The unprecedented and historical phone call of Goodluck Jonathan to President Buhari to concede to defeat was themed heroic by many including me. But virgin and singer Adokiye doesn't not think so, she had this to say....
“I feel really bad for the Nigerians calling President Jonathan a hero. Hero to who please?” she asked disdainfully. “ Why waste your saliva & brain on someone who has brought poverty, national blackout, danger, unemployment, terror & insecurity to our dear nation” she said.I see her as politically unaware. That phone call alone single handedly ended all building anger around the country especially from the South South. The international community has never been so positive and confident about a break-up and civil unrest for Nigeria during the election. Even Central Intelligence Agencies, CIA was adamant Nigeria would break up by 2015 for reasons bordering around the Presidential election, even though they later said they didn't predict our break up.
Does she think what's happening in Burundi was beyond Nigeria, pre-election? Nigeria could have been Burundi right now or even far worse. Though I understand her reasons for her conclusion, they are true. But then being a failure as a President and rescuing the nation from mayhem by demonstrating genuine statesmanship spirit in the time of need like he did with the phone call is just immaculate, is unprecedented in Africa. That's why he got a standing ovation internationally, maybe this little words will enlighten her.
