President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

A group, the Niger Delta Peace Foundation, on Friday in Abuja called on President Goodluck Jonathan to “sit up and be alive to his responsibilities” in the protection of lives and property, saying “he has deviated.”
The group suggested that if the Presidency could no longer tackle the security challenges in the country, the National Assembly should commence the processes for the enactment of a law for the creation of state police in Nigeria.
It said, “We are mature to have a state police; we support state governments agitating for state police. If the government is not making serious efforts to tackle the security challenges in the country, the lawmakers should do something in that respect.”
The national president of NDPF, Chief Daniel Ebahor, stated this at a news briefing, where he also called on the President to overhaul the Federal Executive Council.
He said, “The executive should sit up; this is a wake-up call on Jonathan to perform because he has deviated. The security challenges in the country have nothing to do with budget implementation. There is no work, no job and no money and you are saying you have security challenges.
“That is why kidnapping, militancy and terrorism are rife. The recent happenings in our country must give serious concern and mental torture to every right-thinking Nigerian.”
