Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Prof. Tam David-West criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for embarrassing the nation through his constant gaffes.

Former Minister, Tam David-West

This is due to the President’s statement in Germany saying that the Nigerian Army was below international standards.

David-West recalled that Dr Jonathan asked Germany to help Nigeria fight the Boko Haram sect.

According to him, by saying the Nigerian Army is below international standards, the President has indicted himself as the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

David-West urged Jonathan to define what he meant by international standards and tell the world how many military installations he has visited to arrive at that conclusion.

‘President Jonathan should stop embarrassing Nigeria and the Presidency by his consistent gaffes. How can Jonathan, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, go to the Defence Academy and declare to the world that the Nigerian Army is below international standards? I was shocked out of disbelief. I have never in my entire life heard such recklessness and irresponsibility from the high office of the Presidency. Jonathan apparently does not realise that it was a direct indictment of himself as the Commander-in-Chief without prejudice to the embarrassment of the entire nation.’

‘Let Jonathan tell us the meaning of international standards. How many military installations has he visited in the world to come to the conclusion that the Nigerian military is below international standard? He even put the security of the country in jeopardy.’

The former minister urged the President to stop embarrassing the country, adding that he should resign or go back to his village to save Nigeria further embarrassment
