As Aristotle once said, human beings are by nature political animals, because nature, which does nothing in vain, has equipped humans with speech, which enables them to communicate moral concepts such as justice which are formative of the household and city-state.
Soon, Nigeria will go to the polls to elect a president who will steer the affairs of the country. The current government (People’s Democratic Party – PDP) will face other opposition parties who are doing all they can within their powers to win the mandate of Nigerians. Among other things, now is the time for our dear Nigerian brothers and sisters to mull over the upcoming elections in order to make the right choice.
Despite the setbacks facing the current President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, many hold on the belief that he is really working very hard to make the country a safe haven to live in.
Being in charge as the leader of a large and complex country like Nigeria is not a joke…One needs to be discerning, confident, calm and honest, intelligent, good public speaker, compassionate, patriotic, loyal, humble, trustworthy, and above all he/she must have good managerial skills.
It is of no doubt that the current Nigerian president – Goodluck Jonathan – is made up of all the aforementioned qualities; placing him above his competitors. His managerial skills avail him good knowledge to keep Nigeria going. With the above traits, Goodluck Jonathan can be described as one great leader to have emerged in Nigerian politics. It is not surprising that he was named one of the world’s most influential people in 2012.
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf – President of Liberia – was right when he wrote this about him: “Goodluck Jonathan has spearheaded the fight against corruption and turned Nigeria into an example of good governance. He has also made a significant impact on consolidating peace and security in West Africa. From the onset of our own crisis, Liberia has benefitted from the support of Nigeria. President Jonathan not only upheld the trend but added to it. With leaders like President Jonathan, Africa is sure to move toward prosperity, freedom and dignity for all of its people.” Her claim confirms the fact that President Jonathan’s administration is silently changing Nigeria from a bad situation to a good one.
Living in a world where women are not given much prominence in politics (especially Africa), President Jonathan did not consider women to be just mothers who ought to stay at home and not have a say in governance. He out rightly discarded that notion.
In his current administration, the number of women who hold prominent positions are a force to reckon with.
All around the globe, journalists are demanding for freedom of the press to enable them seek and disseminate information without any hindrance. The People’s Democratic Party, led by Goodluck Jonathan, has accomplished more than his predecessors in terms of allowing the media to function without any governmental interference. Nigeria, as we know, have had some journalists who opposed the views of governments’ slayed. Thanks to the Goodluck Jonathan administration for finding a solution to it.
Not every governor would be interested in the healthcare of his/her people. Each and every one can attest to how the deadly Ebola virus is claiming lives in some West African countries. Nigeria was among the countries that were hit by this menace, claiming the lives of some citizens. With the citizens interest at heart, President Goodluck Jonathan did all he could within his powers to arrest the deadly disease. Today, Nigeria is an Ebola-free country.
These are but just a few of great things that Goodluck Jonathan’s led People’s Democratic Party has achieved. Indeed, if he is given another mandate in the upcoming election, Nigeria will soar higher than this.
It is in support of this that Nigerian business mogul Prince (Engr) Arthur Eze, owner and chairman of Atlas Petroleum International Limited, through his representative in Ghana is mounting billboards calling on all Nigerians in Ghana to travel back to Nigeria and vote for Goodluck Jonathan to continue the good works he has already started.
It will be a done deal if all Nigerians in Ghana make it a point to travel back to Nigeria, cast their vote for the only eligible candidate – Goodluck Jonathan.
Always remember to vote for principle; though you may vote alone, you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.
Patriotism is therefore calling on all Nigerians in Ghana to travel to Nigeria and vote on 14th February, 2015—and before you cast that important vote, remember Goodluck Jonathan stands tall for great achievements and holds the keys to a prosperous Nigeria.
