If I were President Jonathan, I would put a stop to these arranged lectures and talks until such a time my innocence would have been established

“Nigerians know that Buhari is not the architect of their pains, which he is doing everything to stop by stemming the bleeding caused by the rapacious PDP.. Whenever the condition in which we have found ourselves is discussed, it should be stated clearly that Buhari has got his teeth into clearing the mess of about 16 years during which PDP chiefs, at our expense, led a rollercoaster champagne life that would make Hollywood greats green with envy. They lived like kings and partied like movie stars. Nigerians said “enough”, kicked them out and handed Buhari the mandate to demolish the edifice of vices built by fraudsters, pranksters and gangsters parading as leaders. Now the rebuilding has begun. It will take some time and patience. –Gbenga Omotoso, Editor, The Nation, Thursday, 09.06.2016.

Looking at the duo of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Mrs. Patience Jonathan the other day, smooching, hugging and dancing azonto, one question that raced through my mind was: what do the Jonathan’s now think of Obasanjo, the man who brought them fame, fortune and ultimately, perdition? You do not need to have known former President Goodluck Jonathan up close to appreciate the fact that he was a perfect gentleman, neither a Pharaoh nor a Nebuchadnezzar. But that was until Obasanjo, out of his utter disdain for the duo of Ibrahim Babangida and Abubakar Atiku alongside the slew of Northerners keen on contesting for the presidency in 2011, cajoled and ended up railroading a quiet, peaceful and easy going Jonathan into contesting the 2011 Presidential election, thus single-handedly tearing PDP’s zoning arrangement into tatters. The party recently attributed its shellacking in the 2015 Presidential election, majorly to that very incident.

I have read and heard a whole lot of Jeremiad coming from those the new media describes as the wailing wailers. I have read and listened to many say Buhari should stop whatever it is he is doing, pack, go and let corruption come back in all its fury, a wish God forbids. As I often say in this column, I am not here to eulogise Buhari as I do have reservations of my own about some of the things he did and those he left undone. For instance his appointments have been mostly sectional, rather than inclusive. Also, he ought, by now to have given the Fulani herdsmen’s menace much more attention than just asking the police and the army to handle it because undisputed research has shown that some top guns in these agencies are not uninterested parties. The President, we pray, will come back from his 10-day leave much more invigorated. He should therefore waste no more time in frontally and properly interrogating a problem that has left thousands of Nigerians killed for nothing. Another area of my being ill at ease with the President is how, a full year into his administration, he still sits pretty seeing the National Assembly remain a sink hole with legislators carting home multi-millions quarterly despite the country’s parlous economic circumstances. This past week, we saw them self-eulogising and back slapping regardless of how greatly Nigerians have come to loathe them. These are people who awarded themselves ridiculously huge allowances which were not approved by the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission. I think the President should stop this illegality by whatever means he can , not minding the fact of the Legislature being a different arm of government since the appropriate government agency has severally denied approving such allowances. After all, the buck stops at his table.
I digress.

With what Nigerians now know about the Goodluck Jonathan era, the suffering we are presently experiencing be it power, foreign exchange etc and which the wailers never stop shouting about, even as they left a putrefying Augean stable for Buhari to clear, would have been nothing but a child’s play had the former President got re-elected. Indeed, by now, Nigeria would have become another Venezuela, that other country where oil boom has turned oil doom with its citizens queue-ing to have the lowest item needed for survival . The signs were all there as the Jonathan government has started feeding Nigerians on a daily diet of lies. For instance, MrsOkonjo-Iweala was serially denying the fact that Nigeria was broke even as they have already borrowed close to half a billion naira to pay workers’ salaries.
President Jonathan lost the election but certainly not for lack of trying. As Orubebe was busy ranting his inanities, tying to provoke Professor Jega, the INEC chairman, in order to precipitate a situation where their goons would teargas everybody and stop the announcement of the election results, Diezeani’s bribe money for the purpose of altering the Presidential election results nationwide was going round every part of the country. As God would have it, those to whom she shelled the money knew it was too little, and too late as Nigerians have put an ignominious end to the era of lootocracy. Rather than part with the money, most simply held to their own share of the loot.

Had Jonathan won, nobody would have heard a whimper about this humongous amount of money sourced, illegally by Diezeani from her rogue accomplices in the oil industry which she had dominated like a colossus.

