FINISHING: ODIA OFEIMUN DEALS A POWERFUL BLOW TO MEDIOCRITY ONE remarkable paradox about the 2015 General Election is that it ought to be a referendum on whether President Goodluck Jonathan has done well in Agriculture, Aviation, Road construction, Education, Health and especially Ebola, Railways, Electricity, and whether he achieved the purpose of putting constitutional reforms on the agenda of the Nigerian state as most Nigerians have been asking for since the beginning of the Fourth Republic. It is simply true, and provable, that in these areas, Jonathan has done exceedingly better than his illustrious predecessor, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a very remarkable under-achiever, who has been needling him on all grounds and coking the mythology that Goodluck Jonathan has no clue. It is also quite true that President Jonathan’s achievements have been made possible in spite of the devious antics of stalwarts of his political party, the People’s Democratic Party; a party on the verge of earning a National merit award for looting the treasury, a malfeasance for which so many of its former executives are in court awaiting the kind of long trials that give a stinking name to the judiciary. - See more at: m.ngrguardiannews/en/editorial-opinion/columnist/195339-ofeimun-the-2015-election-and-after-1#sthash.IO0asqsW.dpuf Ofeimun, a renowned poet and very respected colleague, is a former President of the Association of Nigerian Authors.
