(Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a Godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 7. NO 276. 25th November, 2018.] “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

WHO WOULD HAVE SHED HIS BLOOD FOR JONATHAN'S AMBITION?

The erstwhile Nigerian President, Dr. Ebele Jonatahan should not have documented any book to justify his action or inaction while in office or during his "Transition Hours", but should have let posterity judge him because no amount of propaganda would erase the TRUTH in respect of his stewardship! He should have allowed the "sleeping dog lie!"

Beginning with his kinsmen, of the very small Bayelsa State of the South-South Geo-Political Zone whose Governor Seriake Dickson, once told Jonathan face to face that his tenure as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria neither rubbed off nor benefitted his native land in any way in spite of his unusual/providential opportunity of rising from nothingness to power, prestige, honour and affluence!

If Dr. Ebele Jonathan did not "CONCEDE DEFEAT" to the incumbent President to whom he lost at the close of elections in 2015, with over 2.5 million votes, heavens would not have fallen and the failed candidate's sing-song as an AFRICAN HERO would not be gaining currency as some People’s Democratic Party (PDP), apologists and political jobbers want the world to hypocritically continue to believe!

With his lack-lustre five-year abysmal performance in office as Nigeria's providential President, political pundits/analysts/critics did not placate his ego at all, but also told him bluntly that he was "a clueless guy" in those opportuned years in office!
However on Wednesday 22nd November, 2018, the man in the centre of the storm claimed that his adversaries/protagonists were  economic with the truth and that his tenure heralded  phenomenon economic growth, the most prominent of which was the 2013 declaration of Nigeria as the largest economy in Africa; Election of Nigeria into the Security Council of the United Nations TWICE and also that a Nigerian, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, his former Minister of Agriculture, became the President of the African Development Bank (ADB), for the first time!

"MY TRANSITION HOURS" IS AN EXPOSE' OF HALF TRUTHS!
EBELE JONATHAN was no doubt inordinately ambitious because he reneged on his campaign promise not to contest in 2015 in order not to break the ZONING FORMULA of the North/South divide - having constitutionally taken over the mantle of office shortly after the unexpected demise of President Musa Yar' Ardua, of blessed memory in 2010, and also not to exceed ONE TERM IN OFFICE!

On 31st January, 2011, in answer to an electoral franchise request by Diaspora Nigerians in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, during the African Union (AU), Summit, the ex-president said:  "I would have loved that Nigerians in Diaspora vote this year. But to be frank with you, that is going to be difficult now. "Nigerians in the Diaspora will not vote, but I will work towards it by 2015, even though I WILL NOT BE RUNNING FOR ELECTION!" But he denied making such pact with neither his Party nor the Nigerian Electorate!

CORRUPTION INDEX DURING JONATHAN'S TENURE!
In March 2018, Federal Government released a short list (described as a tip of the iceberg), of TREASURY LOOTERS during the 16 sordid years of PDP consecutive administrations from 1999-2015: Top on the list was current Chairman of the inglorious and unrepentant party, Uche Secondus, who on 19th February, 2015, took N 200 million only from the office of the then NSA!
Others who also took money from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), are: Then Financial Secretary on 24th October, 2014, took N 600 million only; then National Publicity Secretary, Olisah Metuh, on trial for collecting N 1.4 billion; Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Chairman of DAAR Communications, on trial for taking N 2.1 billion; former SSA to President Jonathan, Dudafa Waripamo-Owei, on trial over N 830 million kept in accounts of four different companies; former President Jonathan's Cousin Robert Azibaola, whom a Federal High Court has ruled has a case to answer for collecting $ 40 million from the Office of the NSA.
The official release further states that many of the cases were in court while some of the people are seeking plea bargain adding that "...... Nigeria was looted blind under the watch of the PDP,  and the starting point in tendering an apology is for them to return the loot...... but PDP is a hypocrite.....They brought Nigeria to this sorry pass. We are now looking for loans to build infrastructure and they ask us not to talk about it. We will talk about it." Uche Secondus and Raymond Dokpesi challenged their accusation in court but returned with disgrace as the ruling favoured the Federal Government which described them as LOOTERS!
During Jonathan's tenure, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Abuja Headquarters was stuck with a public appellation as FOUR TOWERS OF CORRUPTION and prove Nigerians right, the then Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Allison Madueke, was fingered in several dirty financial deals including the hiring of private jets for an outrageous and deafening sum of N 10 billion naira in ONE MONTH and which she justified with a wave of hand just as the then National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), has claimed that he disbursed the sum of US $ 2.1billion dollars to the LOOTERS on the instructions of the ex-president who is yet to deny the allegation! He was the President who was quoted as saying that, "STEALING WAS NOT CORRUPTION"! 

