Christian body in the country; under the umbrella of
Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, has warned
President Goodluck Jonathan to ‘tighten his seat
belt’ in the New Year, or honourably resign and
vacate the Aso Villa.
Chairman of the South- East chapter of CAN and the
Anglican Bishop of Enugu, Rt. Rev. Dr. Emmanuel
Chukwuma handed this warning to Jonathan in a
New Year message released on Tuesday.
The cleric said that President Jonathan must rise to
the challenges facing his administration, especially
the alleged cases of corruption in the polity,
unemployment and epileptic power supply.
The cleric avowed that if Jonathan fails to live up to
expectation, he should prepare to vacate the Aso
Rock in 2015.
Bishop Chukwuma who said that doom awaits the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the New
Year noted that except the likes of Chief Tony
Anenih and Alhaji Bamanga Tukur retire from active
politics, the party would continue to face greater
calamities.
“If those elders I warned before to retire don’t
retire, then the party will be in trouble in 2014. At
80, Anenih should retire; Bamangar Tukur should
retire.
These people should now serve as elders and
advisers; if they do that, PDP will get its dignity
back, but while you still have these analogue
leaders and elders in the party and the polity, forget
about PDP in 2015,” he warned.
He called on President Jonathan to be focused in
the New Year to avoid attracting the wrath of the
greater percentage of Nigerians, noting that since
the buck stops at his table, all blames of every
failure in his government would be completely laid
at his doorstep.
Chukwuma said, “The letter between Obasanjo and
Jonathan is a boomerang of Obasanjo’s selfish act
in enthroning a president of his choice for Nigeria.
“There are many better leaders out there than
Jonathan who would have been elected, but
Obasanjo selfishly maneuvered Jonathan into
leadership by first putting a sick Yar’Adua in power.
Because he couldn’t control him anymore, he
started writing letters.
“That is why Jonathan must be focused in 2014 in
order to prove himself worthy for 2015.
“Failure to do that and he gets distracted and
doesn’t prove himself, and Nigeria continues with
the way it is today with corruption, no light, poverty,
unemployment, I beg him, he should just step aside,
let us seek for a better leader in 2015.
“He has tried in the last six years, and rather than
the thing getting him into trouble, and cause him
more tension, I think Nigeria is greater than
everybody, all of them should give way and give
room for new spirit to rule Nigeria from 2015,” he
said.
Bishop Chukwuma however called on Nigerians to
be more faithful to God by pursuing peace and
righteousness.
“We should all work dedicatedly for the unity and
peace of this nation as we celebrate our country.
Any attempt by anybody to fuel violence or
confusion will call for the review of our
amalgamation,” he added.
