The embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives ,
Aminu Tambuwal, yesterday, came down hard on President Goodluck
Jonathan, asking him to resign from office for running “a system that
does not have the interest of the country at heart,” Premium Times
newspaper reports. Addressing supporters of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal
declaration of Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed for a second term, the Speaker
warned that should the president failed to do so, Nigerian voters should
revolt against him at the February presidential poll.
“I call
on President Jonathan to resign from office because of all the
mis-governance and the untold hardship Nigerians are presently passing
through,” he said. If he fails to do that it is therefore incumbent on
us as a people to turn out en-masse and vote out Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
come 2015. That will bring peace, progress and development of
Nigeria.’’
He continued, “I am sure that (Kwara) state will
provide such leadership to the extent that we shall deliver this country
to the government at the centre to APC.”
‘’By voting
APC at the centre you will be voting for prosperity and eradication of
poverty. What we are witnessing today in Nigeria is not governance, but
mis-governance. We are witnessing a system that does not have the interest of the people of this country at heart.”
Also speaking at the event, a former governor of Lagos , Bola Tinubu,
lambasted Mr. Jonathan for allowing the Boko Haram terrorists to seize
parts of the nation’s territory, stating that he ought to have resigned
because of the development.
He said, ‘’I saw the sea of refuges and the lies coming from Jonathan’s administration.
They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity, vision, creativity; the
lie of yesterday is what they repeat today and it is what they will
repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you. They are lying about the
security, toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time
to explain the logic of their lies.’’
‘’If you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Ch ief of the armed of the federal republic, why should any part of this country be under occupation?
“And you give us excuses every day. In any civilised country, Jonathan
should have resigned. But if he will not resign he should wait for our
broom we will sweep them away.’’
The APC leader, who recently
returned from a medical trip abroad, asked the party members to be ready
for change because the race had begun.
He also alleged that
the PDP administration not only steals the people’s money on daily
basis, but also refused to give them jobs.
According to him,
“The thieves that daily steal your money, they have not given you any
job; they cannot create jobs and they are starving states of funds to
pay workers salaries. The best thing to do is to sweep them away through
broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses,’’ he said.
