President Jonathan Has Failed In All Sectors – Yusuf By: Jonathan Nda-Isaiah on October 19, 2013 - 1:56am Comrade Ismaila Yusuf is the national chairman of Network for change and Good Governance, a political pressure group based in Abuja. In this interview with JONATHAN NDA-ISAIAH he declares that President Goodluck Jonathan has failed in every sector, but admits that nobody should ask him not to re contest in 2015 You are the chairman network of good governance, president Jonathan in his independent anniversary broadcast proposed a national dialogue and gone ahead to set up a committee, are you comfortable with it ,does it imply good governance in any way? I am satisfied with that if that will bring peace in the country, network for change and good governance is in support of that, without peace no investor will come and invest in Nigeria, I believe if that will bring peace to the country we are in support, all we want is peace, we are not a violent country, a peaceful country ,so we are in support about the committee set up by Mr President and the national conference There are fears that it may lead to the breakup of the country? I have never believed that Nigeria will break up and by the grace of our forefathers Nigeria will not break up, we have gone far as a country, we are brothers, its just a little misunderstanding, we can’t break up, anybody that thinks Nigeria is going to break up has another thought, he or she’s family will break up, we are all one; Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Igala, Igbira across the 36 states of the federation, we are one and we must live as one ,we will not break up, The same clamour by the G7 governors and what we call the new PDP, they threatened that if the president goes ahead and contest the 2015 election, the country will break up, do you share this view? The G7 governor will be the one to break up, not Nigeria, if they are fighting the president that’s another different issue, thinking Nigeria will break up, they will break up, Mr. president has a right to contest, he is a citizen of the country, I am not in support of Mr President anyway, but as a citizen of Nigeria they should allow him to contest, if you want to vote against him, fine, but telling him not to contest is against our constitution. As a citizen he is allowed to contest, if G7 governor are thinking if President Jonathan contest, Nigeria will break up, I pray they will break up too before Nigeria break up and Nigeria will not break up by the grace of God You said you are in support of the President, what exactly made you say that? Let me be honest here, the president is too calm, he is not the person that can lead this country, who is Boko Haram? A few group fighting our country, killing our economy and the president cannot call the names of the sponsors, he has intelligence report on all these people, he should fish them out, let the country be at peace, the President has failed in all sectors, absolutely he has failed, I am not in support of Mr President, but I am not saying he should not contest but I will not cast my vote for him because he has failed, he is not capable, I don’t think he is the type that can rule. Nigeria is too big for him. But he has been around for the past four years and you think Nigeria is too big for him ,apart from the Boko Haram issue that is of security concern, can you tell him in which other areas he has failed? He has failed In the area of fighting corruption, job creation, education sector, Mr President has failed, if I can mention three out of seven, the president has failed and those are the important things the masses need, job, education, so with this alone he has failed and it shows he is not capable and the people around him are not telling him the truth, he is not going out to see what is happening around the country, as a President you need people who will be honest with you, because if anything happens it will be on the your name, not on a governor or senator. So let him stand as a man because the people voted for him, not the big men, because it was the masses that voted for him, he has disappointed them. What if he wins again? Power comes from God,and nobody can take power from him, if that is what God wishes. Whoever that God wants will be there, if God that created everybody say its Jonathan that will rule for a second term in 2015, nobody and no one can stop it, not even the so called G7 governors or the APC, power comes from God, so it is left for God to decide who will rule Nigeria but what we are praying the masses is for a leader that will transform this country and develop it to our expectation, we need change, at least many of us have travelled out of this country, we have seen the good work in other countries, Nigerian leaders will steal money here, travel to other countries and invest there. At least steal the money and invest in Nigeria let people get job ,that is what we want. Most people think that calling for a national conference was a deceptive ploy to divert attention from those calling for President Jonathan not to run in 2015,do you think that is a fact? Everybody has his or her opinion, but I don’t think it’s a fact, Nigeria needs that committee set up by the President. To be honest, peace have to return, we shouldn’t look at everything as politics, we should be honest with ourselves, we should look at all angle of things. We should even commended the president for what he has done. For instance in the aspect of road and aviation he has done well, he is trying in that aspect, we should give him kudos and the aspect he is not doing well we will spell it out. I don’t see the committee set up by the president as being political. What advise do you have for the political leadership and northern elders in the sense of handling the Boko Haram issue? Northern elders have failed in this direction, the prolonged crisis suggestts that they have disappointed the north, I am from Kogi state and I know some of the northern leaders will not recognise me as a Kogi man but I am a northerner, when it comes to vote now they will say Kogi is in the north, I am a northerner, to be honest they have disappointed us, the problem in the north is not happening in the east or south, its happening in the north and the economy in the region is dying. I will suggest that on behalf of Mr president they can dialogue with those boys, we have northern elders forum, they can dialogue with them and found out what their problems are. They are killing the economy of the north, they should appeal to them to please calm down. killing innocent souls everyday is absolutely bad, I weep everyday about the northern leaders, they are not making any effort, they are not doing anything because perhaps their children do not live in the north, may be they live abroad, but they should remember they have relations in those villages, if your children are not there one of your family members are affected one way or the other. Time for election is coming and if they don’t stop this Boko Haram, it will affect them too, because they will like to go home and campaign. I don’t think they should arrest them, just sit down and talk round table talk, let peace return to the north Is there anything network for good governance is doing so that the problem will not be left for the government alone? Well I don’t know Boko Haram and I don’t know how to reach them we should, call pastor and imam to pray let peace return to the north because we can’t be watching the way people are dying, its very bad, innocent soul dying like fowl in the country, we have the best soldiers in Africa ,the best land soldiers and we can’t tackle the Boko Haram issue, not by killing or fighting them, call them, if I have the opportunity of knowing them I will call them ,stop what they are doing, but I don’t know them so we should continue praying, the leaders of the north should sit up, they have disappointed the youths, Nigeria is 53 and the son Nigeria gave birth to is a bastard called Boko Haram,the Boko Harm is fighting its father at the age 53, so what is the achievement then, they should call those boys to order ,settle them so that peace will return to the north
