The insurgency we are now witnessing wouldnt have escalated if President Jonathan had taken decisive actions early enough. His advisers made him to believe people were against his government. Before he realized the enormity of what his government was facing, he had already alienated the people of that region and terribly embarrassed his government before the international community, thousands of lives have been wiped off and territories lost to insurgents. The current security situation has completely overwhelmed the president and he has no road map to solution. If his performance in security is woeful, his handling of corruption is even more damning. I was shocked when the President in a fit of anger thundered “I don’t give a damn”, when he was asked what he feels Nigerians will think over his refusal to declare his assets. In another occasion, he dazed Nigerians by saying “stealing is not corruption”. It became one scandal after another; Fuel subsidy fraud, Stella Oduah’s car scam, pension scam, recruitment scam, $20m missing fund, etc. In all these scandals nobody has gone down for it. It is bad enough that he is completely reluctant to fight corruption; it became worse when at every turn he started rationalizing it, the recent one, being his recent comment in Enugu where he pilloried Buhari for jailing Nwobodo for stealing small money.
