President Jonathan Insulted All Nigeria's Past Leaders To Their Faces - NewsRescue.com

Nigeria’s president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan convened a Council of state meeting on February 5th to advise on the February general elections. Summoned were all alive past presidents (except Obasanjo who refused to attend), heads of government and heads of political parties.

The council was expected to advise on whether or not it would be feasible to hold elections on February 14. All relevant documents were tendered and positions made.

The recommendation of the council after reviewing the documents was that the national elections should hold as slated on February 14th and February 28th.

Shifting the Elections was the Pre-decided upon Jonathan policy

But after summoning all these Nigeria’s past leaders and current dignitaries, the Jonathan government rejected their expert input and conclusions, tossed it in the garbage and continued to threaten and intimidate the INEC chairman, including by inventing new premises, replacing the old one of problems distributing voters cards, and the second excuse of wanting to liberate 14 local governments in Borno with a final desperate excuse and ultimately blackmailing statement – that the entire army is engaged in the northeast at the moment and will not be able to avail the security it is not its duty (but the duty of the police) to provide during the elections.
