Jonathan
Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan has been accused of leading the country into a path of ruin.
The National Coordinator, Mass Movement for Buhari, MMB, Dr. Kenneth Ibe-Kalu, who made the assertion on Tuesday, called on Nigerians to support the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
He maintained that the incumbent president and the presidential standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan was leading Nigeria into the Golgotha instead of the Promised Land.
Ibe-Kalu, who said he was a staunch member of the Mass Movement for Jonathan, MMJ, until 2013 and also the former Director General of the Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria, said he quit PDP and the movement when he discovered that Jonathan did not mean well for Nigerians especially the people of the South-East.
According to Dr. Ibe-kalu, Jonathan was clueless and lacked vision of how to move Nigeria forward and this prompted him and some of his friends to kiss goodbye to anything that has to do with President Jonathan.
The MMB national Coordinator not only accused Jonathan of ineptitude but also accused him of being insensitive and nonchalant to the yearnings and aspiration of the people.
“For 13 months we realised that we were on a wrong journey and in the wrong direction. The people we were campaigning for were inaccessible”, he stated.
Ibe-Kalu said with zeal they were able to work for Jonathan for 13 months and that over 3.6 million people were joining the band-wagon of Mass Movement for Jonathan and that they also created 13 chapters in other countries of the world to the extent that some group in Australia had to donate an aircraft in support of the movement until they discovered the futility of the mission.
“Leadership is all about accessibility. How can you tell the leaders that this is what and what we want when we cannot access our leaders? When you are working for a leadership, you should be honoured and respected,” he pointed out.
The national coordinator, who was sore displeased with the President and the ruling party, the PDP said that they stole intellectual property and would not reward the originator.
“They steal a lot of intellectual property. You bring a programme, they will not accept it or pretend to ignore it but will begin to implement it. When they say that the President is clueless, they are right”, Dr. Ibe-Kalu lamented.
He averred that it was because Jonathan lacked initiative that Nigeria had not been able to curtail insurgency in the North East and pointed out that when Buhari was the military president, he was able to quell the Maitasine uprising.
He corrected an erroneous impression that Buhari when voted into power would Islamise Nigeria noting that since he as a military ruler could not Islamise Nigeria, he would not do so under a democratic process where the Constitution is supreme.
Dr. Ibe-Kalu maintained that Jonathan was anti-Igbo called on Ndigbo to vote Buhari en-masse in the forthcoming presidential election. because under Jonathan, Igbos had not faired well because they had no prime place in the scheme of things.
