Fawehinmi to Jonathan: Show competence or resign

LAGOS—Mohammed Fawehinmi Chambers has
condemned what it called President Goodluck
Jonathan's poor handling of the Boko Haram
menace, challenging him to either show his
competence by terminating Boko Haram within one
month and start developing the nation properly, or
comply with the Boko Haram request to resign.
In a statement by Mr. Mohammed Fawehinmi, the
chambers also asked the President to sack
allegedly uncommitted ministers.
The chambers also called on the National Assembly
to shun partisan politics and put national interest
at heart in the impeachment threat against the
President, adding that the purported suggestive
increase of five years for every elected or appointed
political leader is the most absurd suggestion that
ever came alive in the nation's polity and that this
had shown that the ruling party had no plan for the
country.
He said: "I read with uncontrollable laughter the
insult meted out to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan,
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. What a shame! The docile
nature of the President has allowed such an
insignificant group of nuisances popularly known
as Boko Haram to insult him, thereby insulting the
whole nation, by asking him to resign.
"The President has disgraced this country enough,
he must either show his competence and
willingness to work by terminating Boko Haram
within one month and start developing the nation
properly, or comply with the Boko Haram requests.
"Those who are not willing to work and are
interested in their previous domains in foreign
countries should go, and be replaced immediately
with people who are interested in working for
Nigeria. These include Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
Minister of Finance/Coordinating Minister of the
Economy; Mr. Olusegun Aganga, Minister of Trade
and Industry; Mrs. Diezani Allison-Maduke, Minister
of Petroleum and Resources; and Prof. Bart Nnaji-
Minister of Power.
