Benin
National Congress, BNC, a socio-cultural organisation in Edo State, has
urged President Goodluck Jonathan not to consider running for the 2015
presidential election, if he fails to find solution to insecurity and
crisis in the power sector.
President
of BNC, Mr. Aiyamenkhue Edokpolo, in his paper entitled Nigeria:
Nation-State in Dire Need of Patriots, at the 2012 Merit Award ceremony
organised by the group in Benin City, accused the political class of
abandoning public institutions for selfish reasons, adding that
kidnapping and restiveness were a fall-out of mis-governance.
He
charged President Jonathan to either stand up for the masses by
exposing every agency of corruption, or deprive his party, Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, of election victories in Nigeria.
He
said: “President Jonathan promised heaven on earth when he appealed to
us to support him, but today, it is sad to note that nothing is done to
save Nigerians from the untold hardship and insecurity pervading the
land. The President cannot say he wants a second term when he has not
achieved any thing in his first term. Unless he solves our problems, we
will stop him if he decides to run for a second term.”
