The purported resignation of Prof. Nnaji came to me, and
many others as a thunderbolt from Aso Rock. The reason given, conflict of
interest in acquiring the Afam power station sound interesting if not laughable
The power Ministry remained the only part of this
administration that looks as if functional, and I did commend the recent
improvement in power, but Emperor Jonathan decided to extinguish the only flame
that gave his insipid administration some flavour! Conflict of interest in
political leadership is an offence but
one question many may want to ask President Jonathan is 'You, like everyone
knew that Prof. Nnaji had interest, owned shares in the Geometric Company before his appointment as
Minister of Power? Even when he was your Special Adviser on power, people knew
he had always had interest in power genration.I recollect many years ago in the
early days of Obasanjo that Prof. Nnaji had given presentation on how to build
power stations that would solve Nigeria problem
Except Prof. Nnaji had committed other offences we are not
privy to, forcing him to resign at this critical time due to 'conflict of
interest' is committing political Hara kiri.This is the worst time to ask a man
that had worked so hard to improve power supply to resign, and is a sign that
President Jonathan suffers severely from 'Bad Judgment Syndrome,BJS'. We have a Minister like Diezanni Allison Madueke that
has been caught openly stealing from national tilt, picking national meat from
the 'pot of subsidy' with irrefutable evidence , still parading herself as Minister.
It smacks of political immorality when a Lady as this is still presiding over
the Petroleum Ministry after all the sleaze, heist that she supervised- it's
just preposterous, and gives credence to the widely held belief that Jonathan
may not really have a mind of his own.
For me, Jonathan could have instructed that Prof. Nnaji's
company be removed from the privatization bid while he still continues in leading
the power industry toward the restructuring. By this move, a two year arduous
job by Prof. Nnaji has been thrown into the waste bin, with Nigeria being the
greatest losers
By the resignation of Prof. Nnaji, the power restructuring
will suffer a fatal stroke, and both the generator suppliers and corrupt PHCN
workers and their sponsors would be rejoicing that the man that became a torn
in their flesh has finally been eased, if not forced out. Now the priests of
darkness and their lords know that Nigeria will be in darkness longer than envisaged
Sometimes, I wonder if President Jonathan has not been
jinxed, under spell or hypnotised. The only thing that made his face glitter in
the face of vehement criticism , he has wilfully removed. He has this pedigree
of destroying his source of glory
Coincidentally, for the first time in almost 2months, today
mark the first day I have not had light for almost 12 straight hours, this is
an indicator of what Nigerians should expect in the coming days and months. It
is really disheartening that Jonathan could have taken this step, a real misstep
