Jonathan Goodluck
I think i know Musa a little bit. I played squash with him once while t Abuja. It does not count if his health his failing him now. Ali for example. A man at Fifty-Seven can not be compared to a man at Fifty-three, can they ? Be not amazed at the BBC Report which was done in haste, else, analyze this line . . .
"In his first interview since then, by telephone, Umaru Yar'Adua said he hoped to make "tremendous progress" and return home to resume his duties."
Why resume ? His he not still in control ? Did he not sign a budget ? Newsflash...BBC should be careful. We have a new Gbenga Adeboye and the voice is impeccable.The telephone call should have been made to any of our media, if not NTA. Abi NTA no get communication lines again ?
I strongly believe that a man as slow and fragile as it may look will never support the fact that Nigeria should be thorn to shreds at the feet of his health. That much i know.
But what baffles me most is the criminal silence and inaction by the Vice-President to salvage the situation. His Press Office seems to be the doing a good job in the bad way. We all know that information is power. Who is Jonathan ? His anyone faithful to him ? What are they waiting for to take action ? War ? God forbid.
Lets view it all:
If the Vice-President refuses to to be given the mantle of Leadership, the following are likely to take place.
-More kidnapping in the delta;
-Militants uprising that could lead to ethnic clashes;
-Reactionary attacks;
-Military Intervention(We pray not);
If another person takes Office instead of the incumbent Vice-President, we are going to face the following situation.
-Party crises;
-Regional Attacks that may lead to breakdown of law and order;
-National disintegration(We pray not);
What duties is he obliged to observe as a Vice-President ? Was a letter not written to him by the President ? Why can he not use the same letter and rejoinder or addendum from him to seek to act and salvage the media war on the presidency ? His he not supposed to protect the presidency by oat ? His he supposed to allow the Nation notice a vacuum ? If the presidency never wrote him, can he not write the National Assembly in the interest of Unity and Peace ? His the news in Nigeria, home and abroad not bothering him ? Hi he that timid or does he think his silence means Loyalty ? Who is he loyal to in the first instance ? The institution of the presidency or a name ?
I believe that if he comes into office within the next forty-eight hours, he will make new friends, new enemies, fresh allies...a change that one can not yet predict. If he does not come into Office withing the next two (2) days and yet maintain silence, it can be just one thing.
He can not be both, he can not be none. He must be a coward or a fool.I rest my case till Friday.
Bro. Jonathan, take action.
