I never understood what people meant whenever they said GEJ never loses a battle until I saw the outcome of the elections. The 2015 presidential election wasn't just a battle between GEJ and GMB, it was also a battle between GEJ and OBJ.
Everyone who knows Nigeria well, knows that OBJ spent his time in office, trying to create a name for himself in Africa. Eventually, he left office and became one of Africa's most respected former leaders. GEJ however had more issues on his neck while he was Nigeria's president, and I'm sure he almost had no time to think of Africa. But after losing the elections, GEJ performed an act that made him leap frog OBJ to being one of Africa's greatest. His singular act of congratulating the winner, made the whole world and all of Africa respect him. In some quarters he's been described as the father of modern democracy in Nigeria.

Even the APC which I never thought would ever use the name Jonathan and commend in the same sentence has this to say through Alhaji Lai Mohammed by that
singular act, which went a long way in dousing post-election tension, the President had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat.
It also noted that Jonathan had written his name in gold in the annals of Nigeria’s history and catapulted himself to a statesman.

Also, Mo Ibrahim a man who has never said anything about OBJ had this to say about GEJ; Thank you Mr President. If you are seeking a legacy, you have definitely achieved
it.”
If GEJ eventually wins the Mo Ibrahim award for 2015, then he'd definitely be smiling all over Africa, far more than OBJ is smiling. When the UN, AU, Commonwealth, etc looks for an African democrat to use an example, they'd definitely use GEJ, while OBJ falls into the category of so many former presidents.


Lastly, as my warri friend said "who God don bless, God don bless, Jona no dey ever lose. Him lose Aso Rock, but him win Africa".

THERE appears to be palpable
fear in the camp of the All
Progressives Congress in Rivers
State as speculations were rife
on Monday that six
commissioners in Governor
Rotimi Amaechi’s cabinet were
set to defect to the Peoples
Democratic Party on or before
Friday.
Amaechi’s deputy, Mr. Tele
Ikuru, had defected to the PDP
on Sunday with a promise that
his supporters would soon join
him in his new party.
Though five commissioners
were seen to be Amaechi’s die-
hard supporters, other
commissioners could be well
out of the APC and were only
waiting for the right time.
A source in the Government
House, Port Harcourt, told our
correspondent that he could
only vouch for commissioners
in charge of Information,
Agriculture, Works and two
other ministries, adding that
those who stood for pecuniary
gains could defect to the PDP.
“Yes, the deputy governor has
defected and you will agree
with me that he (Ikuru) has
supporters who will definitely
want to go with him. We are
suspecting them already and
very soon, they will show
themselves.
“But one thing is clear, the
Amaechi they are betraying
has always stood by them.
Amaechi does not betray
anybody and anything he tells
you today, check in the next 20
years, he will still maintain his
stand,” the source said.
Also a House of Assembly
source told our correspondent
that he could no longer vouch
for all the state legislators
because some of them now
believed in stomach
infrastructure.
He insisted that some
members of the House who
believed in integrity would
continue to stay with the
governor.
Though, the Assembly source
did not mention any member
likely to defect to the PDP, he
said it would be unnecessary to
assume that the 25 APC
lawmakers were still intact.
“The PDP may have infiltrated
them within the past 12
months and you must know
that those who would leave by
this time believe in stomach
infrastructure while those with
integrity will continue to stay
with Amaechi,” the source said.
Speaking through his aide, the
State Commissioner for Works,
Mr. Victor Giadom, said that he
was committed to the belief of
Amaechi and had never
thought of defecting to another
political party.
Giadom, who is also the
Director-General of the Dakuku
Peterside Campaign
Organisation, described the
claim that some commissioners
would defect to the PDP as
mere propaganda, adding that
no commissioner would leave
the APC for another party.
The Chairman of the PDP in the
state, Mr. Felix Obuah,
predicted that Amaechi would
be left with only five
commissioners after a possible
mass defection of his aides to
the PDP.
“Amaechi has only five
commissioners and more than
two-thirds of the members of
the state House of Assembly
have joined PDP. They are
already talking with me. Today,
we are celebrating one of our
own (Ikuru) and his teeming
supporters who have seen
reasons in what we are fighting
for,” he said.
