Former Governor of Abia state, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, while speaking with
airport correspondents yesterday as he returned from a trip to the UK,
said if things are not properly checked politically, President
Jonathan might be the last president Nigeria will have.
"When I was travelling precisely on the 26 of April, I left this airport
and I spoke to the airport correspondents and I said there was a need
to collaborate with international organisations. You see, this
issue is not about President Goodluck Jonathan. If we don’t take time
and work together as Nigerians, Jonathan might be the last Nigerian
President. Jonathan might be the Gorbachev of Nigeria. And that is the
truth, so we better wake up. Political class, business class, military,
civilians must now stand up to work for our internal security. Internal
security is more important than anything we have done and I believe
that once we are able to come together Nigeria will be alright. As of
now the country is in pains; the country is in problem and some people
are taking it very lightly.
We
are suffering from pains of our people; we are suffering from pains of
the Nigerian system. This is not about which part of the country you
come from, it is about Nigeria. Nigerian people should take what
is happening seriously and I am surprised that the political class and
the private sector are still joking with this matter. This is a
serious matter. Anybody’s child can be kidnapped; whether it is at
Chibok or any other place, Nigerian should take this matter seriously.
Can you imagine how many Nigerians that have been killed; how many of us
that have been wounded. I want people to be as wise as my grandmother.
I want people to take this matter seriously. Those girls
kidnapped are our sisters; they are our daughters. It is because none of
us has lost anybody that is why to some people; it is looking like a
joke. We should stop taking this as a joke and take the matter very
seriously in order to move forward.
We
should not lose what we have. We should be able to come together as one
family and fight because if we don’t take time; I repeat it for the
second time, Jonathan will be the last president of the name Nigeria. Government
can negotiate formerly or informally. It can send agents to negotiate
on its behalf without getting involved. The US does this in Afghanistan
and other places. It can negotiate formerly or informally” he said
