By Jide Jegede While reviewing Nigeria’s history since independence, former President Olusegun Obasanjo said the country may have been cursed with poor and irresponsible leaders. Mr. Obasanjo, who gave the keynote address at the 4th Annual Ibadan Sustainable Development Summit organised by Centre for Sustainable Development, University of Ibadan, in collaboration with African Sustainable Development Network, on Tuesday, said if Nigerians were yet to commend a leader after 53 years of independence, “Then we are jinxed and cursed; we should all go to hell.” He also condemned the younger generation of leaders in the country, saying they lack integrity and probity and have failed their people woefully. Making specific reference to his Vice President for eight years, Atiku Abubakar; former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu; former Speaker, House of Representatives, Salisu Buhari; former Bayelsa State Governor, Deprieye Alamieyeseigha; and others as younger generation of leaders, the former President said Nigeria was not lucky even with them. “We had some people who were under 50years in leadership positions. One of them was James Ibori, where is he today? One of them was Alamieyeseigha, where is he today? Lucky Igbinedion, where is he today? “The youngest was the Speaker, (Salisu) Buhari; you can still recall what happened to him. You said Bola Tinubu is your master. What Buhari did was not anything worse than what Bola Tinubu did. “We got them impeached. But in this part of the world some people covered up the other man. The man claimed he went to Government College, Ibadan but the governor (Oyo State) went to Government College and packed all the documents so that they would not know that he did not go there. “I wanted someone who would succeed me so I took Atiku. Within a year, I started seeing the type of man Atiku is. And you want me to get him there? “I once went to Tanzania because Julius Nyerere recognised Biafra. He told me not to mind his aides and others in government. They would say they have one house in town but their five year old sons and daughters would have houses all over. “Some of you who are condemning the leadership would get there tomorrow and it will be a different story. Only very few are actually good. “Abacha, my predecessor got $750m. Through our lawyer in Switzerland we recovered $1.25bn and the lawyer still said there is probably still another $1bn to be recovered. In 1979 we had 20 new ships specially built for Nigeria. When I came back 20 years after, the national shipping line had liquidated. “The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers. If you talk about human right you should also talk about human duties and obligations. “It is sad that after 53years of independence we have no leader that we can commend. The problem in Africa is that when one person takes over he would not see any good thing that his predecessor did. Let us condemn but with caution,” the former military ruler and two-term democractically elected president said. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, Isaac Adewole said he was worried about the fate that could befall the country as she holds her general elections in 2015. “We have not raised question about the scenario where 35 people found it difficult to conduct credible election in this country,” the don said in reference to the election of the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum that has polarized Nigeria’s 36 state governors. http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/nigeria-jinxed-cursed-says-former-president-obasanjo-premium-times |

Why I’m Angry With Amaechi –Patience Jonathan For the first time today, wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, gave an indication that she might be behind the crisis rocking Rivers State as she opened up on a plethora of grudges she is nursing against Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi. Mrs. Jonathan spoke in Abuja on Wednesday during a courtesy visit to the Presidential Villa by 16 bishops from the Niger Delta geo-political zone. The bishops came from a variety of denominations. A week and a half ago, the state’s political crisis degenerated into violence as law makers in the state engaged in a bloody fight using their fists and a gavel smuggled in by a group suspected to be working at the behest of First Lady Patience Jonathan. In her speech, Mrs. Jonathan stated that the crisis in Rivers State started four years ago, and then she urged the visiting clergy to pray for the state. “Rivers State issue is one thing I’ve committed to prayer because I believe there is nothing God cannot do,” she said. She then continued: “God restored me and I’ll do His work without the fear of man. The truth will always remain the truth and what God ordains must come to pass and so Rivers issue is something we’ve handed over to God.’’ Mrs. Jonathan alleged that she had always mediated between the governor and other parties in a crisis that she said began four years ago. According to her, “This matter started as far back as four years ago at Anyugubiri in Okrika when I begged him not to demolish a part of Okrika, but [that he should] dialogue first with the people.” She added: “After that incident, he called the chairman of Okrika (local government) and sacked him for holding a reception in our honor. That boy was the first victim. He also put my people on curfew for nine months. I called him and pleaded with him but he refused. Then I began to hear all sort of propaganda in the media against me. This is not the way.” Mrs. Jonathan, who also hails from Rivers State, further told the clergy: “I’ve never spoken about this issue, but as men of God, I believe you’ll say the truth always because there are a lot of conflicting interests. Some will hear one thing and say the exact opposite.” In addition, she stated: “I also want you to know the genesis of this problem and pray that God touches Amaechi’s heart as per his hot temper because when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers.” Seeming to adopt a conciliatory tone that is at odds with the violent method unleashed in Rivers State by political elements loyal to her, Mrs. Jonathan said she wanted to “appeal to Amaechi to sheathe his sword so that we can defend our state and this country with love, unity, patriotism and truth at all time.” Then she went biblical: “Hebrews 12:14 urges us to embrace peace with all men without which we cannot see God.” Mrs. Jonathan added: “Amaechi is my son, I cannot fight him and I cannot kill him. He shouldn’t be used by outsiders against his own blood because this seat is vanity. One day, no matter how long it takes, we will leave this seat. Power is not forever. This seat is vanity, others sat here and left so one day I’ll also leave and we will meet at home. So why should I fight him? Let’s take it easy, face issues, leave non-existent matters, stop magnifying lies and respect our leaders and people in authority. Let’s give peace a chance.” Prior to Mrs. Jonathan’s speech, the chairman of the leader of the Niger Delta Bishops Forum and leader of the clerical delegation, Bishop God-Do-Well Awomapara, announced that his group was “on a quest to unravel the mysteries surrounding the Rivers issue and mediate where necessary.’’ Source: http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/why-i’m-angry-amaechi-–patience-jonathan |

