Re: Mischief-makers at work

 …Key officers of government on top of their jobs need not harbor such fears, but those who, rather than focus on delivering this administration’s mandate to the Nigerian people, prefer to cause acrimony and disunity in order to advance personal aggrandizement have every reason to fear.’

Conference of Nigeria Political Parties {CNPP} perused the statement issued on behalf of the Vice President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan by his spokesman, Mr. Ima Niboro with cautious optimism; for now that the vice president has made a resounding pronouncement since the power vacuum of the past 55 days, are Nigerians reassured that the vice president can muster the political will to rise on top of the situation in order to halt the dangerous slide of our fledgling democracy into quasi-dictatorship and indeed Nigeria into a failed state.

All Nigerians need from the Mr. Vice President is the political will to pull through as those whom he had identified as people whose focus is to cause disharmony and disunity are not going to let go; as the Americans will say he has pulled the trigger and must follow through, otherwise he will pay for it.

We wish to state that it is better be late than the late, otherwise it took the vice president so long to identify the mischief makers within the fold of their administration, a group Nigerians had long identified as those who scuttle the Niger Delta amnesty programme, the 6000 mw and indeed the 7-Point-Agenda of the regime.

For the avoidance of doubt it must be stated that the lesson learnt from the BBC interview is that our dear president is critically ill, frail and at pains to speak; accordingly we pray for his tremendous recovery, while at the same time we have to move on.

In the prevailing circumstance, while wait section 145, without prejudice to the Justice Dan Abutu’s judgment, the vice president must muster the necessary political will and rely on the doctrine of consequence; which states clearly that power vacuum must not be indefinite but shall be filled by the next in line.

Long lives our democracy! Long Live Nigeria!
