Jonathan Loses International Reputation as Tinubu Releases Shocking Report

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has taken former President, Goodluck Jonathan, to the cleaners, for gallivanting all over the world, in a bid to redeem his already battered and tattered image before world leaders and comity of nations.

Tinubu, stated this through his close ally and Chairman, Editorial Board of the Nation’s Newspaper, Sam Omatseye, on Monday, June 4, in an article titled, “ Farwell Cruelty.’’

In the article, he slammed Jonathan’s die hard supporters for trying to raise the banner of sainthood saying; “Quite a few Nigerians have tried to redeem Jonathan out of the dust of infamy. With dewy eyes and longing, they see him as the new pope of Nigerian politics.

“They might even loft him up as a sort of Christ. The one who descended to the grave, and now he is alive for ever. He holds the key to kitchen and plenty”.

This outburst came at a time when world leaders have been rising in honour of Jonathan, as Africa’s modern Hero of Democracy.

Recall, that Jonathan had made history, as the first incumbent President to lose an election in which he conducted. The loss of the presidential election, instead of diminishing his political career, turned him to a role model.

President Muhammadu Buhari, was the first to heave a sigh of relief, and eloquently eulogise him for being magnanimous enough to initiate a telephone conversation, where he conceded defeat even before the final votes were tallied, thus, saving the nation from a predicted Armageddon.

While receiving the handover notes from the former President, Buhari had said: “What I will say, is since the telephone call you made, you have changed the course of Nigeria’s political history. For that, you have earned yourself a place in our history, for stabilising this system of multi-party democracy system, and you have earned the respect of not only Nigerians, but world leaders.

Meanwhile, in a bid to rubbish Jonathan’s reputation, Tinubu said: “The portrait of a leader can change anytime, and it often depends less on what he did right or wrong, but what people feel at the time, especially about who leads them now.

“That is why Jonathan, who brought the economy to its knees, who divided the nation on ethnic and religious grounds, who crippled the North-East with a corruption-ridden war chest, who never completed a landmark project in six years, is now the candidate for sainthood”.

He added; “Was it not Jonathan of the billions of naira scandal, of Dasukigate, of cousins in theft, and friends in spendthrift stealth? Is it not the same Jonathan who wrecked the dollar, who excused a dame who flew with impunity and extravagance, and another dame of BMW saga?

“How come the people now salivating for him cannot make the connection? A witch cried last night, a child dies this morning, says the African proverb. Who does not know the connection?”
