Another trademark bombshell“Goodluck Jonathan may be Nigeria’s last President”-Orji Uzor



Former Abia governor, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, not one known to shy away from controversy, has said the failure of Nigeria’s political, business and military elite to join hands with the federal government to fight Boko Haram may jeopardise the unity of the country and lead do its ultimate disintegration.
Like we said, he skirts the controversial, almost every time.
Kalu, who spoke to journalists at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport late on Tuesday, raised the stakes several notches higher, saying President Goodluck Jonathan may be Nigeria’s last president as a united country.
The former governor said that the crystallising of the insurgency on the North East, as symbolised by the kidnapping of the schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno, may mean that President Jonathan might become to Nigeria what Mikhail Gorbachev was to the Union Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) when he presided over that country’s disintegration.
For his part, he feels it is wrong to heap all the blame on the doorsteps of the president when he has operated without much support from ‘key individuals’ and institutions.
He challenged those who genuinely love Nigeria to embolden the president as he collaborates with foreign countries to end the war on terror.
In his words, “I am surprised with our political class and our private sector class, our military class; I am surprised that they are still joking with this matter when the country is in a serious crisis.
“Our citizens are in pain; there is pressure in the business class with dwindling fortunes of businesses and we are taking it lightly.
“The way some of us are responding, I am talking about the political, business class, military and even some of us, the civilians. If we don’t take time and collaborate and work together as Nigerians, Goodluck Jonathan might be Nigeria’s last president.”
All this got us thinking, is Orji Uzor Kalu not a member of the political and business class himself? And what is it about his new found habit of giving press briefings at the airport? Last time he spoke at the airport, he called on politicians to “invest” stolen public funds in the country’s youths.

Photo: Jonathan gets a piece of advice from OBJ in Lagos

Image
President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday attended the funeral mass in honour of the late former Governor of Lagos, Michael Otedola and former President, Olusegun Obasanjo was there as well. When it was time for Jonathan to leave the venue, Chief Obasanjo escorted him out and the duo obviously engaged in an intense discussion as can be seen from the president’s expression. Reports have it that Obasanjo took the chance to advice the president on a matter of national security. The former president recently met with people believed to be close to the terrorist sect, Boko Haram in an attempt to secure the release of the over 200 girls who have been in captivity for 46 days. Obasanjo has however said that he cannot act without the approval of President Jonathan. See photo below:

The letter, numbering about 20 was typed on an A4 paper and was scattered on the streets, which was noticed by residents as they woke up on Thursday morning.
