"Jonathan is Incompetent" - Omoyele Sowore
The publisher of New York-based online news agency, Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore in an interview with Premium Times has said that President Goodluck Jonathan is incompetent and can't handle the security problem plaguing Nigeria.
"First and foremost, I think Boko Haram is a security problem. It’s just like how the Niger Delta militancy was a security problem but this security problem doesn’t mean that they can be tackled the same way."
"If government does its job, it decreases the amount of people that get attracted to any kind of crime. So for as long as the Nigeria police is not doing its job and is bogged down by corruption, for as long as the Nigerian army is ill-equipped and incapable of fighting any kind of war inside and outside of Nigeria, it will be difficult to make Nigeria safe."
"All these problems, as small as they look, can become really really big and it’s compounded by the incompetence of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, who doesn’t have a clue how to resolve any of these problems."
"That’s why every small problem in this country under his regime has escalated to become a major problem. When they were extra-judicially executing Boko Haram people, we were the ones warning them that this would become a major problem. But they were calling us names because we were asking them not to kill people."
"They said we were sympathetic to terrorists, NO! We were just saying that if you do things the wrong way, they will haunt you in a bad way especially where you have a government that doesn’t even know how to tackle any of these problems.” Sowore said.

Wonder how he does it though. Must really have trustworthy informants in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteIt is very wrong for Sowore to label our president as incompetent. That is wrong. We should respect the office of the president. GEJ has achived more than any of his predecessors. we must appreciate him for that.
