A former member of the House of Representatives, and Executive Secretary, Anti-corruption Network, Otumba Dino Melaye has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to forget his 2015 ambition.
According to him, the handwriting is on the wall that he will fail woefully.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, the former lawmaker noted that president Jonathan lacked the ability and capacity to win any other election in the country.
Melaye said the best option left for the president is to announce that he would not contest in the coming election.
He avowed that even if Jonathan drops his second term ambition, it would not stop Nigerians from demanding the probe of his administration.
The activist noted that Jonathan has presided over the most corrupt government in the history of the country.
Asked why he was so sure that Jonathan would fail woefully if he runs for a second term, he said the president’s poor calculation in determining the speaker of the House of Representatives and chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum as well as his being deserted by the People’s Democratic Party(PDP)’s governors, were the basis of his conclusions.
He said, “If the president is sensitive enough, he ought to have known that he is surrounded by people who lack dexterity and strategy, he should know that he does not have the political wherewithal to even attempt to contest the 2015 election. When he fielded the candidate for the speaker of the House of Representatives, he was defeated woefully and this is the first time in the history of the country that a president could not have a say on who becomes the speaker.”