With daily breaking news about the heist perpetrated under his nose , it is a shame President Jonathan is going round the world trying to burnish his name and claiming, tongue in cheek, that he fought corruption. So massive was the looting that his ministers very easily convinced him not to cooperate with the incoming administration as a result of which he could only give his handing over notes to his successor a few days to his exit. By going out making those claims are we to assume that he is unaware of many of his men who have confessed to looting the treasury one way or the other? Did his cousin, Robert Azibaola, just chanced on 40 Billion dollars for a contract which the EFCC describes as dubious, for the supply of Tactical equipment for special forces but details of executing which it says does not exist? What of how people around him turned a so-called negotiation for the release of the Chibok girls to a casino? While regaling his audience in a speech at the Bloomberg studio in London claiming he fought corruption by not making money available to people, was it that he had not heard what Hassan Tukur, his Principal Secretary, was reported to have told the EFCC about the 40 Billion dollars he, Jonathan, approved, and Azibaola picked from the office of the National Security Adviser which had by then become an automatic teller machine, for the release of the Chibok girls? Is it possible the former President has not heard that Tukur has confessed to diverting the money and sharing it with somebody? Or what corruption can be greater than authorising, as reportedly claimed by the National Security Adviser, the sharing of 2.1 Billion dollars meant for arms purchase for items not remotely related to arms? And what about the millions of dollars raked in from oil crude sales which should have gone to the federation account to relieve states, but was diverted and used by the oil empress for the purpose of altering the presidential election results?

If I were President Jonathan, I would put a stop to these arranged lectures and talks until such a time my innocence would have been established. Or hasn’t he just said he is being investigated?
Sir, this time around, silence will be golden.I were President Jonathan, I would put a stop to these arranged lectures and talks until such a time my innocence would have been established

He is not leaving after 3 years!

I am campaigning for PMB for 2019 polls. This man must win so the suffering must continue. This is what we wanted.

DesChyko:
A party in power still have them and their supporters playing opposition while the country is in turmoil. Whom are they opposing? A nobody? Even if they successfully jail the opposition leaders, they will still take the blame for doing nothing while the country runs aground. The common man understands the difference between comfort and suffering, all these charades impresses no one. The likes of Tinubu, Amaechi and others didn't clear their names before parading about in one political appointment or the other. Even Buhari didn't clear his certificate saga, the basic requirement for contesting, before assuming the Presidential role, and you think you have a point? Abegi

cococandy:
You and your pay masters should go get a life OP. You're clearly jobless.

DesChyko:
Since he had no reservations to use the term 'Wailing Wailers', I will not hesitate to return the favour.

Zombies should get a grip on reality and stop grasping nonexistent braces like a desperate drowning man. Jonathan goes about giving lectures; yeah. The countries that invited him for these are much better and comfortable than our economy and they fail to see him like Zombies do, why do you find it difficult to live with that? These countries are far wiser than Nigeria and your hate will not stop them from learning what they should from whom they perceive to be a wonderful example.

What a boring thread

aresa:
There's a clear difference between countries and private orgernizations looking for influence from a disgraced and kicked out of office corrupt and incompetent loser.

No sane and lawful country or national leader invites crooks like Jona who supervised the most crooked and corrupt government on the surface of the earth. They won't even touch him or be seen next to him. He's a walking plague and rancid character to them and parading around with meaningless and worthless entities and orgernizations.


If you need to see tge1 real zombie, just look in the mirror.

mirob:
Everyday new ways of blaming GEJ comes up, won't this APC people focus on how to make Nigeria better instead of this blaming game everyday.
I wonder when this will end.

Jonathan's government and corruption...

[s]Yea, everything is boring....... as long as it is not about "How to share LOOTED YAMS"

Oleeee!


As for Jonathan, he can buy all the lectures and air-time in the world, when God says its time for him to atone for his misdeeds, he can only run, ...he cant hide!

Jonathan has to be one of those "hibernating animals", for him to have claim ignorance of all the looting under his watch....
he was probably asleep for almost SIX YEARS!

Even when he was authorising the looting and sharing of our YAMS.... he was sleeping!

Another zombie thread.

DesChyko:
Yet you spend your time and data to get wind of his movements? The message he preaches about democracy, how does it concern a private organization? I hope This hate of yours will lead to your dreams in life because it will be shameful carrying it about and make no gain from it.

And who disgraced Jona? You? Who are you? Transparency International are saying one thing and you're saying another, where are your qualifications to rank corruption index? Where are the journal leading to your conclusions other than the one-liners you post here and there? You're just carrying traditional shekpe joint gossip about like a job seeker's CV. Don't face your current challenges.

The ignorance of Nigerians like you "beggars-belief"!

No long story but this is how CORRUPTION works:

WHICH IS A BETTER SYNONYM FOR CORRUPTION?

A. GOODLUCK JONATHAN

B. NIGER DELTANS

C. ONE OF THE ABOVE

D. ALL OF THE ABOVE



NIGERIA REMAINS BLESSED
