U.S. Cable Says - Jonathan Ineffective As Governor

Habeeb I. Pindiga and Mohammed S. Shehu

6 September 2011

President Goodluck Jonathan had a "chequered past as a corrupt and ineffective state governor", according to a secret United States diplomatic cable leaked by whistle-blowing website Wikileaks.

The U.S. cable was prepared by its embassy in Abuja and sent to Washington in the wake of the terminal illness of then President Umaru Yar'adua, and was expressing fears over Jonathan's competence as he waited in the wings to take over in the event of Yar'adua's death.

The cable, dated December 1, 2009, said, "Dark rumors about Yar'adua's health have given way to broad fears that Yar'adua is likely entering his final days. Even if he defies the odds and returns to resume his duties, at least nominally, his authority has taken such a battering that he would be hard pressed to keep rivals in check, much less enforce his writ in government and the party. We will report on December 2 Vice President Jonathan's chequered past as a corrupt and ineffective state governor and his options in the current situation."

The cable did not state specifically what made the Americans formed this opinion about Jonathan. But another U.S. cable said in September 2006, the Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC) seized USD 13.5 million from Jonathan's wife Patience at an airport. "Reports indicated the money was laundered through an associate; Jonathan managed to distance himself from the deal. The anti-graft commission investigating the source of the money has reported no findings to date. Although Jonathan's name was on the 2006 list of governors accused of corruption, he has not been publicly charged," the cable, created in 2007, explained.

When contacted for comments on the contents of the U.S. cables, Jonathan's spokesman Dr. Reuben Abati said, "These issues are totally immaterial in the present circumstance. I cannot react to it because my brief at the moment is that I speak for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not the governor of Bayelsa State. In fact, you should understand that Wikileaks is about conversations between people, it is about peoples' opinion on a particular matter. So, I have nothing to say on that."

The December 1, 2009 cable also quoted former information minister Professor Dora Akunyili as telling U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders that the then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan was "symbolically in charge", but was afraid to exercise any authority.

She was quoted as telling the U.S. official that "the country is in a real mess as Yar'adua has been in and out of a comatose state since his arrival in Saudi, only coming out briefly afternoon of November 30, and since then he has been in a coma."

The report said when the Ambassador asked who was really running the day-to-day tasks of the country "as in the past it had unofficially been National Security Advisor Muktar and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), the former Information Minister admitted that this remained the case, but noted that Jonathan wanted to step into the light more, but was afraid to do so."

According to the cable, Akunyili said, "Yar'adua and Jonathan never had a good relationship" because the President mistrusted Jonathan and that there was always a sense from Yar'adua that the VP was "just waiting for him to die. "

In another cable, leaked by Wikileaks, the then Chief of Army Staff General Abdulrahman Dambazau said he was worried that Jonathan as acting president was becoming very sectional and that he was too easily influenced by others, particularly former president Obasanjo.

The meeting between Dambazau and the American ambassador took place on February 24. Dambazau told Ms. Sanders that Obasanjo was "in and out of Aguda House, Jonathan's residence, several times a day now, and it is making people uncomfortable, particularly in the North."

He urged the ambassador to call on Jonathan to be "his own man," which she did, as reported in another cable.

On the tension in the country in the days following Yar'adua's return to Nigeria from Saudi Arabia, Dambazau told Ms. Sanders that the "Katsina group" around Yar'adua had "caged" him off. He told the ambassador that Jonathan was beginning to exhibit similar tendencies, with the people around him behaving just as badly as the Katsina clique, and Jonathan handing out favors to his ethnic group.

"He (Dambazau) gave the example of the recent transfer of N19 billion of GON (government) funds to a Niger Delta environmental project that was done at the end of a meeting that Jonathan had with a group from his region. Dambazau said this was done outside of the normal Cabinet decision-making process." The cable said.

The cables were released last Friday in a mass publication of all the yet-to-be-released U.S. diplomatic cables obtained by Wikileaks. The website decided to publish everything following a disagreement with one of its partner newspapers, the Guardian of Britain. In November last year, Wikileaks began the piece-meal release of the 251,287 leaked cables.
