IS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN A REALLY CLUELESS-PRESIDENT? By Iyke Nwambie One of the things that I set out to research about President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is why some of his critics describe him as being clueless. And as I struggled to fix that name-tag on him, I discovered that his road construction projects in diverse places do not validate that name tag. Then another critic roared this phrase like thunder, Na road we go chop? And I showed him the fact that shows how President Jonathan had revamped the Nigerian agricultural sector to the extent that we now export Rice as a nation he hushed his aggression. Then one student asked me this, Sir, if this clueless President did all that for farmers what did he do for students as a former University don? And I reminded him of the fact that shows how this clueless President had built and revamped more Universities than any other Nigerian leader within his few years in office. And just before I could finish my last sentence, one other critic prompted me with a new question. He asked, ...but how come our economy is nose-diving under this clueless President, and as I chuckled at his remark I answered like this: ...If that was true, the Nigerian economy would not have been referred to as the NUMBER ONE economy in Africa. I even took time to remind him of the fact that that was the first time Nigeria was to be accorded that status...a status that was duly recognized and accepted by all the other African countries. And as that fellow raised the issue of traffic jams, I pointed him to the great work Mr President is doing in the area of the Nigerian Rail System as an alternative route of transportation...I even had to show him some pictures to see for himself. Then his wife wanted to know what this clueless President had for the feminine folks...And I was quick to show her how this President had appointed more women to head very strategic parastatals more than any other Nigerian President at any time. And gradually my once antagonistic friends lowered their tones in a more convivial gesture and whispered this question: But what about LIGHT? What about electricity? What about power? And I reminded them of the fact that with the PRIVATIZATION of the power sector, it will no longer be business as usual! And suddenly one of them joyfully interjected me with this remark: Now, I see why we dont have to change this working and wining team. But what about the issue of Boko Haram and security? she asked! Well, Boko Haram is only doing the bid of their paymasters who feel that no other Nigerian, except them can rule us...but as soon as Mr President gets elected again, they will get used to the idea that Nigeria belongs to everyone of us...And not just that...they will also know that every Nigerian can aspire to the highest office in the land regardless of religion, tribe or region...And that is one more reason why we must vote in Mr President for another four years. I said. Then one young girl asked me from the little crowd that was now forming, But sir, with all of these achievements, why do some people still refer to Mr President as being clueless? And I told her that I dont know...but if I could hazard a guess, it might just be because Nigerians have not been used to a President who is not into a lot of noise-making and gra-gra. This one is gentle, allows freedom of speech, obeys court rules and even empowers INEC to conduct free and fair elections all the time! Wow!!! That seems to make sense...Thanks for this prep...We now know...And we will spread the news around for everyone to hear...GEJ till 2019!!!. And Nice was all I could say...So, what do you say? Is Mr President really a clueless President after these achievements in the midst of a very hostile Boko Haram distractions? You tell me! God bless Nigeria!
