Proof of the fact that Goodluck Jonathan’s “kingdom” is torn is found during his 57th birthday celebration where the Presidential Chaplain, Venerable Obioma Onwuzurumba, likened Goodluck Jonathan to King Saul and in the process made wild claims on both the person of the president as well as his ethnic group, the Izon; which the Venerable claimed is the “least in Nigeria” all in an attempt at situating Goodluck Jonathan’s regime within a Biblical garb. The Venerable also claimed that Jonathan would be surrounded by “valiant and good hearted men” just as King Saul was.
The Izon are not the “least in Nigeria”, as they are considered the fourth largest Ethnic Nationality in Nigeria. There is no way such can be considered the “least” among more than 200 Nationalities, except the Jonathanian mathematical methodology is applied. We all know that this methodology was applied in the Governors Forum’s “16 is greater than 19”; the Ekiti “7 is greater than 19”; the Lagos PDP primaries where the number of declared votes exceeded the number of voting delegates, ascribed to a “clerical error”, even after the PDP claimed the delegates list was in circulation two weeks before the primaries yet the “clerical error” was not identified during the entire period. Claiming the “least in Nigeria” status for the Izon would thus be the icing on the cake.
Equating Goodluck Jonathan with King Saul, the venerable regaled his audience with King Saul being surrounded by “valiant” men. Yet, King Saul, with all of his valiant men, could not confront Goliath, and when David showed up and defeated Goliath, King Saul became depressed and tried all in his power to try to destroy David.
As King Saul and his valiant men could not confront Goliath, so Goodluck Jonathan’s valiant men have been unable to confront the Nigerian goliath, preferring, instead, to blame everyone blamable as to the inability of the Jonathan regime while excusing Goodluck Jonathan himself.
In this blame game, we are told he succeeded in privatizing the power sector. But privatization is not and should not be an end in itself. Rather, such privatization must be measured in terms of what it is expected to achieve within the overall health of the economy. Hence, not only did the Jonathan regime sell off the power assets, he also went ahead to offer “loans” to the same companies that were supposed to bring in direct foreign investment but which now had to rely on the seller to provide the needed capital. Meanwhile, power is neither generated nor distributed by these privatized entities.
Furthermore, while the Minister of Petroleum Resources refused to appear before a National Assembly Committee to answer certain questions, the Minister of Finance did state that there would be an International forensic audit of the NNPC and the oil sector and the report, as at the time of writing, is yet to be made public.
King Saul’s valiant men were supposed to include his military force even though they became cowardly when challenged by Goliath. The same scenario applies to Goodluck Jonathan, where the Nigerian Armed Forces have been found wanting against the Boko Haram insurgency, with all sorts of excuses being offered, ranging from initially blaming the opposition for the existence of the insurgency to attempting to turn it into a religious uprising thus asking the Islamic leaders in the North to tackle them while castigating the Governors of the affected States for not taking care of their own security when these Governors have absolutely no control over the Police talk less of the Nigerian Armed Forces; and then the military spokesperson in the person of Major-general Olukolade went to Atlanta, US to blame the media for Boko Haram’s successes. Yet, the Jonathan regime awarded a security contract to one of the former Niger Delta operatives to patrol Nigeria’s coastline, ostensibly to challenge oil theft with the attendant result of having more oil stolen after the contract was awarded. To cap it all, the Chief of Defense Staff of the Nigerian Armed Forces announced a “ceasefire” agreement with Boko Haram and went ahead to order the Nigerian Army to initiate a unilateral ceasefire only for Boko Haram to strike more violently. Of course, as a valiant man, the Chief of Defense Staff was neither rebuked nor penalized.
These valiant men were not in short supply in Goodluck Jonathan’s militarization of the Ekiti and Osun elections where democracy was turned on its head and intimidation became the order of the day, where soldiers who were unable to confront the insurgents were deployed to intimidate electors with a threat of bloodbath in Ekiti, which they got away with but met a determined resistance in Osun. The irony of this is that the point man of the valiant men on the Ekiti and Osun missions, Musiliu Obanikoro, got a taste of his own medicine when he was surreptitiously shown the door during the Lagos State PDP primaries which he is now contesting.
Before these electoral shenanigans, the valiant men had been employed in arriving at a predetermined position at Jonathan’s national Conference, where, contrary to even the vociferous demands of the Niger Delta for Resource Control, the conference ended up with more insidious Unitarization, which tallied with a statement credited to one of the valiant men, Tony Nyiam who had told anyone who cared to listen that “no one will organize such a Conference without a predetermined agenda.”
When God commanded Agag and the Amalekites to be destroyed, King Saul balked and placed the blame on the people just as Goodluck Jonathan has resorted to the blame game on all instances while pretending to be unaware of the shenanigans. And the venerable would have told us that if indeed King Saul was telling the truth, why were the sheep and the most valuable of the spoils of war found in the King’s palace; for if keeping them was truly the wish of the people, nothing should have stopped them from distributing them among themselves, which would have lent credence to King Saul’s claim.
Similarly, Goodluck Jonathan, by keeping all the spoils of the Federal Government, turning the Armed Forces and security agencies, including the Police into his political tool, refusing to Regionalize the country as demanded by the Nationalities; empowering his own cronies for political gain and ensuring his coronation as the only PDP Presidential candidate; unbridled heist
of monies from the Federal treasury along with the desecration of the judiciary etc at the same time blaming others for all of the malfeasance is classical King Saul.
Which brings in the issue of King Saul’s end; for after his kingdom was torn from him, he became wild and pursued satanic processes in order to maintain his power and prestige, all to no avail; for at that point, he was fighting God.
Thus, when the venerable, in a Holy Communion service, isolated the cause of the Kingship of Saul from its effect within the context of the overall health of Israel, he has not only done a disservice but has become a vehicle for false prophecy and false teaching with its own direct consequences. For every King Saul, there is always a David.
And now that the die is cast between Goodluck Jonathan and the APC, we can only expect Goodluck Jonathan, in the manner of King Saul, to refuse to accept defeat on February 14, 2015 by announcing a favorable result for himself. Being the first in the series of elections, such an announcement will bring its own consequences, among which will be a termination of the remaining elections and with the army under his beck and call, a political standoff can only be expected.
The opposition has also stated it will form a parallel government should the above occur; and from earlier reports as to Goodluck Jonathan’s preparedness to engage the international community through the retained services of 12 SANs, he is working on the expectation of a NADECO-type opposition response; which by itself, is necessary but will not be enough; the general opposition must develop its own strategies beyond but also in tandem with any NADECO-type alternative.
