The
Esogban of Benin Kingdom and chairman of Benin Forum, Chief David
Edebiri, yesterday, said that impeaching Governor Rotimi Amaechi of
Rivers State, will not guarantee a second term ticket for President
Goodluck Jonathan.
He
urged the President to give the people the dividends of democracy by
ensuring steady power, industrialisation and tackle security challenges,
rather than fight political battles with governors over 2015
presidential election.
The
elder statesman, who disagreed with the assertion by President Jonathan
that his administration had performed creditably well, said: “I am not
totally in agreement that democracy is already here in Nigeria.
We
are working towards achieving true democracy but it has really not
come. A typical example of that is the current issue of the election of
Nigeria Governors Forum, where 35 people met to elect one man and the
aftermath now is a disputation as to what happened and what did not
happen.
“I
think if the President wants to come back as President, he does not
need all the current rigmarole that is going on. Let him give the
Nigerians good governance. Let him make Nigeria one of the countries of
the world where electricity is constant.”
