Nigeria, A Waste State Under GEJ- David West by Yeske2(op): 3:08am On Jan 28, 2015
former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Prof.
Tam David-West, on Tuesday described Nigeria
as a failed state.
David-West, at a news conference in Port
Harcourt, Rivers State, said that any government
that could not protect its citizens was a failed
government.
He said, “We have a failed state in Nigeria today.
I have been reading what is happening in Rivers
State. Any government that cannot protect its
citizens is not worth being called a government.”
The professor of virology expressed his support
for Governor Rotimi Amaechi and any party that
would bring light over the country’s current
darkness.
“I stand for a government that knows that 19 is
bigger than 16. I stand for a party that I know will
bring light to the darkness in Nigeria. I stand for
a party of people of substance both in words and
in character,” he said.
Also at the news conference, the All Progressives
Congress in the state called on the United
Nations, the Amnesty International and other
relevant international organisations to intervene in
the continued attacks on its members.
It said through its Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu
Ikanya, that while some of its members had been
killed by suspected Peoples Democratic Party
thugs, others had been seriously injured.
The party urged humanitarian and democratic
organisations to send high-powered election
monitoring teams to the state.
According to the APC, doing so would help to
avert bloodbath and make the election outcomes
in the state acceptable.
It said, “We call on Amnesty International, the
International Red Cross, the relevant organs of
the Economic Community of West African States,
the African Union and the United Nations to
immediately begin investigation into the gruesome
killings in Rivers State.
“An acceptable electoral outcome is possible in
Rivers State only if the elections are truly free and
fair. There cannot be free and fair elections if the
spate of violent high handedness, intimidation and
terror is not halted.

I expect Nigeria to be in turmoil by this time next week. I don't see the turmoil starting from the North. I can see River State as the place where the turmoil in Nigeria starts. Jonathan has armed his supporters in the Niger Delta to unleash mayhem.

GEJ is already an "F" candidate in this election, even home front no sure again.

Deep down Gej heart he knows he has lost already but it normal he keeps fighting desperately. Nigerians Clamouring for change were the same people who supported him 2011, he failed them woefully and as such they want a change. Gej of all people should understand this.
APC flows in my blood!
#vote Buhari/APC
