NIGERIAN NATION: THE NEEDED SWEEPING CHANGES

Sir,

NIGERIAN NATION: THE NEEDED SWEEPING CHANGES

In order for Acting President Jonathan to prove that he was not in support of the bad governance, which we have been having, he has to carry out a sweeping change.

He has started well by sacking the NSA who tried frightening the Acting President with false security reports with the aim of making him abandoning the wreathe laying ceremony for the Unknown Soldier January 15, 2010, as reported in Compass newspaper of January 29, 2010. The same man could not inform the Acting President of when the President Yar’Adua was arriving back.

Secondly as the acting President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, the current Chief of Army Staff did not seek his permission before deploying troops on the streets of and Abuja airport and therefore should be removed.

Thirdly, Jonathan should bring back Nuhu Ribadu to the seat of EFCC if he wants to succeed in his fight against corruption; the Waziri EFCC is not it.

Fourthly he should ensure that electoral reform is carried out. His first action towards this should be reconstituting a new INEC and then ensure that the desired electoral reforms take place.

Coming down to the Federal Executive Council: He has been long there and therefore knows those that must go so that the nation moves forward in economic growth.

If Jonathan could be courageous to do the above changes, which are what the masses are clamouring for; he would go down in history positively.
