Dear Editor,
With luck,the leadership of this great country has been placed on the
Goodluck Jonathan’s
shoulder. I am now making a request to God to please minister to Jonathan in
various ways to understand that he needs to take the opportunity of doing right
things and on time in order not to erode the remaining bundle of luck with him.
Jonathan should wake up from slumber; avoid much time-gapping (sic)that could easily shift
his supposedly right thoughts. We have heard much about bringing back Ribadu as
a Special Advisor to help in the business he knows best - fight corruption.
Before the dissolution of EXCOF (which he has now reconstituted), Jonathan
rushed to the Senate and procured an approval to appoint six Special Advisers.
He needs matured and experienced persons for this category of appointees and
one wonder why he is still delaying in making the appointments.
Jonathan has been listening to all manner of arguments leading him to say through CNN
interview that Iwu and INEC are not the issue. He scored (high) the sham called
Anambra 2010 gubernatorial election. It should be recalled that through
Iwu-INEC’s actions and inactions many registered voters were disenfranchised to
the extent that what we have today in Anambra is a governor who was mandated by
fewer than 80,000 voters to govern over 4,000,000 people. Jonathan needs to
understand that INEC and our electoral laws need reforms. I watched the NTAi
9p.m News Sunday April 25, 2010 where Jonathan doled out ‘awards’ to some
persons including Governors Ohakim and Akpabio described as; for their
contributions to the Aso Rock Chapel. What that frivolous award meant is yet to
be explained to viewers. If Jonathan does not know; people now say his middle
names are ‘foot-dragging’ and ‘back-stabbing’.
He should avoid derailment and understand that he may be having the support of the
western world for now because of the expected reforms in our electoral law and
war on corruption. He should not squander the opportunity.
