Below are 7 excerpts from Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's autobiography, titled ‘My Watch’. 1. “I remember that in 1978 or 1979 Chief Awolowo visited me while I was military head of state and shared with me how he would always stay at home to attend to the work at hand and only make a private visit to the UK once a year for health reasons if he became president of Nigeria.” 2. “I made it clear to the chief that once he became president of Nigeria, he could have no private visit to anywhere as such. Wherever he would be, he would be on duty, and the totality of his life would be public. I jokingly added that the only privacy he might lay claim to would be when he was at home with Mama Chief H.I.D., and that even then his security staff would be on twenty-four-hour duty.” 3. “The unprepared and unplanned transition from Yar’Adua to Jonathan was a more difficult exercise in some respects. One reason was the ‘cloak and dagger’ manner in which Yar’Adua’s illness was handled. The illness of a President cannot be regarded as private. His health has implications for the security and wellbeing of the nation. For the president and those around him to have attempted strenuously to keep the fact of the severity of his illness from public smacks of ignorance of the enormity of what the job entails and the level of provinciality of their understanding, attitude, and approach.” 4. “Do not believe the president’s words, but should only his actions. The president seems to display the habit of pretending to have no knowledge of the very things he sanctions.” 5. “The news was fairly well-circulated that an elder statesman who formed a close relationship with President Jonathan very early in his presidency came to the conclusion, after six months, that the president has not got what it takes to lead. It was the same elder statesman who reportedly tried to jolt the president into action by telling him that there were five president in Nigeria, and these were his wife the first lady, Diezani, Oduah, Ngozi and the president himself, and that he was the weakest of the five.” 6. “I understand the president tried to make excuses for everyone, but President Jonathan is not too weak to be able to butter his bread and, if necessary, to engage the services of Satan to achieve his self-centered interests on the altar of all else.” 7. “The longest period that I have met one-on-one with the president was for one hour and ten minutes. That whole time, the president talked about nothing that was in the interest of Nigeria; instead he kept pointing out his supposed enemies and various matters that would not serve his interests. I could not stop myself from blurting out: “Mr President, no Nigerian should be your enemy. You have to be like rain falling on good and bad people alike. With that experience, I was not surprised that the president went dancing twenty-four hours after the Nyanya explosion.” |

The move to agree to the postponement of the election by Prof Jega was a very wrong uncalculated move. He caved in to pressure and that was a big misfire!! He should have stood his grounds and accuse the uselsess military of Mutiny, that would have been a more dramatic twist where all Nigerians would have stood behind him. Now their plans for postponing the elections is beginning to materialise!!! But resolute we stand behind this democracy...Jonathan ma te!!! 1 Like |

The polity in Nigeria is getting hot by the day.. power drunk people would not realize what this would result if it does happen,civil war is inevitable Just like the last biafra war.. It is the north and the sw fighting againSt the middle belt and the east..it started like this also The funny thing is that gej is prepared for this, he moved the military headquarters from the north to the east already and following the obasanjo story of the presidency training snipers and machinery the country I pray won't plunge to its darkest moment after the biafra war Please I advise people to be security conscious and I guess America's prediction is coming to pass after all Nigeria breaks 2015 |

judiciarypalava: Well, the 30000 new units would have been sited in the North....which includes the Middle Belt. The FCT was set to get a large number. It isn't only Hausas who live up North....you know. Minority tribes...including many that are pro PDP and lots of Southerners live up North. JEGA has been accused of receiving 15 laptops to assist the North in their registration Only 15 Laptops? Really? So...rigging will happen with just 15 laptops?? He has been accused of conniving with the powers that be in the North to rig the election in Buhari's favour, hence the need for the recent reshuffling of state resident commissioners. So that the 'born to rules' will take over again. First......state resident commissioners are always reshuffled before any election...as are Police commissioners.Plus....remember Gov Duke's disclosures in 2010 about how state governors connive with SEC's to rig? Jega is to be commended for closing that loophole. On the born to rule....Buhari may win because his party was better at building bridges. PDP on the other hand isn't. (And look at how they botched the reconciliation efforts). JEGA as been accused of relaxing the rules on collection of PVC's in the North by making use of the village heads to distribute some, hence the reason while the troubled states in the North will record higher % in collection more than some peaceful states in the South. Well....Northerners have been more mobilised to collect PVC'S. So far the only governors who have declared public holidays for PVC collection have been APC guys.How many of your Southern governors (apart from Lagos) have been serious about PVC collection. Let's face it....the North is really serious about this election. JEGA has been accused of denying the Ibos of their PVC's as it ws on GMB's perception that because of his role during the Biafran war, that Ibos are gearing to pay him back. He claimed it was due to loss of data. Unless you have actual proof that Jega has been denying Igbos their PVC's....I would have to take the above assertion as a fib. Imagine how many people that have been disenfranchised due to lack of personnel during this last registration in the South. Were as, a close friend of mine in the North had himself registered with out much stress. A situation were a polling station serving the almighty UNIBEN community was moved to merge with another polling station (Olukwu primary school) some kilometres away from the school with only one person manning the only laptop for the registration. The crowd there as at the last day was something else. There have been similar issues up North (Someone from Kaduna spent one week to collect his PVC. ) Again....this is where I would criticse Jega well well....it boils down to our fire brigade approach to things. Also...your PDP govt did not fund INEC projects on time....Jega at one time over a year ago complained about lack of adequate funds. Upon all the allegations, JEGA has not debunked any. Yes...probably because he sees no merit in them. Yes? And l ask, truly has JEGA been compromised? No wonder the APC has been agitating for the election to hold as planned no matter what the situation is, after all, they have perfected their game plan If Jega was APC....how do you explain Ekiti state going to the PDP? Or the other elections conducted under his watch that have gone to the PDP.?. In fact, l suspect international conspiracy considering US and UK's comment on the election postponement. Utter bosh. The real reason is the incompetence of INEC . and the refusal of PDP govt to fund INEC on time. Not the US or the UK....who benefit more from a united Nigeria than from a disunited one (High oil prices anyone?). This is our country and we will build it ourselves. Yes, and i daresay without tribalisim. God bless Nigeria. Amen. 3 Likes 1 Share |
