Some people in Nigeria are still saying that Goodluck Jonathan is the best leader Nigeria has ever had, Viewers Corner is telling these group of people to please reassess their findings. Viewers Corner has nothing against the ex-president Goodluck Jonathan but the truth has to be told, certainly he has no leadership capabilities to lead the nation Nigeria.
He may be a good man according to people who know him very well but Viewers Corner’s assessment of Goodluck Jonathan during his term as the President of Nigeria taken into consideration the situation of Nigeria at that moment, we (Viewers Corner) discovered that he mismanaged the Nigerian economy so badly and Viewers Corner scored him zero percent in our analysis board.
Again, during President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, corruption was rampant and he could not detect it. Is that how a good leader should lead his people? No. When we call someone a leader, he or she should be in total control of affairs, he should know when things are going wrong and which aspect needs urgent attention but under Goodluck Jonathan’s leadership, he was unable to detect and fix the problems. Therefore, people saying that he was the best leader may be those few individuals that benefited under his leadership, certainly not the majority of Nigerian public. Another problem Jonathan had was that he appointed very wrong and corrupt people into his government, those men and women he brought into his cabinet who were supposed to advise him on what to do, did not help matters. All they did was keep on borrowing money from the International community to finance none viable ventures thereby bringing the Nigerian nation to a serious debt. Now President Buhari is trying his best to service those debt from the loan ex President Goodluck Jonathan and his previous administration left behind. This is lack of foresight and poor leadership on the part of Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
When the former President Obasanjo was leaving office, he left huge sum of money as a reserve for late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua but when Goodluck Jonathan was leaving office, he left huge debt for President Buhari to inherit. All these are lack of foresight and poor leadership on Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Recently, the petroleum minister Diezani Alison Madueke was involved in a huge corruption malpractices under the leadership of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and more facts involving other big names may be coming soon, so watch out. Again, these politicians that served under Goodluck Jonathan’s administration almost ruined the country Nigeria. Honestly President Buhari is God sent, if not Nigeria as a nation would have been in worst condition assuming Goodluck Jonathan won the past election.
Once again, Viewers Corner is appealing to Nigerians to support President Buhari because he is the only leader that can bring Nigeria out of poverty, he is already on the right track to succeed.
