Government Clueless, Nigeria Needs Rescue, Says Okogie by SAKUR: 7:31pm On Jan 15, 2015
A former Catholic Archibishop of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Okogie, on Thursday said the present government in Nigeria is clueless.

Okogie said that the country needed an urgent rescue from what he described as “imminent brink of irredeemable destruction.”

The cleric therefore called on all Nigerians to wake up from their slumber and face the reality by electing into the position of leadership only persons “who know what to do.”

He added that effort must be made to educate the average Nigerian to choose their leader based on capability and not on the basis of ethnic or religious affiliations.

Okogie spoke in Lagos at the 11th edition of the Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture/Symposium, where he was the chairman of the occasion.

He decried the present prevalent insecurity in the country and the nation’s economic woes.

Okogie said, “There is extra urgency to rescue Nigeria. This is the time when every right thinking Nigerian must pray to hate the present situation strong enough such as to desire the fortitude to act right.

“This time does not allow for indifference. All must rise to save Nigeria from the brink of irredeemable destruction. This is the time we must play politics of the best, for the best position, in order to guarantee the best for our nation. Let only those with the fear of God and love of their neighbours lead Nigeria; only those who know what to do should sit at the helms of affairs. Enough of mediocrity, enough of failures, enough of nepotism, enough of ethnicity.”

Okogie, while describing the late Fawehinmi, a human rights lawyer, as courageous, principled, selfless and a detribalised statesman, said he was sure that Fawehinmi was now restless in his grave at the present state of the nation.

Oh Yes, I can say the Government is totally CLUELESS


It took the slow-poke of a President 3 years before he could visit his soldiers, a visit which could boost their morale!

Buhari cannot fix the problems of Nigeria. He will create more. Let's support Jonathan to enable him continue the good works he has started till a better person takes over in 2019.

Cardinal Okogie has seen the handwriting on the wall. Nigeria cannot survive four more years of GEJ's misrule. Vote Buhari for change.

If u av any conscience, you wud feel d same way okogie and millions in Nigeria are feeling.
Its an accepted fact,even by GEJ fans that he is clueless.
It is also now unanimously agreed that he should not be returned for another term.
What maybe in dispute is why the election had to be fixed for Feb 14.Why can't it be earlier, e. g.Feb 1st,so that we can regain all our senses before GEJ infects us all with his own brand of cluelessness. grin grin grin
