Pro-Jonathan group salutes Nyako Nigerian politicians have been advised to emulate the courage exhibited by Adamawa State Governor Murtala Nyako. The governor, despite the heat on him by the House of Assembly dominated by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has remained unruffled. A pro-President Goodluck Jonathan group, Mass Movement for Goodluck (MMG), yesterday hailed Nyako for distinguishing between politics and integrity when he absolved Jonathan of complicity in the political crisis in Adamawa. The group’s National Leader Dr. Kenneth Ibe-Kalu said the governor’s disposition to the crisis was worthy of emulation by Nigerian politicians. “We, on behalf of Nigerians appreciate Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State for boldly and candidly announcing to the word that President Goodluck Jonathan has no hand in the impeachment saga going on in the state. “A statement of fact of this nature coming from an opposition governor is gratifying,” he said. Ibe-Kalu, who is also the Director-General of the Forum of Former Deputy Governors of Nigeria, noted that if politicians had imbibed such spirit, hurling derogatory remarks at those in positions of authority, especially the President, would not have become part of Nigeria’s politics. He said: “Nigerians, irrespective of party affiliation, should desist from desecrating the office and person of President Jonathan. This is because national leaders are symbols that should not be insulted. “A President is the President, irrespective of party affiliation. Positive criticisms are addictive to good governance, but criticisms arising from political vendetta are cancerous to any nation.”
