Politics › Re: PDP Crisis: Jonathan Tells Elders To Shun Obasanjo by mannobi(m): 4:44am On Sep 06, 2013
atlwireles: Even before it got off the drawing board, former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s plan to lead the peace moves in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has collapsed.
The meeting of elders to resolve the party’s crises was slated for today in Abuja.
It was “technically” called off last night at the Presidency’s prompting, The Nation learnt.
President Goodluck Jonathan, it was said, advised the elders to shun the meeting, following intelligence reports that Obasanjo was behind the crises.
The former President could not be reached last night.
Among the elders expected at the meeting are former chairmen and notable leaders.
A pre-meeting session of some governors at the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge went on for hours last night.
It was not clear what was discussed, but the news about the Obasanjo mission may have been broken.
“All was well, until this evening when we learnt the President was opposed to Obasanjo presiding at the meeting,” a source said, adding: “He believes that Obasanjo is the architect of the crises; he shouldn’t be called to settle it and be seen as a peacemaker.”
The meeting slated for next Tuesday will hold. President Jonathan will preside.
Brickbats continued to fly yesterday amid shaky efforts to rescue the PDP.
A group loyal to President Jonathan also accused Obasanjo of being the architect of the crises. He should call his associates in the Kawu Baraje faction of the party to order, the Media Network for Transformation (MNT) said.
The group said Obasanjo could not continue to be the hand of Esau and the voice of Jacob at the same time.
In a statement in Abuja, signed by its Coordinator, Mr. Goodluck Ebelo, the MNT urged Obasanjo to either renounce his associates in the New PDP or be treated like those rated as rebels by the party.
The group said “no arbiter, who is the guiding light of the rebels can make peace”.
To the President’s camp, Obasanjo is the unseen hand pulling the string of crises in the ruling party. There is suspicion in the Presidency over his peace mission.
Some governors were meeting last night at the Rivers Governor’s Lodge in Abuja ahead of today’s meeting.
National Chairman Bamanga Tukur yesterday described members of the Kawu Baraje faction as “prodigal sons” who would be accepted back into the fold, if they retraced their steps.
But the Baraje faction told Tukur that his “time is up”.
The statement said: “We call on former President Olusegun Obasanjo to call his associates to order. Apart from being their sponsor, the rebel governors draw their inspiration from him.
“Apart from numerous clandestine meetings, former President Obasanjo started his public romance with the rebel flank when he became unavoidably absent at this year’s Democracy Day celebration in Abuja, but vigorously participated in the day’s activities in Dutse, Jigawa State. That was followed by the rebel governors’ visit to his Abeokuta home.
“Then came last Saturday, and Chief Obasanjo’s mischief literarily flew over the Eagle Square venue of the Special Convention. Unavoidably absent, again, he was to turn up the next day in church, at the Presidential Villa, made a few platitudinous remarks on the need for a peaceful resolution of the crisis and thereafter called a meeting . His meeting failed and will continue to fail.
“Obasanjo cannot continue to be hands of Esau and the voice of Jacob at the same time. No arbiter, who is the guiding light of the rebels, can make peace. Peace, in this matter, will continue to elude President Obasanjo because his activities are the very antithesis of the conditions precedent to peace.”
The group said it suspected that Obasanjo cannot resolve the crisis in the party with alleged partisan interest.
The statement added: “Unfortunately, his eight years in office provides no road map to resolving a political dispute. All that can be gleaned from the debris of his time in power are abuse of institutions of State in shutting down dissent, hounding political opponents into prison and forcing a party chairman to resign …. Little wonder that such baleful legacy dogs his attempt at making peace.
“President Obasanjo has to come out publicly to renounce his ties with the seven governors who are trying to impose their will on the remaining 29 states and the Federal Capital Territory or acknowledge them and be treated like them.”
President Jonathan is yet to speak on his political future, but MNT said he is free to run again. It said: “The governors are welcome to contest the PDP primaries, individually or present a candidate. That’s democracy. But for persons, who themselves, stood for elections for their second terms to demand that Mr. President cannot avail himself such amenity is not only rude but feudal.”
Obasanjo’s media aide Vitalis Ortese declined to comment on the statement credited to the group last night.
“I cannot speak on what a faceless group is saying”, he told our reporter on the telephone.

Politics › Re: President Jonathan's Job Approval Rating Peaks At 57% For August 2013. by mannobi(m): 10:06pm On Sep 03, 2013
[quote author=St. Edwin]http://noi-polls.com/index.php?s_id=3&p_id=262&p_pt=1&parent=13#.UiZJzmYpBoN


President's Job Approval Rating Reaches Peak of 57% in August 2013

Abuja, Nigeria. September 3rd, 2013 – Latest monthly governance poll result released by NOIPolls Limited has revealed that almost 6 in 10 (57%) Nigerians approve of President Goodluck Jonathan’s job performance in the month of August 2013. This current score depicts a 4-Point increase in the job approval rating of the President from July (53%) to August (57%)and also marks the highest approval rating the President has scored since January 2013. Furthermore, same as in July, the results indicated that 42% of Nigerians rated the performance of the current administration as average. However, there was a slight decline (2-point) in the proportion of Nigerians (36%) that had experienced some improvements in the power supply in August. Despite this slight decline, the President’s approval rating continued to soar, particularly in the South-East (76%), North Central (70%) and South-South (66%) regions. These were the key findings from the Governance Snap Poll conducted in the week of August 26th 2013. 

The results presented are the eighth in the monthly series of governance polls conducted by NOI Polls to gauge the opinions and perceptions of Nigerians regarding three crucial elements – the approval rating of the president, the performance of the current administration, and the situation of power supplyin the country.

