Chief David Edebiri, The Esogban of Benin Kingdom and
chairman of Benin Forum, 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.
Speaking to
Vanguard, 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.”
