PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELECHUKU JONATHAN PLEASE EXERCISE CAUTION, DO NOT RUN IN 2011.

Icheoku's position may not be popular with the current trend in Nigeria now but at least it is not sycophantic nor masses-driven. It is a position founded on candor and rightness; and history will vindicate the just. Babangida had people (ABN) urging him during his murderous regime to stay on in 1993; midget of Kano Sani Abacha also had his own band of town-criers beating the drum of a life presidency; the deity of Otta Aremu Olusegun Obasanjo had his own third term apostles who wanted him to continue his inhumane autocratic stranglehold on Nigerians, so it is not surprising that some people are now displaying the same pedantic traits once again, goading President Jonathan to do what is wrong simply because he is in a position to do so and they stand to reap therefrom as potential beneficiaries of such infra-dig. Admitted these apologists seem to be in the majority now, but Icheoku says that sometimes the majority are sometimes wrong as was the case with the demand for the crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ by the Jewish mob. But a smart person would always know when to check the excesses of these buccaneers and we urge President Goodluck Jonathan to be smart and rise up to the occasion and do what is right. Please President Jonathan say no to the temptation of the 2011 presidency. It is not the turn of the South-South yet to secure the presidency since the North ought to be allowed to serve out the remainder of their eight years term in the interest of fairness, equity and good conscience respecting an existing gentleman's agreement. But can Jonathan be trusted to overcome the sweet aromatic allure of power or is he going to push his proverbial goodluck beyond reasonableness; we shall soon find out.
