I was not forced to concede defeat to Buhari - Jonathan

-

Goodluck Jonathan has said that his
decision to concede defeat to Muhammadu
Buhari after the 2015 presidential election
was based on the pursuit of achieving peace
for the country and not an order from
anyone.
The former president made this comment on
Saturday, December 17 when he was awarded
a honorary doctorate degree at Bingham
university alongside General Yakubu and GEJ
In a series of tweets via his official account,
Jonathan spoke highly about the former head
of state while he also insisted that his desire
for peace and stability in Nigeria remains
strong.
Here are eight memorable quotes from
Jonathan’s speech below:
As a military leader Gen Gowon used the
rifle and bayonet as weapons of unity. Today
he used the Holy Bible and 'Nigeria Prays' to
unite us

I Am Voting Atiku And This Is Why

  The poster's Facebook account We are not electing a pastor. We are electing a President. We are not seeking a messiah- we are seeking a man who understands the fundamentals of a modern society and has the requisite wherewithal to provide leadership to a nation. Nigerians are not looking for angels to vote for. We just want someone who will provide reasonable leadership, understand the basics of the economy, demonstrate a balanced understanding of the different geographies that make up Nigeria, be cosmopolitan in approach and be fair to all. Atiku ticks these boxes for me. In addition, out of ALL the candidates, he's the only one talking about restructuring.  I believe the greatest danger to Nigeria is Muhammadu Buhari. Never has the nation been so factionalized along tribal and religious lines like now. He has taken nepotism to unprecedented heights. His incompetence stares you so much in the face that you can't ignore it.  He has pauperized the economy. H...

Jimi Agbaje Explains Why He Is Not Campaigning Yet. Many Lagosians have criticised Jimi Agbaje for being "too quiet" and not making his presence felt in the political landscape of Lagos. The criticisms come in two forms: 1) Some people say that Mr Agbaje is only seen when it's time to contest elections and then he disappears after losing the election and is not seen until four years later when it's time to contest another election. They say that he doesn't speak out about the issues that affect Lagosians in the intervening years between elections. For example, they say that he didn't say anything when issues like poor refuse collection and terrible traffic jams were plaguing Lagosians. Some people compare him to Engineer Funsho Williams who always spoke about issues that affected Lagosians, regardless of whether it was an election year or not. naptu2 : Funsho Williams vs Dele Alake Circa late 2003-2005. That was fun! That's what opposition i...

''We'll shut down Nigeria if FG goes ahead to arraign Onnoghen'' - Militants warn

A coalition of Niger Delta militants have vowed to shut down the country if the Federal Government continues in its planned arraignment of the Chief of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Walter Onneghen. Recall that Jutice Onnoghen, an Indigine of Cross Rivers state, has been asked to vacate his seat over his refusal to declare all his assets and is scheduled for arraignment before the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja tomorrow January 14th.  In a statement issued by General John Dukku of the Niger Delta Watchdogs and Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators today January 13th, the coalition of militants said President Buhari never wanted the appointment of Onnoghen as the CJN and are not surprised that efforts are being made to remove him from office. They argue that Onnoghen is being humilated because he is from the South South. The militants warned all non indigenes who own oil wells in the coastal area to prepare to vacate their zone, while asking al...
