Immediately after President Goodluck
Jonathan was elected and sworn in on the
29th May, 2011, He promised to
fundamentally change the way things were
done in Aso villa, Abuja, to usher in an era of
unprecedented transparency and fight the War
on Terror without compromising Nigerian
values.
Just as he appreciated the votes of about
58.89% of Nigerians who gave him their
mandates by voting for him as the results of
the 2011 election results were announced.
Today his job approval rating ranges from
25-40% (based on various opinion polls).
This drop in job approval rating might cost
his fellow party members especially those in
Northern Nigeria the likes Mallam Nuhu
Ribadu and Co. in the forth-coming elections.
Many Nigerians home and abroad have rated
this administration below average in different
sectors, some of which includes the
following; security, economy, education e.t.c
These Set of Nigerians might have strong
reasons to rate this administration below
average in terms of performance for many
reasons. In the next few lines I would
summarise some of the promises made by
our dear President during his 2011
inauguration speech so as to ascertain
whether Nigeria has progressed or
retrogressed under President Jonathan’s
administration and does he really deserve our
“Votes”
SECURITY
There had been patches of violent eruptions
here and there before our dear President
Goodluck Jonathan assumed power but the
situation got worse under his watch, with a
confirmation from him recently that he
underestimated Boko Haram. Boko haram
under president Goodluck evolve from a
group of extremist that uses, Dane-guns,
clubs, bows and arrows, to a well-trained
army that had the mercenaries that were able
to attack using tanks, rocket propelled
grenades, general purpose machine guns.
Under president Jonathan 13,000 of our
compatriots were either slaughtered or
bombed, 2 million Nigerians became refugees
in their own country, about 13,000Kmsq of
land was overtaken by the terrorist. Of recent
90 precious lives were lost in Benue with the
president still being quiet as if Benue is not a
state in Nigeria.
POWER
In 2011 The Federal Government through the
then Minister of Power, Professor Bart Nnaji
announced the improvement in the electricity
generation capacity of the Nation to about
4,273MW. But as of January 28, 2015
according to information released by THE
TRANSMISSION COMPANY OF NIGERIA, The
country is currently losing 2,042.2 megawatts
of electricity due to gas supply shortage and
poor water management. The 411 G2 and G4
units of the Shiroro hydro power plant are
currently losing 300MW, while the loss of
1,742.2MW is attributed to gas supply
shortage at various legacy gas-fired power
plants, including the National Integrated
Power Project plants, which leaves our power
generation at a mere over 2,000MW, which
therefore means Nigeria as a nation might
have retrogressed in terms of power
generation under the watchful eyes of
President Goodluck Jonathan.
IMPUNITY
If we were in a country where the rule of Law
is strictly adhered to, our dear President
Goodluck Jonathan would have face
indictment or impeachment due to what
happened in #EKITIGATE, the body language
seems to be like we are friends to criminal
impunity and some group of Nigerians are
clearly above the Law. I have not seen any
sign of regrets and repentance from our Dear
President or his party whom have gotten so
used to being friends of abuse of power by
the nomination of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro
to serve as a minister as this is another
reason why every right thinking Nigerian
would think twice on voting for President
Jonathan again. Impunity was taken to
another level under this very inept
administration; Just months back, the
number four citizen of this great and blessed
country Rt. Honorable Tambuwal was
prevented access to his office by junior police
officers that acted on others from above not
forgetting the new laws of arithmetic by this
administration during the Governors forum
elections where 16 was said to be greater
than 19. President Jonathan rendered
democracy meaningless where it should be
most fervently exemplified.
PROTECTION OF WHISTLE-BLOWERS
In Ekiti, it was all about Capt. Sagir Koli, a
patriotic Army officer who blew the whistle
on the #EKITIGATE While Captain Koli upheld
his oath of office, his boss Brigadier Momoh
who betrayed the country has been allowed
to keep his job and salary while Captain Koli
has to go into hiding to avoid being
assassinated.
Last year it was about a former Governor of
Central Bank, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi
who is now the Emir of Kano, he now
occupies one of the most revered thrones in
Northern Nigeria.
The man alleged that a sum of 20 billion
Dollars got lost or was misappropriated by
the Jonathan lead administration. The man
was quickly suspended or put on
administrative leave. Compared to his
predecessors, Jonathan has been extremely
aggressive in his persecution of
whistleblowers
There are over a thousand reasons on how
President Jonathan has failed Nigerians but,
there are other sectors of the economy in
which the current administration made some
positive impacts; remodeling of the Airports
(though he can still do better than that), Dr.
Akinwuni Adesina has done far better than
his predecessors in the Agric sector, so also
the president has revamp some of the rail
lines. However, his achievements when
compared to the massive looting, killing of
innocent Nigerians, prolong strikes by labour
unions (JOHESU, ASUU, ASUP…), impunity,
empowering ethnic militias (Niger delta
militants, OPC, MASSOB) devaluation of
naira, high un-employment rate, high poverty
rate… (it’s an endless list) one can conclude
that President Jonathan has failed the over
22 million people that voted for him in 2011
and also the Nation in general, hence
president Jonathan doesn’t really deserve our
Votes this time around.
