But he did nothing, but has metamorphosed into an executive activist for this campaign outside of office. It will be better, if he devotes time to explain to Nigerians why he failed to implement his “laudable” policies, but desires that another President swallow them hook and sinker.

But with these confessions, no
one is in doubt about some of the
veiled forces that stoke fire and
unrest in the region. And relapsing into his dreamy
National Conference report again,
Jonathan concluded that from “the foregoing, the only option
that will solve the agitation in
the Niger Delta is true and
Fiscal Federalism as
practiced in the United States
from whom we copied the Presidential model of
government.” Had Jonathan started the
implementation of the true fiscal
federalism in Nigeria and his
successor or another government
halted it, he would have earned
himself the status of a hero. 2 Likes |

It is very unkind and uncharitable
for Jonathan to preach and pin
true fiscal federalism as the only
remedy to militancy in the Niger
Delta, as according to him, kings
of yore in the region like King Jaja of Opobo and Nana Olomu
who resisted the fretting away of
their palm oil resources, and were
similarly maltreated, deposed or
exiled by imperial Britain, failed to
halt the agitations. “Let me add that the punitive measures
against these kings did not end
the agitations, he said. Aside the inciting intent of the
contents of his submission, it is
now clear the masked brains in
the ever festering agitations for
resource control and militancy in
the Niger Delta. Not long ago, some militant groups accused
Jonathan of sponsoring militancy
in the region, but he stringently
denied it. 2 Likes |

Nigerians demur Jonathan’s new found passion for the plight of his people in the Niger Delta. He believes intervention agencies like NNDC, OMPADEC and Niger Delta Ministry have not been beneficial to arresting the pervasive poverty and environmental degradation in the region more than the 13 percent derivation funds the Obasanjo regime conceded to oil-producing states. The former President admitted that over politicization of intervention projects handled by these agencies is mainly responsible for default. At least, it is good news to read him admit that the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) has not neglected the Niger Delta region as widely propagated and that the people mismanaged these initiatives and the funds. But when Jonathan held sway in Aso Rock, he identified these issues as problems of his people but initiated no move to rectify. He even insulted their dignity and right to a better life by abandoning the UNEP assesment report which recomended the clean-up of Ogoni land. 1 Like |

This is a strange doctrine of
impunity. But if his tactics worked
so excellently as he is
insinuating, what prevented the
administration from ending
terrorism? How can he explain the reality of insurgency reaching
its peak when he was president? What impunity is greater than
when you allow your accolades
and political leeches to dubiously
divert public funds meant for
procurement of arms to protect
the sovereignty of the country you lead as President and lots
more? Jonathan would do himself
personal good if he refrains from
making jest of Nigerians, whom
he disappointed so glaringly. Nigerians demur Jonathan’s new
found passion for the plight of his
people in the Niger Delta. He
believes intervention agencies
like NNDC, OMPADEC and Niger
Delta Ministry have not been beneficial to arresting the

The solution to these problems
would hardly be the multiplicity of
enforcement agencies or creation
of independent bodies as
preached by Jonathan. The 14
persons he cited as example who were sentenced to death in the
aftermath of the Zagon-Kataf
crisis by President Ibrahim
Babangida were not convicted by
any Religious Equity Commission
(REC). Dr. Jonathan bandies a strange
concept of impunity. In his
address, ending impunity is
establishment of his underfunded
universities and Almajiri schools
in Northern Nigeria and convicting Boko Haram Terrorists like
Kabiru Sokoto and his gang
members. Jonathan says, “the point I want to emphasize by citing
these incidences is that my
administration had the
political will to halt impunity in
Nigeria and that is why
killings due to religious extremism was localized to
the Northeast with occasional
killings in other zones of the
North….” |

So, if the National Conference
recommended the setting up of
Religious Equity Commission as
remedy to ending religious crisis
in the country by its powers “to
arrest and prosecute those who contravene the law,” what
hindered Jonathan from singling
out this aspect to implement,
even if the entire report had to
suffer neglect? An executive proclamation by
him, backed by a Bill to the
National Assembly would have
sealed the deal. But Jonathan
gazed into the skies as usual and
allowed this “brilliant” idea to waste and he is today so excited
about it. Jonathan needs to be reminded
that there are enough existing
laws to curb criminality of
whatever dimension, whether
political, religious or economic in
the country. Perhaps, the former President needs to be reminded
that the problem of Nigeria has
always been the political will to
enforce these laws. 1 Like |

It was his idea; it was his initiative
and everything about it was
teleguided by him. He handpicked
idle political loyalists, associates
and friends, whom he assembled
in Abuja. They were fed and paid fat allowances for a deal to
rework the existing framework of
Nigeria. They churned out a report to him,
but he could not muster the
courage to implement it . Again,
he had all the power and
resources to implement what
came out of the National Conference, but he chickened out
and dumped the report. It implies that as leader of Nigeria
at that material time, he was not
sure of even himself or dreaded
his own shadows. But today, Jonathan feels
Nigerians should not be allowed a
moment of respite until
government adopt or implement
the recommendations of his
'arrangee' and manipulated National Conference. Phew! Even
if one agrees with him that
religious persecution and
extremism is a problem in Nigeria,
both must have existed when he
ruled Nigeria for six years. 1 Like |

