NIGERIAN DEPUTY TAKES CHARGE
Jan 15th, 2010 by admin
Finally a Nigerian court cleared the way on Wednesday for Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan to perform all presidential duties while the country’s ailing leader is away. This may just be beginning of the real play of politics in the Nigerian polity. As the Vice president takes responsibility, Nigerians can only pray that the President returns soon, because earlier telephone calls from Saudi Arabia to the Vice President, Senate President, Speaker of the house of Reps would not suffice. Did anyone listen to the BBC interview? What ever happened to the local media houses in the country? I am at least confident that he is very much alive simply because when a mulim dies, he must be buried within 48hours so Nigerians can continue to pray for a speedy recovery.
One question remains unanswered, did Mr President not know the enormity of his position as the President of Nigeria, when he assumed office? Why the privacy? Besides the sensitivity of the issue, he needs to talk to the Nigerian people… well our fingers are crossed.
