With series of speculations surrounding the health of President Yar’Adua, PDP constitution and threats to succession of the Presidency by some unconstituted individuals, the political and economic prospect of Nigeria has been cast into serious doubt and uncertainty. With many Nigerians kept in the dark concerning the Man who is navigating the ship of their destiny, the little hope left for struggling Nigerians has become increasingly unpredictable. Is Nigeria in an interregnum as we speak? Is PDP playing pranks with Nigerians as they did to them during third term agenda? Is Nigeria under the rule of a Regent?
The theory that the President of Nigeria must come from the North at this particular time of global consciousness and computer age has cast shadows on the memory of many Nigerians who are lost in the middle of nowhere. The only way to find out is to test these theories, if it has empirical adequacy or not.
1. President Yar’Adua is being forced by a cabal in the north to continue as the president of Nigeria under heavy stress of his health, which has affected his performance ratings as well as the political and economic wellbeing of Nigeria.
2. The rumours that the Vice President would resign if the president resigned due to ill-health or that the VP has already written an open resignation letter (undated) in case of any eventuality, confirms the empirical adequacy that some people are toying with the future of millions of Nigeria for their own selfish gain.
3. The suggestions that PDP constitution overrides the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in case of any eventuality of the President, is a confirmation that divide and rule system as used by the colonial masters has been remodeled by some oppressive political imperialists in the ruling party who are colonizing millions of Nigerians against their will and their choices.
4. The speculation in most national newspapers that some political juggernauts in the North are gearing up to succeed Yar’Adua should he resign due to ill-health is a proof of another confirmed empirical adequacy that Nigerians are being ordered and reordered to follow imposed constitution of the ruling party instead of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It also suggests that tribal politics is the bone marrow of the ruling party. ( Continues below….. )
The political tension in Nigeria could take a new turn for the worse, if the few who order the lives of millions of Nigerians around refuse to grow up and realise that Nigerians are more informed today than what they were 27 years ago.
There are many reasons why Nigerians are kept in the dark beside the empirical adequacy identified above. Some people are apprehensive of losing their jobs if the president resigns and therefore they think they could save more time if they continue to dribble Nigerians by postponing the news which we all know already.
Nigerians have the constitutional and moral rights to know about the well being of their leaders if Nigeria is a country where election counts. If this is the case, the ruling party would be been under enormous pressure and worry of losing the next general elections. There are indications that Nigeria is not well organized constitutionally, structurally and politically if the empirical adequacy highlighted above is to be taken very seriously.
President Yar’Adua should not be subjected to pressure of any kind by any group that want to be kept happy while millions of Nigerians suffer. The need to review the Nigerian constitution, political/social structures, internal party politics and constitution can not be overemphasized. Nigeria is greater than any individual or party, therefore the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should be our ultimate guide to sustaining ONE Nigeria.
Comments:
Suddenly 'people dividing people" or PDP are planning on having a Northern president as if it is their constitutional right and heritage while we bystanders have no say. i am really mad and sometimes hate been Nigerian. we are all "full of shit' if we can't stand and shout NOW for our dear presidents IMMEDIATE RESIGNATION and an emergency election carried out within 3-6months. In the interim the vice-president should be elected to stand in.
I am sure all nigerians in diaspora will agree with me, so help us God. what a country?
General Sani Abacha did that and when all hope was lost God showed him he is the Almighty God.
Fellow Nigerians! we should not loss hope in praying because Nigeria will difinitily get better.
our constituency for future refrence particularly those of them fom the north,
we already know that their souther conterpar are just what late Fela called
mr. follow follow, i mean to say they don`t really have any say o any influencial
power so to say, by knowing we will be able identify them when they change from their PDP to any other party or form a new one.
from various quarters. Has the ruling party forgotten what happened
during the First Republic. Are there no students of history in that so called
party PDP. Don't they know that they are inviting some authorities to
take over the Government in Nigeria?
The earlier the so called ruling Party PDP get its acts together the better
for them and the country.
are justified since PDP can,t take action as to who rules the country
during the absence of Yar Adua. The world would not condem such
an action since a country can not remain without a leader. The only thing
the Army can do is to take over the government and quickly arrange a credible
election within 1 year to hand over to a more purposeful Party. Nigeria
has more pressisng issues to solve, eg. Energy, Education, Agriculture,
Good road, good drinking water for the masses etc. There is no more time to
waste at all. Already the Past and present leaders have wasted over 45
years and have completely looted the treasury. Nigeria is now referred
to as a FAILED STATE. Ghana is now teaching Nigeria what to do. What
a shame. ENOUGH OF THESE NONSENSE.
hail them for providing leadership in Nigeria since the ruling party
can't provide a leader during Yar Adua absence. All what the Army has
to do is to organise a credible election within 1 year and hand over
the affairs of the country to a more purposeful party. There is no
country that can remain without a leader except a corrupt country
like Nigeria. Our past and present leaders have wasted over 45 years of
Nigeria's time and looted the treasury to the extend that Nigeria is now
referred to in the Global community as a Failed State. Ghana is now
teaching Nigeria what to do. Nigeria needs Energy, Agriculture, Good
water tp droml. good education etc. There is no more time to waste and
this NONSENSE must be stopped immediately.
nation,Vice president Goodluck Jonathan is a good matirial for president, the
president is sick and can not perform his constitutional funchons and there for
should resign and let Goodluck finish the term. Is this hard to understand or is
our constitution a mare document designed to suit personal gains, Dont treat
the vice president as if he is not a free citizen of nigeria who has the equal
right to aspire to any office in his own country. This north and south politics
should stop.For the interest of peace, let us follow the constitution which bind
us together, I see a president Goodluck that will unite all Nigerians.Nigerwahala
This is not a repeat of the afore mentioned, but my further thoughts on the subject.
The story on this issue awakens my recollection of the unfortunate history of our country.
It reminds me of the reasons military personnel have given for their intervention.
When a crop of politicians hold the feeling of the people in contempt and act as if to say "who cares?", then pockets of those who care act to remind them that some people do care. My caution to the politicians is that they should have a sense of history and remember that there are many whose anger are stirred by their wreckless misuse of their opportunities as elected/appointed representatives of the people.
As leaders, they should be careful to maintain decent adherence to both rule of law and principles of democracy.
If the president is unable to discharge his duties for reasons of ill health, decency demands that he hands over to his vice. The latent fear people entertain in so doing is partly due to ignorance, selfishness and our misapplication of the principle of democracy. What I have seen in Nigeria is neo-authocracy and that is why a single individual has such a huge significance. I hope the actions woild not threaten the integrity of the nation. Although we have varying degrees of cultural or developemental differences, we are obviously better of sticking together, as doing so helps to compliment our individual strenghts and weaknesses.
