Campaigns Of Pocket And Purse Security Of PDP ELITE'S by Godpinkin(m): 1:24am On Jan 24, 2015 |
As 2015 election draws nearer, we should be on alert and aware that the majority of the Elite's campaigning for the re-election of president Jonathan are only doing that for the SECURITY of there Pockets and Purse. Let not be blind foldered or carried away by sentiments or sychopancy ,it won't add a bit to our life or to nation Nigeria. Even the ruling party can attest to the fact that the last four years of Jonathan administration is a minus to Nigeria. Former President Obasanjo--“His performance is below average. I will not accept responsibility for his performance. There is nobody that gets such a position without being helped.” Dr Alex Ekwueme --He pointedly said that President Good luck Jonathan may not be fortunate again to have overwhelming support like he has in the past in the South-East, saying that he had taken the zone for Dr Ekwueme spoke just as there are vo ciferous voices from the South-East, alleg ing unfair treatment by the Jonathan adminIstration granted. Four years ago at Eagle Square, Jonathan declared his candidacy for the 2011 presidential election, promising to "fight" eight specific battles. He promised to fight for "justice, for all Nigerians to have access to power,for qualitative and competitive education, for healthcare reforms,to create jobs for all Nigerians; to fight corruption, fight to protect all citizens, and to fight for your rights!" Eight struggles, four years, and no victory yet to declare? A corrupt administration It is unclear if Jonathan's administration is the most corrupt in Nigeria's democratic history, but never has corruption been this romanticised and institutionalised. The Code of Conduct Bureau requires all public office holders to declare their assets on assumption and relinquishment of office. But this had no meaning for Jonathan. Asked during a presidential media chat in June 2012 to explain his aversion to the asset declaration code, Jonathan clarified that he didn't give a damn. "The issue of public asset declaration is a matter of personal principle," he said. "That is the way I see it, and I don't give a damn about it, even if you criticise me from heaven," he said. Two years later, he delivered another bombshell. Explaining at another presidential media chat in May 2014 on how his administration was tackling corruption, he said: "Over 70 percent of what are called corruption [cases], even by EFCC [Economic and Financial Crimes Commission] and other anti-corruption agencies, is not corruption, but common stealing." His disregard for one of his eight struggles - fighting corruption - was put not only into verbal use but also into action. In 2013, his minister of aviation, Stella Oduah, faced accusations of ordering the purchase of two bulletproof cars for $1.6m - about $1.2m more than the market price. More than a year after the scandal, Oduah, who ordinarily ought to be prosecuted, is still prospering and in fact playing a big role in Jonathan's 2015 campaign. No one truly knows the exact amount of public funds Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, ex-governor of Jonathan's Bayelsa state, stole. But he had stolen so much that when the federal government started an investigation in the mid-2000s, it was discovered that he had some $1.56m in cash stashed away in one of his London properties. After investigations and lawsuits in the UK and Nigeria, Jonathan - only God knows what he was thinking - granted Alamieyeseigha a state pardon in March 2013. These are just two out of many such examples. LITANY OF FAILED PROMISES All of Jonathan's 2010 promises were rehashed into a document he christened "Transformation Agenda 2011-2015", which set out to focus on job creation, education,health,power,transportation, Niger Delta development,governance and public expenditure management, among others. Truly, Jonathan did attempt to create jobs through the YOUWIN initiative. But it counts for nothing knowing how the masses suffer from the partial removal of subsidy in January 2012, from which YOUWIN is funded. Also the immigration Job scam that claim the life of over 12 able Youth. Up till date nobody has been prosecuted not for N1000 they scammed from this job seekers but for the life's lost during this process. During the Occupy Nigeria protests against subsidy removal, at least 17 people were killed by the police - people whose rights Jonathan promised to "fight for". Till date, no police officials have been prosecuted for the deaths. It is impossible to say a president has transformed his country's health sector if his own wife receives medical attention abroad; or if after a prolonged strike by doctors, he ingeniously devises a backdoor approach to sacking them. I do not blame Jonathan for the insurgency in the northeast, neither do I believe in the conspiracy theory that his government or its key officers are sponsoring Boko Haram. But he can't be exonerated from responsibility for the organisational ill-preparedness of the military and the inferior firearms of soldiers, given the huge amount funds for the military at his disposal. It's so evident that those clamouring for Jonathan re-election are not doing that based on his achievements for the last four years but for the Security of there Pockets. No wonder they spend more time in propangada rather than what they will do. THINk wisely, Vote Wisely ....No second chance in government, if you are Good your work will speak. Only in Kangaroo Democracy will you undermine the power of electorate. Our Vote is our voice against corruption,unemployment,Insecurity,mismanagement and I don't care altitude of the government to the plight of the masses. 1 Like |
