MY STANCE ON PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN'S ALLEGED BREACH OF THE "GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT" TO DO ONLY ONE TERM AS NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT:
If President Goodluck Jonathan said in 2011 that he would only do one term as the President (for whatever reason), and in 2014 he decided that he would vie for a second term (for whatever reason), then the Islamist sponsors and instigators of Boko Haram inside and outside of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress are justified to continue their jihadist terrorism? Didn't Gen. Muhammadu Buhari cry in 2011 after his loss at the polls and declare that he would not run for the Presidency of Nigeria again? Why is no one making an issue out of his flip-flop on the matter?
We must tell ourselves the truth about our beloved country:
Nigeria belongs to us all. Those among the Fulani Muslims who feel it is their birth-right to govern Nigeria cannot hold the rest of the country to ransom merely because an Ijaw man is President. What gave them the temerity to even tell President Jonathan that he should do only one term?! Are they God?! If the President agreed for whatever reason (fear, intimidation, blackmail, threats etc.) to such a satanic, unjust, and iniquitous arrangement, then I am personally excited that God gave him the courage to recant. That is the most liberating thing that has happened to Nigeria since 1960 when we got our nation's Independence from the British colonialists.

As any First Year University student of Business Law knows, there are "agreements" and "contracts" which are actually illegal and, therefore, unenforceable since they are void ab initio. So even if one concedes that President Goodluck Jonathan did enter into a "gentleman's agreement" with some PDP Fulani Muslims and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (who has publicly made that claim his main grouse against the President) that he would do only one term so that the Presidency reverts to the north in 2015, such an "agreement" is illegal since it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. No Nigerian can willingly or unwillingly divest himself or herself of a Constitutionally-guaranteed right such as the right to vote and be voted for. It is really that simple.
GOD BLESS PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN FOR BREAKING THE "GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT" THAT HE WOULD DO ONLY ONE TERM AS NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT!!
