Jonathan Told Me & Obasanjo He Never Wanted To Be Vice-president - Donald Duke by metroparrot: 10:37am On Aug 11, 2015 |
[img]http://1.bp..com/-X4oba69v-8I/Vcm2TFZO9oI/AAAAAAAGMaA/O5mGyUkRb68/s1600/1.jpg[/img] Former governor of Cross River state Donald Duke says former President Jonathan told him and former president Obasanjo he never wanted to be the Vice president of Nigeria when he was selected to be the running mate to late President Umaru Yar'Adua for the 2007 general election. Donald Duke said this in an interview with news magazine, The Interviewer "You don’t give authority to an unwilling person, particularly in a country like Nigeria. Umaru never wanted to be president. He was dealing with his health issues and wanted to retire and go lecture in a university. He was really offered an appointment at the Ahmadu Bello University in Zaria. Jonathan, on the other hand, had just been re-elected to be governor of Bayelsa and when he was picked, he was not so pleased. He said to Obasanjo and me, ‘I don’t want this job". If these two men never aspired to the office but were recruited to take on a responsibility as daunting as the management of Nigeria without mentally preparing for the office and having a grand vision of where they wanted to take Nigeria to, then there is a problem. The mental preparation is absolutely important. The vision can be scripted for you, but if you are not prepared and you have no capable team to help you follow through, it is grossly unfair. It is like converting a passenger on an aircraft to a pilot.” http://www.metronaija.com/2015/08/jonathan-told-me-obasanjo-he-never.html cc: lalasticlala ishilove 97 Likes 12 Shares |

Then he(GEJ) came tried his best and bowed out honourably. Haters can only hate and try to down play his efforts towards a better Nigeria but his name is already written on marble. 214 Likes 16 Shares |

Choi, I should have thought of that.....so some cabals asked him to carry a load as big as Nigeria he knew nothing about? They forced him all the way from Deputy Governor to President of Nigeria. Well, his acts showed that he was really confused. Thank God we now have someone who has been trying to change Nigeria for good and now have the opportunity. Sai baba. 30 Likes |

From today onward I stop blaming GEJ for the atrocities he committed while in power. He was never interested. So why will the "ebora of owu" chief olusegun obasanjo impose a man who was never interested in governing Nigeria on Nigerians? Obasanjo is really to be blamed for turning a passenger into a pilot. When d plane (Nigeria) crashes like it has already, I won't blame the passenger cum pilot, but the useless man who put a passenger on the pilot sit and risk the life of all other passengers. And here lies a PMB who for the past 12years have been trying Genuinely to correct the wrongs of Nigeria. Now he is 72...really there is little he can achieve now at this age...shame on u obj 59 Likes 6 Shares |
