“Nigeria A Sinking Ship
Under Jonathan” – Ribadu; “You Are A Tyrant and Ingrate” – FGN
By Ben Agande
ABUJA — The Presidency, yesterday,
reacted to the assertion by former chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu that Nigeria under President
Goodluck Jonathan is a ‘sinking ship’.
It said that Ribadu is an ingrate
considering what the Jonathan administration did for him on his return from
self-imposed exile.
Mallam Ribadu at a lecture in Kaduna
on Saturday said Nigeria, under President Goodluck Jonathan, was a sinking ship
in which the yearnings of the masses were being neglected by a tyrannical
leadership.
Reacting to Ribadu’s claim, the
Presidency, in a statement, yesterday, by the Special Adviser to the president
on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, said in his quest for relevance, Ribadu
has resorted to disparaging leaders of the land to satisfy his new leaders.
According to the statement: “The
Presidency totally rejects the false, hypocritical and self-serving claim by
Mallam Nuhu Ribadu at a lecture in Kaduna on Saturday that Nigeria under
President Goodluck Jonathan is a “sinking ship” in which the yearnings of the
masses are being neglected by a tyrannical leadership. http://newsrescue.com/nigeria-sinking-ship-jonathan-ribadu-tyrant-ingrate-fgn/#ixzz3AmuYuCSJ
Jonathan has
surpassed my vision for Nigeria~ Nuhu Ribadu.
....Picks PDP nomination form to contest for Adamawa Governor, bombs Amaechi.
Hear him:
"With due respect to governor Amaechi, he is simply hungry for power and do not know how to go about it, except with money. I may not know how to become the President of Nigeria, but I know it's never for the highest bidder and it's never up for sale. It's an undeniable fact, that President Jonathan has done well for Nigeria in such a very short time, and I think he is the answer to the prayer of many Nigerians. I must not be President, but I have vowed to support anyone who shares the same vision I have for Nigeria. And take it from me, President Jonathan has surpassed my vision for Nigeria"~He said.

My candid take on a man who
double speaks is very unfortunate. A couple of months ago he condemned
President as being incompetent but turns around to say that he, the president
had exceeded his own (Ribadu’s) vision for Nigeria. First, it goes to show the
kind of vision he has for Nigeria. A vision which gives award to past dictators
and grant pardon to any individual is ready to support its administration! A
man who doesn’t believe in corruption as a bane to development in Nigeria!
Some has said Ribadu did well
for his decision to dump APC for PDP, based on the perceived betrayal by the ACN
leadership during the 2011 presidential elections, but then I ask them this
question, don’t you think these leaders discovered some things about the person
of Mr Ribadu which gave him up as a man who is up for grabs to the highest
bidder?
I am still saddened for the
lack of great minds lack Fashola in the leadership of politics in Nigeria!