Already, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), has begun the extradition procedure with the British Government to bring back the former minister who escaped to London since the advent of the APC Change Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, to Nigeria to face criminal charges! Though Jonathan was cautioned by Northern members of PDP and the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), of failure at the 2015 polls, he turned a deaf ear because of the POWER OF INCUBENCY, only to turn around after his defeat to publish a BOOK OF LAMENTATION, titled, "MY TRANSITION HOURS", launched at an elaborate occasion to celebrate his 61st birthday in Abuja on Tuesday 20th November, 2018, with past Nigerian and West African Presidents and Heads of Government, in attendance!

JONATHAN'S ACCUSATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENTS ON HIS BOOK!
Jonathan in the 194-page book accused so many people, including, party members, the main opposition party All Progressives Congress (APC), of collusion in the plot that eventually culminated in his woeful defeat in 2015, EXCEPT HIMSELF! In the book, he exonerated the then Federal Government for its inability to rescue the abducted 257 CHIBOK GIRLS because  APC was in control of BORNO STATE, accused former United States President, Barak OBAMA and his Secretary of State, John Kerry, of failing to support rescue operations launched by his security forces to rescue the girls; and restated that his resolve that his ambition was not worth the "BLOOD OF ANY NIGERIAN", culminated in his decision to throw in the towel even before the counting of ballots was over to concede defeat! And whereas, while in office the ex-president, said that he did not believe that any girl was abducted and that the allegation was a smoke screen by the opposition to discredit his administration!

Other lamentations included, "mass defection of some governors of his party to the opposition for personal ambitions and Northern leaders socio-political groups which sabotaged his ambition and clamoured for the presidency to be returned to their region! He denied all corruption allegations especially the missing USD $ 49.8 billion and was categorical that the accusation existed as a figment of the imagination of his accusers adding that the matter died a natural death!

KASHIM SHETTIMA'S COMMENTS!
In a swift re-action on Wednesday 21st November, 2018, Borno State Governor Kashim Shettima, described the book as “elementary in content, full of tales, containing fictions" and also described the former President as a LIAR who tried unsuccessfully to hide facts/truths in respect of the abducted Chibok Girls under the carpet!
He also alleged that Jonathan deliberately omitted details of the after-thought "fact-finding committee" belatedly constituted by him to investigate immediate or remote causes which led to the ugly incident adding that Jonathan's government mishandled the issue of the very embarrassing abduction! Shettima said he was very disappointed that the book fell short of the courage expected of a person of Jonathan's calibre to even publish findings of a panel set up by his government!

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S COMMENTS ON JONATHAN'S BOOK!
Although, out of sheer diplomatic courtesy, the Federal Government was represented at the Jonathan's Book launch by the Secretary to Government, Presidential Spokesperson Garba Shehu, later commented that the ex-president LIED by claiming that his administration's corruption global index and by extension, of PDP's 16 inglorious years of mindless looting of the common patrimony, was far better than the impunity now being witnessed in the nation!

ORIGINAL AND FAKE JONATHAN'S BOOK OF 194 AND 254 PAGES RESPECTIVELY!
Original author of "My Transition Hours", ex-President Jonathan has cried foul against the fake version of his new book describing it as the work of "a mischievous person with ulterior agenda" and expatriated that his book had 194 pages while the fake one was extended to 254! He condemned the release and circulation ONLINE of soft copies of the fake document which he said contained inaccurate information and solicited for interested buyers to get the original directly from him!
DID JONATHAN HAVE TO WRITE TALES BY MOONLIGHT? CAN A FAILED CONTESTANT CONCEDE DEFEAT OR CONCEDE VICTORY? DID HE MAKE COMMONSENSE OR UNCOMMON SENSE? EX-PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO WHO CHAIRED THE BOOK LAUNCH SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR DRAGGING HIS UNPREPARED GOD-SON OUT OF HIS NATIVE BAYELSA IN 2007 INTO THE MURKY WATERS OF THE PRESIDENCY POLITICS WHICH DROWNED HIM!  Does Jonathan really need proceeds from this book strategically launched close to the 2019 general elections? "Thou shalt know the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free! (John. 8:32).
