Most of my friends and acquitances know how I vigorously campaigned for Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to be elected Nigeria's President last year. I believed he was the best choice of the three leading candidates. I still do. While I am disappointed with his performance thus far, I believe he could still make a transformational difference in the next three years of his tenure.
Here are my thoughts on Five Quick-Win issues for GEJ's attention so as to save his Presidency from growing public odium:
1. Immediately arrest and prosecute the sponsors and financiers of Boko Haram in the PDP who are already known to the intelligence agencies as his National Security Adviser hinted publicly some weeks back in Asaba.
2. Affirm his decision not to seek a second term as President which was a "campaign promise" he publicly and voluntarily made early 2011.
3. Remove his non-performing Ministers and other heads of Departments and Agencies; especially the Minister of Petroleum Resources and the Minister of Aviation for their vicarious liability with regard to the fuel subsidy fraud and the crash of the Dana Airline plane.
4. Cancel the Concession Agreement with Bi-Courtney for the re-construction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and immediately commence the re-construction of the road with government resources to stop the carnage on that road.
5. Publish his Assets Declaration and ensure the diligent prosecution of all those indicted by various National Assembly Probe Panels for corruption/fraud (Power Sector, Fuel Subsidy, Police Pension, Capital Market etc.) and former Governors and other politically exposed persons indicted by the EFCC/ICPC; particularly in the Halliburton and Siemens cases.
I hope GEJ can muster the will and courage to do the above.
