Remembering APC's criticisms against Goodluck Jonathan in view of the present realities in Nigeria

-

By Isaac Eranga

During the administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, chieftains of the APC were unleashing destructive criticisms on Goodluck, saying his misrule was responsible for the high rate of unemployment, corruption and mass killings in the country and that it was better for him to resign than to continue in misruling the nation.

But the reality on ground today in Nigeria is reminiscent and even worse than the Jonathan's administration. Like the ragae maestro put "if you live in a glass house, don't throw stone". This was what the APC chieftains forgot when they were throwing stones.

Take a look below at some of their statements during during Jonathan's rule:

"A serious government will fix power problem in 6 months."
- Babatunde Raji Fashola ( November 12, 2014)

"Stone us (APC) if we do not perform after 2 years."
- Tony Momoh ( April 3, 2016, The Guardian)

"The only way to have stable electricity is to vote out PDP."
- Fashola (July 12, 2014, The Nation)

"We seriously frown at President Goodluck Jonathan, over  the "unceremonious removal" of the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Mr Andrew Yakubu."
- APC (August 4, 2014, Channels Television) 

"Jonathan leading a vision less government. "
- Yemi Osinbajo (December 22, 2014, Thisday & tweet @ProfOsinbajo)

"Jonathan should resign if he has no solution to the violence being unleashed on some parts of the country."
- El Rufai ( August 2012)

"The only solution to the present political uncertainty in the country is for the National Assembly to set machineries in motion for the impeachment of ailing President Umoru Musa Yar 'Adua. "
- Buhari (March 10, 2010, Sun Newspapers)

" Why is the nation’s currency, the Naira, now trading for N180 per Dollar, while the South African Rand is trading at R11 to one United States Dollar?"
- Fashola (December 26, 2014, The Nation)

"Give Nigerians a daily update on the health of President Umaru Yar’Adua to stem the growing rumours surrounding his state of health. "
- Lai December 21, 2009 (The Nation)

"Amaechi is not only clean but a tool to free Nigeria from the corruption imposed on us by those who hate our nation."
- APC (October 24, 2016, Vanguard)

"The recent proscription of Boko Haram and Ansaru, desirable violates the Constitution."
- Lai Mohammed (June 10, 2013, The Nation)

" I have decided as his wife, that if things continue like this up to 2019, I will not go out and campaign again and ask any woman to vote like I did before. I will never do it again."
- Aisha Buhari (October 14,2016, BBC)

"People are now appointed to top posts because of the influence a "few people" wield."
"Some people are sitting down in their homes folding their arms only for them to be called to come and head an agency or a ministerial position,"
- Aisha Buhari (October 14, 2016, BBC)

"I don't know which party my wife belongs to, but she belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room."
- Buhari (October 14, 2016, BBC/ Punch)

"Buhari is giving cabals billions through forex subsidy."
- Emir Sanusi (August 26, 2016, Daily Trust)

"I can sit in my garden, make billions through forex without sweat."
– Emir of Kano (August 25, 2016)

"Buhari is a LIAR."
- Senator Shehu Sani (January 24, 2017, Daily Independent /YouTube )

"The funds spent were properly spent."
- Solomon Dalung, Sports Minister (December 19, 2016, Punch/ YouTube)

"Athletes don't need training to win medals."
- Solomon Dalung, Sports Minister(September 12, 2016, Vanguard).

Those criticising President Buhari now, should also be careful because he that lives in a glass house don't throw stone.

It is easy to criticise. Now they know better.

There is no iota of doubt, irrespective of political differences, that Governor Godwin Obaseki has significantly improved State Competence, relative to his predecessors and across the States in the Country.  To achieve this, he had to rescue the State from private capture by ruthless non-State actors; this freed up public resources for public purposes.  He has held himself to a very high ethical and work-ethics standards, scrupulously focusing on the interests of the real people whilst staying on the Constitutional tracks in line with his oath of office. As a result, it was difficult to derail or defeat him despite uncountable battles in the judiciary and in other political machinations, orchestrated from high quarters.  Edo State is not yet on the mountain top, it still needs concerted push to avoid a free relapse or rollback.  The quality, intensity, ruggedness, doggedness and character of the next Governor is therefore so crucial that those lining up for the job should critically as
