mr.
Rotimi Amaechi for demolishing waterfront
settlements in Port Harcourt as saying that you
are "the highest political office holder from
Rivers State". If indeed you said so, then
something is wrong. If you doubt my
submission, please consult your lawyer for legal
advice.
Whatever respect and recognition is accorded
you and wives of governors by other citizens of
this country is purely out of courtesy. It is not
because they stand to lose anything if they don't
respect you. It does not also imply that they
regard you as anything more than what you are;
a woman that happens to be the wife of the
president. Recall that Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole
Soyinka had admonished you in the past to first
be a lady before being a "first lady". He also
described you as a "mere domestic appendage ".
Mr. Soyinka actually spoke the minds of millions
of Nigerians especially we the "collective children
of anger".
Madam, in the past few days, you've been
polluting the already murky waters of our politics
with inciting, reprehensible and nauseating
utterances targeted at an individual that has not
offended you in any way; an individual whose
only 'transgression' is his patriotic aspiration to
rescue our nation from the very agonising
precipice that your beloved husband has taken it
to. This man to the best of my knowledge has
never said anything offensive about you. His
wife, has never disparage your darling husband.
During one of your recent needless campaign
tour(s), you reportedly described the presidential
candidate of the opposition All Progressives
Congress ( APC ), General Muhammadu Buhari
as "brain dead". An unfortunate outburst that has
been upheld and reiterated by the spokesperson
of your husband's second term campaign
organization, Mr. Femi Fani-Kayode who is
presently standing trial on corruption charges.
Haba Madam! Is it not you that is called 'Mama
Peace'? Are you no longer the founder and
president of the African First Ladies Peace
Mission?. So why instigate violence and rancour?
Why are you making statements that are capable
of derailing our electoral process?
It is widely reported in the media that you are at
war with the governor of your husband's home
state, Bayelsa, Mr. Seriake Dickson. We
understand this cold war has adversely affected
the electoral fortunes of your husband in the
state and there appears to be no sign of
resolution at the moment. Cases of political
rivalry abound in other parts of the country
because of your meddlesome and autocratic
actions in the politics and affairs of this country.
Please do not get me wrong, it is not my wish
that you or the future wives of presidents and
governors of this country be confined to the
kitchen. Indeed, I am an advocate of women
emancipation. I don't subscribe to any kind of
gender discrimination because we are all children
of God with fundamental right under
Constitution. I believe that women have equal
leadership capabilities with men and should not
be relegated in politics.
However, in saner climes, first ladies only play
ceremonial roles. They don't arrogate
governmental powers to themselves to the
detriment of their country. So why is your case
different? Is it because your husband has
contributed in making Nigeria a lawless nation
where anything goes? Or could it possibly be
because one dishonourable member of the Rivers
State House of Assembly referred to you as his
"jesus christ"?
Dear first lady, you are not the first woman on
planet earth whose husband is privileged to be
the president of a country. Others were before
you, and many will be after you. So there is
nothing peculiar or spiritual in being the wife of
the president of a country. I am emphasising this
point because it's time you stop tormenting the
soul of this country. It's time you retrace your
steps and retreat from your inglorious war of
attrition and campaign of calumny against weak
and innocent people. Why should Lagos, Rivers
and other states be shut down because of your
visits? Why should innocent citizens be subjected
to untold hardship because of your movement
(s )?.
God forbid that I should willfully set out to
crucify or denigrate you. If not for anything, you
are old enough to be my mother. But I cannot
imagine a woman that gave birth to me
recklessly exercising totalitarian, absolute and
arbitrary powers at the peril of innocent people
simply because her husband is the president of
the country. No self - respecting woman will act
and talk in a manner capable of portraying her
husband as weak and irresponsible.
There is a school of thought that postulates that
the wife of a president is the 'mother' of the
nation. Supposing that postulation is plausible
and tenable, then you're the mother of Nigeria. If
that is the case, please treat other citizens as
your children. When a child is hungry ( as
Nigerians are ) it is the duty of a responsible
mother to give them food not sorrow, tears and
stones. Please, I urge you in the name of
whatever you venerate to treat and address
people with respect and dignity so that they can
reciprocate same.
Always be mindful of the fact that Nigeria is
greater than the first family. It is greater than
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. Without Nigeria, there
will be no country for your husband to lead. And
without your husband you will not be the wife of
the president. Also, please take out time to
appease those you have wrongly hurt these past
years because your days in Aso Rock are
numbered. Nigerians are tired of the lies, excuses
and failings of your husband.
Nigerians are not prepared to tolerate another
four years of the locust. In 2011, your husband
told us the story of his humble and undignified
childhood; that he had no shoes. We were
seduced, we voted for him in the hope that he
will appreciate the historical significance of his
election. Instead of paying us back with
responsible and God fearing leadership, he took
away our tattered slippers and gave it to the
dogs. Now again, he thinks his ethnic, religious
and hypocritical messages will secure him a
second term.
Chai, there is God ooo!
