A country that did nothing when her general was killed by terrorist will not give a fvck over a former president.

FireUpNow:
This is disgraceful and shameful , FG couldn't get responsible for once

Lanretoye:
your forward reasoning has never taken you anywhere and has never changed anything…maybe you should start reasoning backwards too

Dbegining:
Very irresponsible for the FG to not lift a Former President in a direct situation like that.


Shameful really.

overdrive:
The most important take is that our Jonathan is back safe and sound even if Afghanistan brought him back, it's ok.

SmartPolician:
I'm still trying to understand the difference between Buhari and Tinubu. How can presidents be this docile yet preside over the affairs of 240 million people?

What kind of stupid talk is this? It was an emergency situation and many people hopped on the next available flight out of there.

So he should be checking if it's Nigerian plane before he entered it?

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

You cant trivilize government incompetence and un seriousness ... if that could happwn to a former president what is your fate as a common Nigeria, what is the fate of your children in trouble ... OYO thats the country we find ourselves

Tinubu had ambition of becoming president for over 20yrs .. he is president today and appears Overwhelmed, cluelezz and indecisive when it comes to resolving our long existing problem

Wait .. what exactly did Tinubu think Presidency was about .. he is either cluelezz or hesitant about national issues

UrVillageChief:
That is why it’s said that the report and the reporter were being mischievous and aiming at stroking your emotions. Ivory Coast is obviously the quickest route to and out of the troubled nation. The whole thing happened fast and unexpected and it’s not as thou the man was abandoned for days but since you love anything and material that criticizes the person and country you love to hate, you fall in line without applying ur number 6. You can criticize but common sense needs to be applied in some cases. That’s how intelligent people criticize constructively

Caught lying, once again.

Hightablevoice2:
This misleading headlines even mentioned that FG facilitated the move for Abidjan.. it just hits in the guts sometimes seeing how critizing Nigerians can be a lot of the times. Will cote'd voir just singularly out of sympathy come to Jonathan's aid. The directives obviously came from Aso Rock to make sure the quickest and fastest possible way to get him out of that country happened.. and isn't that what counts.. ?

seunmsg:
FG did not send him there and they also did not envisage a coup happening. So, they couldn’t have made arrangement to fly him out in case of emergency. In situations like that, people jump on the next available option. If the Côte D’Ivoire aircraft was the one immediately available for evacuation, it’s only sensible to jump on it instead of waiting for an aircraft from Nigeria.

What exactly are you ranting about? You and your likes are the ones playing dirty politics with this and the way you quickly made it about 2027 election even made it more obvious.

To start with, a Jonathan that has been out of office since 2015 with no political party under his control is no threat to anybody. He’s not even a threat to his local government chairman in Bayelsa not to talk of President Bola Tinubu.


And on the issue of his evacuation, I guess you expect President Tinubu to hop on the presidential jet and fly straight to Bissau to rescue him. Or you expect FG to station an aircraft at the airport anytime Jonathan or another former this and that is traveling so that they can go in for a rescue operation in case there is a need for emergency evacuation, right?


For proper context, Jonathan’s life was never in danger, he was not kidnapped or detained by anybody. A military coup happened and by standard, the airspace of the country was shut down by the coupist. Emergency evacuations are discussed over diplomatic channels with the coup plotters and you don’t just fly a plane into such country simply because you’re Nigeria. An emergency evacuation may be seen by the plotters as an attempt to foil the coup so they have to approve all flights into the country pending when stability is achieved.

Côte D’Ivoire already had a plane on ground in the country and the FG reached out to the Ivorian government to help evacuate Jonathan alongside other people. So, how’s that a problem? Why should any sane person be crying over this?

When a government turns propaganda, lies, and falsehood into state policy, it becomes a laughingstock among the comity of nations.

This is what you get when a notorious drug baron grab-it, snatch-it, and run-away-with-it

Nigeria’s global image has never been this bad.

Nigeria as a nation is being disrespected by all and sundry.
Delusional.

Anyone who loves this country should advise Tinubu to resign and go home.
