2015 Election; No Second Term For GEJ- The Nation....

It is just as well that President Goodluck Jonathan has not formally announced that he will be seeking re-election next year. He should not. In fact, he should go one step further and declare, today, in the manner of former U.S. President William Sherman, that he will not be a candidate for the 2015 presidential election; that if nominated, he will decline, and that if elected, he will refuse to serve.

More than any other incident in his accidental presidency, his shambolic handling of the abduction of more than 200 girls from the Government Secondary School, Chibok, in #Borno State by elements of the nihilistic terrorist organisation #BokoHaram, has called into serious question his fitness for the job
It is not that he had shown the mental alertness and sure-footedness his office demands in handling many crises that have rocked his administration. But the #Chibok abduction and his manner of dealing with it has exposed his inadequacies as never before, and not just to his compatriots who always had their doubts. Now, the whole world has a good idea of the leader of Africa’s most populous country and largest economy, home to the largest aggregation of black humanity.
Several days after the abduction, a spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, of which Dr Jonathan is commander-in-chief, announced to the relief of a traumatised nation that the girls had been freed. Only when challenged a few days later did the spokesperson take back the claim. The army, he said without remorse and without shame, has been “misled.”
