Jonathan Is Not Capable Of Leading Nigeria – Inuwa Abdulkadir

 
NIGERIA: A former Minister of Youths Development, Barrister Inuwa Abdulkadir, has called on Nigerians to vote out president Goodluck Jonathan during the 2015 presidential election, saying that the president is not capable of leading the nation.
 
DAILYPOST reports: According to Abdulkadir, the incessant massacre of well meaning Nigerians, increase in kidnapping cases and other crimes show that Jonathan is not capable of spearheading the affairs of the nation.
 
“How could people trust that, that man (Jonathan) is capable of preventing the menace crossing over some parts of the country?” he queried.
 
Abdulkadir told reporters that, “One has to exhibit the capacity and willingness to show that clearly, he is capable of leading the country to peace and tranquillity.”
 
He also said that Nigerians were not convinced that the suspension of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was not political, no matter how hard the presidency tries to justify its “unconstitutional” action.
 
The suspension, he said was in total disregard to the CBN act.
 
“It is a clear lack of capacity, lack of political will to stamp out corruption on the part of the President and I assure you that this action is politically motivated. No matter how the President wants to demarcate this issue, you can not separate them.
 
“Assuming that Sanusi had not blown the whistle, it would have been a different matter. I am glad that the Minister of Finance was bold enough to ask for forensic examination of the allegation which is a good development because if that is not done, Nigerians will continue to doubt the integrity and willingness of Mr. President to fight corruption,” he said.

Justice And The Killer Cop

  NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too.    Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state.   That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
