President Jonathan Is A Joke - Festus Keyamo by Nobody: 3:27pm On Jan 24, 2015
Lagos based lawyer, Festus
Keyamo, has urged Nigerians not
to be deceived by the lies of the
Goodluck Jonathan campaign
organization against the All
Progressive Congress, APC,
presidential candidate,
Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr. Keyamo said the president and
his handlers have failed to
understand that the 2015
presidential election was not about
human rights or religious issues,
but about insecurity, corruption
and the economy.
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES
earlier in the week, Mr. Keyamo
said, “It is not a campaign that
should be dominated by human
rights record because that is not an
issue now because we have a
competition in place. Chapter 4 has
not been suspended, unlike in
1984. Now, this campaign is
dominated by two centre things –
there is a third one that is also
crucial – which are insecurity,
corruption and of course the
issues of the economy is hanging
in there too. So, let us be clear in
making our decision. We know
exactly what we are doing. This
not a campaign that should be
dominated by human rights
record; that is where the PDP is
getting it wrong.”
He said it was time for Nigerians
to realize that Mr. Jonathan had no
clue or idea on how to run
Nigeria. He added that the country
was at a crossroad and needed a
commander-in-chief at the helms
of affair.
“This is the time we need a
commander-in-chief in this
country. At some other time when
we want to be chopping cabbage, maybe
Jonathan can come back,” Mr. Keyamo said.
“But I cannot entrust the next four years of my
life, my children, under the smoke of ethnicity
in the hands of Jonathan. He has no clue, he has
no idea of how to take this nation out of the
hands of insurgents.
“It is under a Jonathan administration that
insurgencies germinated, grew and dominated
us because he does not have the knowledge
either historically, learning by training or
simple intelligence to understand the dynamics
of war. This is what concerns us all, our lives
and property, the primary duty of government –
he does not have it and that is why whatever his
military chiefs tell him, he takes. They are all
feeding fat on the situation and because of the
issue of corruption the so-called ex-generals are
all part of the game.
“Ask yourself these questions: for the five years
of insurgency where do these insurgents come
from? Where are these camps? The Nigerian Air
Force, Army, Nigerian Navy cannot find and
destroy them? It is an indelicate mix of
incompetence and corruption on the part of
government.”
He noted that a part of the country had been
annexed by the insurgents and this happened
under Mr. Jonathan’s watch.
“Look at what is happening in other parts of the
world, they nip (terrorism) in the bud, they do
not allow it to grow. Here, it has become a daily
affair. Even in Kenya, there is insurgency but
you hear of it once in a while. Before Jonathan,
there has not been a total control of a territory
by insurgents but under Jonathan they have
achieved that.”
Mr. Keyamo said it was not possible for Mr.
Buhari to “islamize” Nigeria and rule like a
dictator as the constitution was still in place and
other arms of governments were there for
checks and balances.
“There is the National Assembly and you have
to get an average of two third of all the House of
Assemblies across the federation,” he said.
“There is a constitution that states that Nigeria
shall be a secular state, so you have to amend
the constitution. When they feed the country
with all these rubbish it makes me cry. There is
absolutely no truth in it.
“And then, I was shocked the other day when
Pastor Tunde Bakare said all the aides of Buhari
are Christians – the driver of many years is a
Christian, the cook of many years is a Christian.
“This is a campaign that is so clear that it is
between black and white and they are trying to
create a shade of gray.”
He noted that times have changed since Mr.
Buhari first ruled as head of state.
“We have a constitution that enables Chapter 4.
The first thing the military does when they get
into power is to put ouster clauses and form
decrees in respect of the court, like Degree 2 is
an ouster clause. These were the decrees and
rules Buhari operated with. Now, times have
change, things have change, that it is practically
impossible for anybody to come in and suspend
human rights. That means that person cannot be
president.”
War on corruption
The Delta State born lawyer reiterated that Mr.
Jonathan was not sincere with his anti-
corruption fight. He questioned the supposed
plan by the president to fight corruption if re-
elected.
“After six years, he is just planning,” Mr.
Keyamo said. “All the president represents
about anti-corruption has come together in one
singular act in the appointment of Femi Fani
Kayode as director of media and publicity for
his campaign organization. This a campaign
dominated by the team of corruption, a person
facing trial for money laundry. We have a
problem of corruption and corrupt members
are dominating this team. If (the United States
President, Barack Obama) does this that is the
end of Obama.”
Mr. Keyamo insisted that Mr. Jonathan had “no
appetite” to fight corruption.
“He went to the east and said Jim Nwobodo
should be prosecuted according to the volume
of money he allegedly stole; if it’s too much the
government would look into it, if not they
would have to let him go.
“That is the president’s view on fighting
corruption. After six years he wants to use
technology to fight corruption. This man is a
joke.”
Mr. Keyamo said some parts of the media, but
not PREMIUM TIMES, were complicit by
“burying” stories on corrupt leaders.
Fayose’s infamous advertorial
Mr. Keyamo condemned the advertorial by the
Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, suggesting the
possible death in power of Mr. Buhari if elected.
“That advertorial is spiritually offensive,
politically incorrect,” he said, calling it the
product of a warped mind.
“Is it the age that is more important than the
character, or the character is more important
than the age? Which is more important? Or do
you want to put a man that is 35 and who is an
armed robber? Or a prudent 90 years old with
integrity. We are getting it wrong.”
He said his decision to back Mr. Buhari came
after a careful study of the situation of things in
Nigerian and going by the falsehood he sees in
the media, it was time to stop fence-sitting.
“If you look at the mass media now, the volume
of falsehood that is being fed to the people lately
is so sickening. You will see fraud in the faces of
those supposedly singing out achievement all
just to swindle people to get their votes. For
some of us who sit down to look at these things
just keep getting angry because people who do
not have access to facts, who do not have access
to figures, who do not have access to history can
be easily misled.
“There is a problem on ground and except we
cry out from now to February 14 – I am ready to
leave my work, leave my office and go on a
campaign against this government. I can leave
my life in their hands. Like (Mr. Jonathan) said,
Americans supported George Bush (in the war
on terror) so let us also support this
government. But people are dying every day in
Nigeria. Are people dying every day in
America?”
Mr. Keyamo urged Nigerians to be careful as the
elections get closer. He also warned that security
agents not be used to rig elections. He said it
was the character of the ruling party to use
security agents to rig, but stated that while the


PDP had the security agents, the APC has the
people.
