President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday came down hard on some unnamed Nigerians who he said have been parading themselves as statesmen but are “ordinary politicians” in their utterances.
He said being a statesman was not about the offices previously occupied by politicians.
Jonathan spoke while playing host to a delegation of the Northern Elders Council in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He said politicians who make provocative utterances aimed at causing disaffection and bringing the country down could not be described as statesmen.
He said such politicians only engage in such venture because they do not get what they want.
He said a lot of lies were being peddled about his government with the aim of painting him black.
With time, the President said, Nigerians would know who statesmen are truly are.

ReplyDeleteNext Month Will Judge If OBJ Is Ordinary Man Or not
ReplyDeleteObasanjo and Buhari especially,I guess but, these so called statesmen paid huge sacrifice with their life during civil war to keep the unity of Nigeria. So, if they sternly criticise GEJ they have a point and as citizens they have the right to criticise any government.
ReplyDeleteHe said a lot of lies were being peddled about his
ReplyDeletegovernment with the aim of painting him black.
please can someone ask our President why will someone waste there time to paint him black when he is black enough or how much more black did he want to become ? he is always given excuses instead of thinking of how to carry out the mandate given to him by the nation.
Lolz..hahahaha!!!
DeleteAbi ooooo.
Obinna O
Infact,i don‘t really know the correct word to qualify this FOOL called jonathan.
ReplyDeleteSome people contributions makes me laugh. Who that refused to respect the elders both in pdp or apc, sure will not see respect...
ReplyDeleteGuy if u want to be respected u need to put up a respected acts. Most of this so called elders/ politicians do no deserve any iota of respect from the youths.
DeleteAnd that includes your father,the point is there is no respect in you and people like you who are talking will ruin Nigeria if you are giving one chance at power,is it not your personal interest you are fighting for or you want us to believe you are fighting for good of Nig
DeleteHe spoke riddle left for u to decipher
ReplyDeleteI am not voting for Jona. But it is foolish to call your president and our president a fool. Please apologize and be civil
ReplyDeleteOk, oga president, please pardon me oo.
Deleteyou are the fool not the president, come to think of it, who is your father? for you to call another man. a president fo that matter a fool means you are a son of nobody
DeleteAPC stop given bad comment everywhere about the country and Mr GEJ bcos,u are the problem of this nation.
ReplyDelete@ all the APC apologist; I wonder if this is the way u insult ur parents at home? Saul, in all is misdeeds, was never touched, insulted or killed by David rather David still praised him as the king of the land. God later made him king over Isreal.
ReplyDeleteDo not incure the wrath of God by indirectly insulting God cos God knows of his existence and God fixed him there.
Be warned!!!
THEY PAID AGRATE PRIZE TO KEEP NIGERIA UNITED BY KILLING TEN MILLON OF IGBOS DOING DE WAR TO KEEP NIGERIA UNITED U SHOULD RETRACK DIS COMMENT U IDOT
ReplyDeleteYou shallow minded being so the Ibo didn't kill any body during civil war?
DeleteAPC are sponsoring all these useless comments.GEJ all the way till 2019.
ReplyDeleteInstead of mr president to clear the lies is condemning Obj, OBJ is not the cause of your problem you brought this upon yourself, so deal with it. When you surrounded yourself with people who only praise and compare you with Christ when it's obvious you are the worst president so-far. Is too late to cry Oga.
ReplyDeleteNigerians I pity you all especially the common poor fools who comment online on issue. Is any of you better then all these criminals that have enslaved your parents including you all and your children unborn. The greatest fools and ignorant people are Southerns tomorrow they will begin to complain about us the north.Wait even if Buhari wins we will see what will happen among Obj,Tinubu and the rest of them. We are watching..
Deleted mandate of being a nigerian presido is always given by nigerianz. dnt u tink u r indirectly insulting nigerians by abusing mr presido?
ReplyDeleteI wonder when our dear "President" will become a good politician. I pray that this man should be rested after the February Presidential election to enable him "enjoy" whatever that is accrued to whoever occupies such post in Nigeria. Good luck to GEJ.
ReplyDeleteOBJ said that GEJ government floundered over $35b dollars his government left in Federation account/Reserves in 2007. Okonjo Iweala said they used the money for developments in Nigeria. Let us assume that she is right. How much has GEJ government saved since 2007? Oil price crashed how many months ago? We have problems with this government.
ReplyDeleteI might be right to say that most of these people speaking against our President do not even have voters card.
ReplyDeleteGEJis a saint ,to rule NIG with clean hands,clean morality and no blood letting,tolerating every rubbish and allowing opposition to tribe is a very rear quality which even Buhari and Tinubu and OBJ can never have ,he will go down in hx as the best president of Nig in his time when many Nig know what is going on,,today we celebrate many heroes who during their time were totally disregarded,laying a foundation is the hardest part of a building