Respondents to the poll were asked three specific questions. Firstly, in order to gauge the approval rating of President Goodluck Jonathan over the past 1 month (August) respondents were asked: Do you approve or disapprove of the performance of President Jonathan in the past 1 month?: The result from this question revealed that, overall, almost 6 in 10 Nigerians surveyed (57%: 14%+43%) approve of the President’s job performance over the past month, where 14% strongly approve and 43% approve. These figures clearly depict a 4-point increase in the proportion of Nigerians that approve of the President’s performance from July (53%) to August (57%); and emerged as the best rating so far in eight months. Comparatively, a total of 19% of respondents indicated disapproval of the President’s performance, with 15% indicating they disapprove and 4% strongly disapprove, while, 24% of the respondents remained neutral in rating his performance as they neither approve nor disapprove. 

Assessing the President’s performance across geo-political zones showed that the South-East  had the highest proportion of respondents that approved of the President’s performance in the past one month up from 72% in July. This is followed by the North-Central zone with 70% (26%+44%) up from 56% in July and the South-South zone with 66% (12%+54%) up from 62% in July. The highest proportion of respondents that disapproved of the President’s performance were from the North-West zone with 31% (28%+3%) down from 40% in July, followed by the North-East zone with 26% (14%+12%) down from 31% in July. The largest number of respondents that were neutral towards the president’s performance was from the South-West zone with 33% up from 26% in July. In addition, more female (60%) than male (54%) respondents approve of the President’s job performance.

A general assessment of the president’s rating in an eight months series showed that the approval rating of the President’s performance initially experienced an increase from January (50%) to February (54%),and then experienced a continuous decline from February to April (42%). Afterwards, it increased in May (44%) and was stable in June and has experienced a continuous increase in three months from June(44%) to August (57%); the highest rating so far in 2013.  

Secondly, in order to measure the performance of the current administration respondents were asked:How would you rate the performance of this current administration in the past 1 month? Overall, the majority (42%) are of the opinion that the current administration has performed averagely. In addition, while a total of 35% indicated they performed well, where 8% said they’ve performed very well and 27% said they’ve performed well; 23% rated their performance as poor, with 4% percent saying they’ve performed very poorly and 19% saying they’ve performed poorly. Furthermore, similar to the President’s approval rating, the 35% positive rating of the administration marks a 7-point increase from the 28% in July 2013.

Gauging these results across geo-political zones further revealed that the South-South zone had the highest proportion of respondents (54%) that rated the performance of the current administration as average. In addition, while the South-East zone records the highest number of respondents (49%) that rated the performance of the current administration positively, the North-East (34%) accounted for the highest number of respondents that rated their performance negatively.

Again, an assessment of the performance of the current administration in eight months revealed that the job approval rating of the current administration experienced an increase from January (22%) to February (24%) and then declined in two months consecutively till April (16%). From the month of May(21%) it again experienced a continuous increase till August (35%), which represents the highest figures in eight months.

Lastly, in order to evaluate the general situation of power in Nigeria within the past month, respondents were asked: How would you describe power in your area in the past 1 month? Findings revealed that overall, 36% (5%+31%) of Nigerians experienced an improvement in the power situation over the past month, where 5% experienced very much improvement and 31% experienced little improvement.  In addition, (27%) of the respondents were of the opinion that “it remains bad”, 21% indicated that “there’s no difference at all”, while 16% of the respondents stated that the power situation “is very bad and has gone worse”.

Analysis based on geo-political zones showed that, majority of the respondents that experienced an improvement in the power situation in August were from the South-South zone (53%). The North-Central zones with 29% represents the highest number of respondents that say “there’s no difference at all” in the power situation over the past month. In addition, the North-East zone accounted for the highest proportion of respondents (42%) that indicated power supply in their area “remains bad” while the South-West zone (26%) accounted for the most number of respondents that say “it’s very bad has gone worse”.

An overview of the power situation in eight months depicts a 2-points decline in the proportion of respondents that experienced improvement in the power situation in their area compared to July’s 38% score. Findings also revealed that January and February recorded the best power ratings with 47% and44% respectively, while March & April (31% each) recorded the lowest proportion of respondents that experienced an improvement.

In conclusion, findings from the current poll have revealed that the President’s performance rating reached its peak in eight months at 57%. This figure depicts a 4-Point increase in the approval rating of the President’s performance from July (53%) to August (57%). Also, 42% of respondents were of the opinion that the administration performed averagely. Interestingly, there was a 2-points decline in the proportion of Nigerians that had experienced improvements in power supply for the month of August(36%) compared to July (38%). However, despite the decline, the President’s job approval rating still soared; suggesting that beyond power supply, the President’s performance on other critical areas of the economy & polity may be responsible for his continued positive ratings. Perhaps media reports around heightened security & reported death of Abubakar Shekau, the strides in railway transportation & commencement of rail haulage from Lagos to Kano, as well as the formal opening of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport & the maiden flight of Ethiopian Airlines, which will serve as a major economic booster, may have endeared respondents; particularly in the South-East region where the President had the highest job approval rating of 76%. 

Survey Methods

The opinion poll was conducted on August 26th to 28th 2013. It involved telephone interviews of a random nationwide sample. 1,004 randomly selected phone-owning Nigerians aged 18 years and above, representing the six geopolitical zones in the country, were interviewed. With a sample of this size, we can say with 95% confidence that the results obtained are statistically precise - within a range of plus or minus 3%. NOIPolls Limited is Nigeria’s leading opinion polling and research organisation, which works in technical partnership with the Gallup Organisation (USA), to conduct periodic opinion polls and studies on various socio-economic and political issues in Nigeria.