Governors Murtala Nyako (Adamawa State) and Babangida Aliyu (Niger) are next in line for sanction by the PDP for alleged anti-party activities, it was gathered last night. The plot to suspend them is already tearing the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party apart. The PDP has suspended two of its governors- Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers) and Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), in the last two weeks for alleged insubordination and the National Chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has warned that the party leadership will no longer tolerate indiscipline ahead of the 2015 elections. Nyako, Aliyu and Wamakko are believed to have voted for Amaechi during the disputed election of the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF). The party leadership and the presidency wanted the PDP governors to line up behind the official candidate-Governor Jonah Jang of Plateau State. Amaechi won the election by 19 votes to Jang’s 16 to the embarrassment of the Presidency and the PDP. It was gathered that NWC, during the week, received the report of a committee set up to look into some petitions allegedly written against Nyako and Babangida Aliyu by party members in their states. The committee, which has as members leading chieftains of the party, according to sources recommended the suspension of the duo. However, some NWC members are alleging interference in the work of the committee by the presidency. They say they cannot vouch for the impartiality of the panel and are kicking against the recommendation that the governors be suspended. Besides, they believe that the party is courting trouble by thinking it can take on too many governors at a time. The pro-sanction group, led by Tukur is said to be bent on implementing the recommendations of the committee. Sources said that if Tukur and his supporters have their ways, the two governors’ suspension will be announced anytime from now. Tukur is from Adamawa State and he has been having a running battle with Nyako in the struggle for the soul of the PDP in the state. A source familiar with the development said:”The situation now is that having realised that the current face-off between the governors and the presidency is affecting the popularity of the party adversely, some NWC members are urging the leadership of the party to exercise refrain in further suspending the governors. “But there are those who are determined to implement the recommendation of a committee set up to investigate allegations against Nyako and Aliyu. The two have been recommended for suspension. “The argument of those opposing further suspension is that the party’s popularity is dwindling. There is also the argument that suspending Aliyu will pitch the party and the presidency against the entire north considering his position as the chairman of Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF). “For Nyako, his suspension will be seen as a fall-out of his face-off with Tukur and this will not be good for the party’s image as a democratic organisation. But it appears the chairman and his supporters have a mandate to deliver on the suspension move. They are determined. But those opposed to the move appear to be equally insistent. That accounts for the current stalemate on the matter,” an insider source explained. Sources said the presidency, which is not backing down on its desperation to have its loyalist, Jang, recognised as the chairman of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF), is behind the plot to axe Nyako and Aliyu. A few weeks ago, the Niger State governor publicly declared that President Jonathan signed a pact to do just one term with northern elders in 2011. His relationship with the presidency and the party has been strained ever since then. Source: http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/

Tears in ma eyes. God bless you for ur invigoratingly insightful piece! |
I don't want to go into details but I well nigh died in '09 when Chidiogo Helen dealt me her deathly blow by leaving me when all seemed to be moving fine and without explanation! Don't pray to experience it! Explanation can save life and limb. |
But of course that should not be a surprise in view of what the world has become today! Madness! |
