The political crisis in Rivers State and the alleged involvement of
the presidency in the sordid episode has received knocks from the Labour
Party in Edo State, which warned that President Goodluck Jonathan will
suffer defeat in the 2015 presidential election, “if he continues to
play god by chasing the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP ticket by all
means.” The Deputy Chairman of the party in the state, Mr Patrick Eholor, who
made this known yesterday, also decried the return to regional politics
as the 2015 presidential election approaches. Mr. Elohor reminded the country’s politicians that the Army was
watching developments closely warning that if democracy must survive,
they must avoid a replay of what happened in Egypt from happening in
Nigeria by playing according to the rules. The state LP chairman, who was speaking with newsmen in Benin City,
“When President Jonathan was being denied of the opportunity to take
over from Late President Yar ‘Adua on account of the ill health of the
late President, I was the first to approach a court to get an order
of mandamus because I had a lot of respect for Jonathan, that he should
be declared the President. “He was made President by an act of God, but now that he is
fighting to be President by all means, God will disappoint him,
particularly when he has done nothing to help this country; if you ask
me today to score Mr President, I will probably score him 2 over 10. He
has failed completely to tackle corruption. It will interest you to know
that Mr President will rather travel with Mr. Femi Otedola to China, a
man, who bribed a lawmaker during the subsidy saga.”