Without prejudice to whatever the courts may decide on some of the cases before it, at least, scores of Nigerians who dipped their fingers into the arms procurement fund, opted for the plea bargain clause of the EFCC and have been refunding these monies, which attests to the veracity of the claims of embezzlement of the funds. So, when and with what funds did Jonathan purchase the weapons he is claiming? Earlier statements credited to him made such allusions and holding tenaciously to such claims means he has secret to expose to Nigerians. Former President Jonathan has never ceased eulogizing the brilliance of the ideas enunciated by his 2014 National Conference. 1 Like |

These are bare facts of the history of yesterday in Nigeria. It took the wisdom of President Buhari to restructure, fund and overhaul the military high command, especially the appointment of Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusufu Buratai as the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) with the sole charge to end terrorism in the country that liberated the Northeast and Nigeria from the chains of terrorism. It sounds hollow for the former President to claim he purchased arms for the military to battle Boko Haram. But it was under his watch that Nigerian troops would sheepishly bade retreats at the battlefront in the face of menacing insurgents on account of terrorists' superior weapons. Besides, the revelations from the office of his former National Security Adviser (ONSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki about the $2.1 billion arms procurement fund, which the former President permitted its alleged diversion and embezzlement to fund his 2015 re-election campaigns should keep the veil of shame permanently on his face. 2 Likes |

In the first instance, it is self- delusion and extremely ridiculous for Jonathan to vaguely claim his administration “… had rolled back the Islamic terrorist sect, Boko Haram, by the end of the first quarter of 2015 after we were able to get weapons to arm our military.” A dishonourable leader does not earn veneration by displaying unbeatable skills of lies or deception No Nigerian is in doubt that President Muhammadu Buhari inherited Nigeria on May 29, 2015, when at least 14 LGAs in the Northeast were under the territorial control of Boko Haram insurgents. Premium Armoured Vehicles The Number One Brand for Vehicle Armouring Solutions Ad Terrorism peaked under his tenure, with multiple bomb explosions in different parts of Nigeria every day. Terrorists foisted their emblems and insignia in communities, after killing, abducting or deposing traditional rulers of these communities, declared their version of Islamic Caliphates and appointed their own Emirs to govern the people. 1 Like |

In the course of the presentation, Jonathan bandied verifiable lies and desperately sought to elevate his ruinous leadership of Nigeria beyond the precincts known to Nigerians who angrily ousted him through the ballot. Jonathan incredibly declared in his speech that his administration battled impunity and had ended Boko Haram Terrorists (BHTs) by the first quarter of 2015, when foreign nations agreed to sell arms to Nigeria. Leaning on the agitations in his Niger Delta region, Jonathan advocated for the implementation of fiscal federalism as the only panacea to ending restiveness in the oil-rich region and then, canvassed for the establishment of Religious Equity Commission to tackle religious persecution and extremism among series of other issues. |

Dr. Jonathan was in America

While in office, nothing mattered
to Jonathan and public appeal or
pulse never, ever appeased his
sensibilities. Everything fell flat
under his watch. Jonathan shunned action when it
mattered most and looked the
other way when his comrades or
vermin in power criminally
pillaged Nigeria and mindlessly
feasted on the commonwealth of the people like bees on honey. He
demonstrated in words and
actions a terrifying incapacity to
preside over the affairs of a
country, as complex as Nigeria. Now, the Ex-President has
embarked on the lonely voyage of
personal image laundering. And
each time he numbly barks in
foreign lands, in his usual
distinctive lifeless fashion, Jonathan struggles to pacify
himself by touching on sensitive
national issues and cleverly
inciting the masses against the
government, when he is not
down-rightly casting aspersions on the sound leadership of
Nigeria by President Muhammedu
Buhari. 2 Likes |

Editor's note: Anthony
Kolawole, a university
lecturer based in Keffi,
Nasarawa state has said that
the meeting between a United
States's congress sub- committee and former
president Goodluck Jonathan
was a dishonour to Nigeria. Kolawole condemning the
meeting said most of the pain
and hardship suffered by
Nigerians now is caused by
the mismanagement of the
Goodluck Jonathan administration. Former President Goodluck
Jonathan might pass as Nigeria’s
most mischievous former leader.
Clad in the linen and fake illusion
of a national statesman recently,
Jonathan has been fruitlessly attempting to re-write the history
of Nigeria under his leadership by
twisting empirical facts and also,
cleverly encouraging voices of
dissent in parts of Nigeria. 2 Likes |
