The Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People has
described the increasing call for President Goodluck Jonathan’s
resignation as unnecessary.
The Chairman, Provisional Council of MOSOP, Prof. Ben
Naanen, explained that his position on the issue did not mean that the
people of Ogoni were satisfied with recent developments in the country.
Naanen argued that the pressure mounted on the
President by Nigerians was enough for him (Jonathan) to show more
commitment to matters affecting the country.
He suggested that Jonathan should re-examine his
strategies and get his administration’s decisions towards national
growth right.
“I don’t think he should resign. By saying that he should not resign does not mean that we are satisfied with what is going on.
“What we advise is that he should show more
commitment to solving some of the problems facing the country. He should
re-examine his strategies,” the MOSOP provisional council chairman
stressed.
Naanen pointed out that the call for the resignation
of the President could not be easily wished away, describing the
development as a wake-up call to Jonathan.
He, however, refused to rule out the petty politics
in the increasing call for Jonathan to leave office, saying, “When
politics is on the ground, objectivity takes flight.”
