Resign Now, Tambuwal Tells Jonathan… As Tinubu Goes Hard On Him Again

The embattled Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu
Tambuwal, today, came down hard on President Goodluck Jonathan, asking him to
resign from office for running “a system that does not have the interest of the
country at heart,” Premium Times newspaper reports.

Addressing supporters of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
in Ilorin, Kwara State, during the formal declaration of Governor Abdulfatah
Ahmed for a second term, the Speaker warned that should the president failed to
do so, Nigerian voters should revolt against him at the February presidential
poll.

“I call on President Jonathan to resign from office because
of all the mis-governance and the untold hardship Nigerians are presently
passing through,” he said. If he fails to do that it is therefore incumbent on
us as a people to turn out en-masse and vote out Goodluck Ebele Jonathan come
2015. That will bring peace, progress and development of Nigeria.’’

He continued, “I am sure that (Kwara) state will provide
such leadership to the extent that we shall deliver this country to the government
at the centre to APC.”

‘’By voting APC at the centre you will be voting for
prosperity and eradication of poverty. What we are witnessing today in Nigeria
is not governance, but mis-governance. We are witnessing a system that does not
have the interest of the people of this country at heart.”

Also speaking at the event, a former governor of Lagos ,
Bola Tinubu, lambasted Mr. Jonathan for allowing the Boko Haram terrorists to
seize parts of the nation’s territory, stating that he ought to have resigned
because of the development.

He said, ‘’I saw the sea of refuges and the lies coming from
Jonathan’s administration. They have exhibited failure, lack of capacity,
vision, creativity; the lie of yesterday is what they repeat today and it is
what they will repeat tomorrow. They are lying to you. They are lying about the
security, toying about the security of this country. I don’t have time to
explain the logic of their lies.’’

‘’If you control the armed forces and you are the Commander-in-Chief
of the armed of the federal republic, why should any part of this country be
under occupation?

“And you give us excuses every day. In any civilised
country, Jonathan should have resigned. But if he will not resign he should
wait for our broom we will sweep them away.’’

The APC leader, who recently returned from a medical trip
abroad, asked the party members to be ready for change because the race had
begun.

He also alleged that the PDP administration not only steals
the people’s money on daily basis, but also refused to give them jobs.

According to him, “The thieves that daily steal your money,
they have not given you any job; they cannot create jobs and they are starving
states of funds to pay workers salaries. The best thing to do is to sweep them
away through broom revolution. APC is a party of the masses,’’ he said.
