Danjuma Visits Jonathan, Avoids Endorsement by ducii: 11:40am On Mar 11, 2015 |
A former Minister of Defence, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma, on Wednesday met behind closed-doors with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The meeting which lasted for about 15 minutes, was held inside the President’s residence in the early hours of the day. Jonathan received Danjuma, who is the Chairman of the Victims Support Fund, in front of his residence and also saw him off to the same spot. As Jonathan and his guest moved towards his waiting car, State House correspondents approached Danjuma for comment on the purpose of the early morning meeting. Flanked by the President with some presidential aides standing behind him, the former minister described the agenda of the short meeting as confidential. When reminded that the meeting was coming at a crucial time when the nation was preparing for general elections, Danjuma warned the reporters not to speculate about the purpose of the visit. He said having just returned to the country from a foreign trip, he needed to see Jonathan and find out developments in the country. “Don’t speculate. I came to visit the President and find out how things are going. I have been abroad. I just came back,” he said. When asked whether he was ready to support Jonathan’s re-election, Danjuma said he could not canvass votes for anybody because he does not belong to any political party. “I don’t canvass (for votes). I am not in any of the political parties. The President is Nigeria’s President,” he simply said. After the short press interview, Jonathan saw his guest off to his car and later retired into his residence with his aides. Danjuma in January drew the wrath of some ex-Niger Delta militants, including Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo and Government Ekpemupolo (a.k.a Tompolo), when he called for their arrests for threatening war if Jonathan loses the forthcoming election. Apart from declaring the former minister persona non grata in the region where Jonathan hails from, the ex-militants also demanded apology from Danjuma within seven days or face their wrath. The repentant militant leaders said in a statement issued in Port Harcourt, that Danjuma was among Northerners who had become very comfortable in life because of the oil money from Niger Delta. http://www.punchng.com/news/danjuma-visits-jonathan-avoids-endorsement/ |

The fact that the meeting only lasted for about 15 minutes is an indication that it didn't go well. GEJ would have loved to use it as a campaign tool had Danjuma played the game. But now, water don pass Garri. Brief meetings are a sign of absence of comfort between the parties involved. Jona is a Goner! 72 Likes 2 Shares |

PassingShot: If the meeting had lasted for hours you would have criticised the president saying that he is wasting precious time seeking for endorsements instead of attending to national matters. Na wa o! 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Danjuma is one of the most bold and principled former Nigeria general and would not sell himself off to the clueless one because of ordinary portage. coming at the time brings a set back to GEJ's reelection ambition. Although I wouldn't blame Danjoma for not endorsing a failure because nobody want to associate him or herself with failures. And to all GEJ robots on this platform may your creators run your life the way GEJ has run the administration of this Nation !!! SAI Danjuma !!

Apparently he came to know what would happen to his oil wells in Jonathan’s South - South. All them Thieves are in Panic. Jonathan is most likely to win this election. And the oil Thieves who got licenses through dubious military regimes are now having clandestine meetings with the most likely person to win the election. Expect Atiku, Mai Deribe etc to pay their own visits soon. If not, kiss your oil wells good bye come 2016. Its time to know that the oil belongs to some people. They are afraid of the implementation of the National Conference recommendations which would most likely give the oil wells back to the host States. Mind you, I am from Enugu without any oil well. And despite all that facts, Jonathan surprised us by transforming almost every Sector in Just over five years. Now I can go to Europe from my back yard in Enugu and you want me to vote for Change. Change what exactly? 22 Likes 4 Shares |

smakati:If U grew up seeing the likes of Danjuma turn to billionaires overnight on d oil wells in Ur backyard, while U live in abject poverty,believe me,U will do worse than Tompolo them. If U grew up amidst difficulty to farm or even find portable water because of oil spills,whilst d Danjumas,Abachas,Indimis,Mai Deribes come from faraway north and turn to billionaires overnight on that same oil,believe me,U'll do worse than Asari and Tompolo. Take a trip to let's say Bayelsa and see d effects of oil spillage,U will nearly cry,farmlands rendered useless,streams condemned. I am not from d Niger delta,but give it to them,they have had patience. If this oil d whole country is feeding on were to be in d North,especially d so called 'core' north,the country would've been divided since. 9 Likes |
