Jonathan’s Leadership Style Defective -kolade by miqos02(m): 9:54pm On Dec 04, 2014
Former Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr.
Christopher Kolade, on Thursday, condemned President Goodluck
Jonathan for not showing the right leadership in the manner he carries
on with his responsibilities as the President.
He spoke at the sixth Christopher Kolade Symposium, organised by the
Nigeria Leadership Initiative, an organisation he is a pioneer patron.
He made specific reference to Jonathan’s decision to honour a political
rally in Kano shortly after a bombing that killed several people early in
the year in Abuja, saying the best he could have done was “to postpone
the political event.”
For choosing to continue with the programme, he said, the President
did not demonstrate that he was sensitive to the pains of the people.
While chiding the campaigns of pro-Jonathan non-governmental
organisations, the respected statesman said, “Nigeria was, at every
other time, better than now”.
He said those who said the country “had never been this good” were
lying, and that at over 80 years, he could tell that the country had a
robust history.
He lamented the drift in leadership quality, a situation, he believed,
should be a source of worry to all Nigerians.
“If we get to a point when we do not care how the country is led, we
have lost hope. The country is where it is today because some people
sacrificed. Unfortunately, beyond stealing, our leaders are not ready to
sacrifice anything”, he added.
Kolade said he took up a responsibility to lead the Subsidy Re-
investment and Empowerment Programme to demonstrate his love for
the country.
Reneging, he said, would have amounted to wishing that the initiative
would fail.
He said he rejected allowances offered with the job because he was
financially stable.
The former envoy said no Nigerian was happy with the leadership style
and the manner public institutions were operated.
Chief Executive Officer of the initiative, Yinka Oyinlola, charged
Nigerians to roll out a template of engagement and action rather than
complaining.
He said character deficit was the biggest challenge the country would
address to position itself for greatness.
Oyinlola lamented the impunity in the Nigeria political system, saying
it was a dangerous trend when the executive sought to supplant the
legislature and the judiciary.

That's the problem with all of us blacks.

Unfortunately, he he surrounds himself with people who tells him what he want to hear.

The voice of the people is the voice of the lord!!! GEJ going down since Oct 1st 2010.

If GEJ is smart, he'll get into an agreement with APC leadership not to probe him when they win Govt and in about two weeks his wife will feign a serious illness, and that'll be his excuse. Then, he'll decline to run and leave the country for a little period. This is a book we've all read and know the ending. If he continues listening to the sycophants surrounding him one of two things will happen:

He'll lose the election, be probed, then disgraced and jailed.
or
He'll "win", but end up losing his life either through a coup, Boko Haram, or when he returns to the Niger-Delta in the inevitable struggle for power that is sure to ensue in the Eastern Region when Civil war eventually breaks out all over Nigeria.

Now this is from the horse's mouth. A very notable and senior Nigerian who handled a key position in Jonathan's administration. This condemnation should even gain more media attention than OBJ's own. No wonder the man resigned from the infamous scam SURE-P. Hope Okugbe is reading and preparing his missive and rebuttals? Best president in the whole world indeed.


Mods, this should land front page immediately. All Nairalanders deserve to see this.
