While an online media revealed that President Jonathan travelled out of Nigeria with a record-breaking 116 entourage, those in the Presidency have insisted that Mr. President can rule Nigeria from any part of the world.
Briefing journalists after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Namadi Sambo, Mr. Labaran Maku, Minister of Information, argued that Jonathan’s absence from the country at this critical point did not amount to negligent of duties.
“The President can take decision from anywhere in the world. His absence will not hamper his power to act. The Vice President effectively takes charge of affairs once the president is out of Nigeria and he is in touch with the President on hourly basis. There is no vacuum; the most important thing is that the president and the vice president work harmoniously and are in constant touch.
“If the president panics, what will the people do? We must stop making politics out of the unfortunate incidence going on in Northern Nigeria. The world is now a virtual society. That the president is out of the country doesn't mean he cannot make decision on a matter. We should not play politics; he is in constant touch with this country on an hourly basis”.
“If the President did not travel, the same people will condemn him for not doing so,” Maku said.

You are talking trash Mr. Minister and we know that we dont have a REAL PRESIDENT yet. Can you please tell Nigerians how this summit that Jonathan attended with 116 people will add value to their lives? Confused people in power!
ReplyDeleteLabHaram Maku don't know what he's saying so he should please park well.

I really find it difficult to believe that it is this same Maku that was criticising government heavily in the days of Babangida... No wonder Reuben Abati too has changed.

ReplyDeleteThis people address us like we are stupid. Non of the leaders @ that summit would v travelled when his country is burning. How does jona expect us to understand with him?
ReplyDeleteEven in hell he can.
ReplyDeleteNigeria is the only country where a murderer will win election from Prison, where a Man on life support Machine will be ruling over 150million able body, so am not surprise if Jona relocate to London and started ruling Nigerians
ReplyDeleteWhether he is here or not thesame thing will happen and he can't do anything. He is a goat.
