Jonathan-led administration has woefully failed – Shehu Sani

Civil right activist, Shehu Sani during an interview with LEADERSHIP stated that President Goodluck Jonathan has failed in “all factors of leadership”, adding that the president is an accidental leader who came into power without a plan. So far, the President Goodluck Jonathan- led administration is a typical example of a leadership that has woefully failed. He has failed from the political and economic angle. He has failed in all factors of leadership. You have leaders who came in with vision, mission and with experiences, and also you have leaders who learn on the job; Jonathan is neither of the two. He is a man who happens to be in power by accident and since that very time, the whole nation and its people have been in ambush and it is unfortunate that such kind of person will lead a country that is supposed to play a leading role in the socio- economic and political transformation of Africa. A nation of about 164 million people which other African countries look unto and now we are looking unto the west. So, I think this is the lowest in the history of Nigeria where we have a leader that does not even know what leadership is. All his actions have been wrong and has consistently and gradually been pushing this country into perdition. He said Sani, President of Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria (CRCN) and an ex-Boko Haram negotiator also registered his displeasure at the presence of foreign “intelligence experts” and” negotiators” on Nigeria soil. He however stated that the more than 200 abducted Chibok girls have to be rescued as soon as possible “before the sect brain-washes” them. The United States, UK, France and China did not send soldiers that would storm Boko Haram camp and free the girls. They only sent two experts on intelligence gathering that would help with advice on our Army. Secondly, they sent a team of negotiators. I am completely opposed to the presence of foreign forces in my country. I am a revolutionist and a pan-Africanist who cherish the defence of my country and continent. And I fully believe that these are African issues and could be addressed the African way. It is shameful for France to invite the presidents of Cameroon, Benin- Republic, Niger and Nigeria to come and sit down and talk about how to protect a part of Nigeria. I think we should have a re-think and should understand that this is a national issue that requires a resilient spirit and a determination to fight it. Any attempts to use force to rescue these girls will end up in tragedy. And it is better we do it earlier before the sect brain-washes the girls. Shehu Sani led former President Olusegun Obasanjo to Boko Haram territory in Maiduguri in September 2011, to broker peace between the federal government and the sect but the agreement apparently went sideways.
