Acting President: The Egyptian Example
Reading the front page story of Leadership newspaper of Sunday March 7, 2010 and
also the News Analysis therein on how the Egyptian President Mubark who was going for
an operation in a German hospital officially handed over the country’s government to the
Prime Minister, the next in command.
Mubark’s action is what our President Yar’Adua could not do for the fourth month now.
The simple letter he could not write to the appropriate authorities enabling Jonathan to
take over while he is away is what has created the quagmire still lingering in Nigeria.
National Assembly should also be blamed for this mess. They knew the President was
going for such a trip and yet they were playing politics, deceiving the masses as to which
Chamber President Yar’Adua should present the nation’s 2010 budget. They knew that
Yar’Adua would not attend any assembly sitting and withstand the length of time it would
have required him to conduct the official presentation; they played along with him,
deceiving the entire nation that they claim were being represented. It is a big shame; and
that is why people say that there was no election but selection in 2007, with the
connivance of INEC.
One is also waiting on the Judiciary to act on the forgery which Yar’Adua’s kitchen
cabinet committed when they claimed that Yar’Adua signed the supplementary budget.
There was also the forgery and falsehood which Yar’Adua’s media adviser, Adeniyi,
dished out concerning that Yar’Adua has asked Jonathan to act for him till fit enough.
Adeniyi should be prosecuted for this.
One is at a loss as to why up till now the constitution is still not respected in what is
looking like a national shame in the eyes of the international community. How long are we
going to bear this?
