Nigeria Governed by Thugs?




Goodluck Jonathan's incapacity for depth is gradually unfolding to the consciouness of Nigerians and global monitors of ideas and facts. The most recent of his charade is to mobilize thugs and cultist from his geopolitical constituency to psychologically harass and intimidate Nigerians.

In their first press conference held last week at Abuja, they threatened to deal with any person who challenges Jonathan's government. Today, 13/01/2012 in Port Harcourt, they held a public display chanting war songs and drumming in public glare over an issue of national effect like fuel subsidy removal. This is appauliing in any sphere of imagination or contemplation.

All these are indication of the parochial mindset which underscores President Jonathan's consciousness. If Jonathan believes that cultist and street thugs can protect him better than the Nigerian army, then one understands why he had to move the nation's national day celebration to his palour in Aso rock, because the same thugs threatened bombing on that day.

These are supportive of our position that Jonathan falls short of the credentials which qualifies a presidential mind. As a country with vision and a future, he lacks the requisite mindset that convey our assurances of a development focussed future. If that is the case, then let all forms of bad leadership as epitomized by this government go, because the jinx that underpays Nigeria's development and progress can not be sustained.

Nigeria is too large in esteem to be governed and directed by the sentiments of hired thugs, whether they are Niger Delta based, Boko Haram or of any other definition.

Jonathan will fall if his imagination is to reduce Nigeria to the limitations that underpins his identity.
