With a Political Undertone;
Nigeria Politics is one thing I used to know that seems very
articulate and interesting when it comes to Discussing. Leadership from
unset has been a thing of the Flesh, only resides with the kind of
individual if You will bring out the value of your flesh.
To start with, #Team Buhari#-
Firstly, Buhari without any iota of Doubt is no
point of a Good leader but to be Frank he is also a Good Leader.
1.
Insurmountable economic problems plagued the Buhari regime as petroleum
prices collapsed in the face of expanding foreign debt. Buhari
instituted austerity measures that caused severe hardship to the average
Nigerian. In addition, political corruption continued unabated, with
politicians escaping to Western countries with millions of dollars in
government money. In an effort to stop dissension, Buhari instituted
restrictions on the press, political freedoms, and trade unionists. By
August 1985 even the military had had enough, and Ibrahim Babangida took
control of the government. Buhari was detained in Benin City but was
released at the end of 1988.
In 2003 Buhari ran for president; he was defeated by the incumbent,
Olusegun Obasanjo of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Buhari ran
again in 2007 but was defeated by the PDP’s candidate, Umaru Yar’Adua,
in an election that was strongly criticized by international observers
as being marred by voting irregularities. Buhari also stood in the 2011
presidential election, which was praised for largely being transparent,
free, and fair, but he again lost to the PDP’s candidate, incumbent
Goodluck Jonathan. Just the Tip of the iceberg #Team Jonathan#.
Secondly, Jonathan is a Good president But he has done what he can/could
in absense of Capturing and Excellent Leadership. Jonathan’s political
career began when he became involved with the nascent People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) in the late 1990s. He was elected deputy governor
of Bayelsa state in 1999 under the party’s banner. He served in that
position until 2005, when he was elevated to the governorship after the
incumbent was charged with corruption and impeached. In 2007 he was
selected to be the vice presidential running mate of the PDP’s
presidential candidate, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. He and Yar’Adua were
elected in April and inaugurated in May.
As Vice President, Jonathan engaged in efforts to negotiate with
militants in the Niger delta, who were fighting against petroleum
companies operating in the delta region, but otherwise he largely
remained in the political background. His profile rose considerably in
early 2010 when Yar’Adua’s extended absence from the country for medical
treatment made many Nigerians anxious and generated calls for Yar’Adua
to formally transfer power to Jonathan.
As concerns mounted and there
was no word from Yar’Adua on the request to transfer power to his Vice President, members of Nigeria’s National Assembly took matters into
their own hands and on Feb. 9, 2010, voted to have Jonathan assume full
power and serve as acting president until Yar’Adua was able to resume
his duties. Jonathan agreed and assumed power later that day, but it was
unclear whether the assumption of power was constitutional.
When
Yar’Adua returned to Nigeria on Feb. 24, 2010, it was announced that
Jonathan would remain as acting president while Yar’Adua continued to
recuperate. The next month, Jonathan asserted his power by replacing
Yar’Adua’s cabinet. Yar’Adua, who never fully recovered, died on May 5,
2010, and Jonathan was sworn in as president the following day. Jonathan
vowed to continue his involvement in the Niger delta peace negotiations
and declared his intentions to reform the country’s oft-criticized
electoral process as well as tackle corruption and deal with the
country’s energy problems.
There was much speculation as to how Jonathan’s unexpected term as
president would affect the PDP’s unofficial policy of rotating the
presidency between candidates from the predominantly Christian south and
the predominantly Muslim north. Jonathan’s declaration in September
2010 of his intent to stand in the 2011 presidential election
immediately generated controversy, as many argued that the northerners
were still owed another term in office. In the PDP’s January 2011
primaries, Jonathan was elected to be the party’s candidate for the
presidency. His overwhelming victory showed that his candidacy had
considerable support—in the north as well as the south—even though it
was a departure from the unofficial north-south rotation policy.
Jonathan was also victorious in the country’s presidential election,
held on April 16, 2011. He won about 59 percent of the vote, securing an
outright victory and avoiding the need for a runoff election. Reforming
Nigeria’s electoral process had been one of Jonathan’s goals, and
international observers praised this election as being largely
transparent, free, and fair..
#Team Jonathan# Goodluck Jonathan is a good man as a person, his simplicity and gentlemanness is second to “Nil”
*He has given us his very BEST over the last 6 years. I mean, what else are we asking for?
*He has granted Alameisiya ‘STATE
PARDON’ and my guy is now running for Senate.
*He allowed Fayose to disrupt a court session and beat up a judge, while
he walks freely. I wonder if Nigeria is sane.
*He locked up the house of rep from the entrance of the CONSTITUTIONAL speaker of that house.
*7 law makers impeached a speaker in Ekiti in a house of about 26 men, and nothing happened.
*16 was suddenly greater than 19 in base 10, just to cancel the one-term
agreement he signed with the NIGERIA Governors’ Forum and all Nigerians
in 2011.
*Subsidy has been removed and the standards in our hospitals have reduced with time.
*$20 billion is missing and minister of Petroleum eats and dines with
the prexy. *Another BIGGER & BOLDER subsidy is scheduled for 1st of
June, 2015 and you may have to sell your laptop charger before you can buy fuel to charge that same laptop!!!
* Earlier this year, over 22 innocent Nigerians were killed in the job scam organized by the Nigerian
Immigration Service(NIS) . The Minister of Interior, Abba Moro, told us
the job interrwas “simply mismanaged” and he has retained his office and
even with extra luggage.
*1 Naira used to be equal $1.2 under #GMB but now it’s #186.5 to just $1, the worst ever in our history.
* Madam Gele, Ngozi Okonjo, just told us we need an extra $5 billion,
through debts of course, so that our economy will not collapse like Humpty-Dumpty.
*While Benue State University was on an unending internal strike killing the future of poor Nigerians, Senator DAVID MARK (son of the soil) built his own PRIVATE UNIVERSITY, of course with tax payers’ money, and my gentle president followed him to launch the school shamelessly.
*He has spent all money in the treasury and even had to BORROW an extra
$1 billion but #BokoHaram keeps getting more equipped than.
*Having made Asuu on the MOU to go on Industrial Action @least 8times in
is tenure.without meeting the Revitalization need despite the strike
having putting the Tomorrow of youth under Pressure. A Very Good Man.
Can Gen Muhhammed Buhari can do better.making you to be rest assured of
this…..An Individual contesting on various kind of Days….Loosing and yet
still saying The passion for Nigerians..
