chairman of Benin Forum, Chief David
Edebiri, yesterday, said that impeaching
Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State,
will not guarantee a second term ticket for
President Goodluck Jonathan.
He urged the President to give the people the dividends of democracy by ensuring steady power, industrialisation and tackle security challenges, rather than fight political battles with governors over 2015 presidential election.
The elder statesman, who disagreed with the
assertion by President Jonathan that his
administration had performed creditably well,
said: "I am not totally in agreement that
democracy is already here in Nigeria.
We are working towards achieving true
democracy but it has really not come. A typical
example of that is the current issue of the
election of Nigeria Governors Forum, where 35
people met to elect one man and the aftermath
now is a disputation as to what happened and
what did not happen.
"I think if the President wants to come back as
President, he does not need all the current
rigmarole that is going on. Let him give the
Nigerians good governance. Let him make
Nigeria one of the countries of the world where
electricity is constant."
