President Goodluck Jonathan has been decribed as lacking in capacity for governance by the vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs, Senator Babajide Omoworare.
Addressing journalists at the National Assembly Complex yesterday, Omoworare (ACN, Osun East) said “the president is not doing enough. I’ve repeatedly said on the floor of the Senate that I personally have challenges with the president’s capacity to administer Nigeria. He may be a good-natured man, but governing Nigeria takes more than being good-natured. I’m not a fan of former President Olusegun Obasanjo who sometimes does some self-glorification, but Obasanjo, even if wrong, was taking decisions, but the incumbent president doesn’t take decisions and doesn’t even understand the rudiments of governance.
“As a senator, I don’t have light in my houses in Ife and Lagos. I know we still import fuel to favour some people…we’ve spent trillions of naira on fuel subsidy. These trillions would’ve been used to set up refineries, whether done by the government or by individuals; it doesn’t matter to the electorate. Fuel can sell for less than N40 per litre in Nigeria if there are enough refineries,” he said.
The legislator, who called on Senators to go beyond party boundary and do what is best in the interest of Nigerians by impeaching Mr Jonathan, said, “the worst we can do to the president is impeachment. How many PDP senators will allow you to impeach him irrespective of how bad some of us feel he is? You can’t even raise it, if you do, they (PDP senators) would shout you down. But there must be a limit to politics. As senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, if it’s in the interest of Nigeria as a whole that we take a decision, let’s take it.”
The senator may be right in areas of taking decisions but I dont think any sensible Nigeria who is unbais will blame GEJ about the building new refineries and also the electricity problem in Nigeria solely. What of Obasanjo you just praised etc. Common, let us be fair and stop playing to the gallery. We allow him finish his term, then we work hard and vote him out. Impeachment talks in Nigeria now is idiotic.
Brilliant suggestion senator,go ahead and initiate d impeachment.Nigerians are solidly behind you.Go senator! Go!!
My friend u must be a boko haram member,since d existance of nigeria as a country,has any of our leaders experinence what GEJ is going through,u must be a blind man.shouting go senate go!!
U are such a sentimental coprophagist.are u so blind dat u cannot see wat is happening?
Chairman you are on your own ooo speak 4 ur self and ur family.
The senator should first impeach himself, because they have never passed any law that is functioning except if it comes to looting money. Let the senators pass a law for Nigerians to stop sending students outside Nigeria for studies. Then we will know if they can impeach the president.
Any step of impeachment this entity called Nigeria will be no more,i know that you gys from the north can stay without the SS/SE so be ready.
Pls tell that so called senator that he is disgrace to his family and constituency. How many President has gone through what GEJ is subjected to. Think. No body can impeached GEJ in this country.dat senator must be mad. He should learn how to talk in public. If Jonathan has not done anything, atleast he gave him voice to speak uncontrollably to the president. May he children and the pple he represents insults him even more. U can forward it to him.
That senator is a fool! Infact a big fool indeed. Talking about impeachment at this point haha. Awon arije nidi madaru.
One thing is to talk,and the other is to put your words into action.That so call senator is an animal even in reasoning,because befor a mature mind will come out in publik to make such a pronouncement it is believed that he must have make a deep research into the Nigeria politics from the fourth republic,the military regime till date,and take a concise look into the developmental stride of this administrations,compare and contrast the events that took place within the periods.Then after all these measure have been looked into befor going into conclusion wether Goodluck is worst president,but believe me among all those that rule Nigeria President Ebele Jonathan is the most worthy,that senator if you go tru his profile it will surprise you that he even lost in that elections.Let him respect goodluck
The senator is sick. His brain is not sharp, i remembered they are the same pple that stood firm to say no to subsidy removal. I believe he’ll soon be sacked
You’re a very stupid senator to allow such nonsense to come out your stinking mouth,you say you’re ACN & your so call God father Tinubu is involve in subsidy scam,impeach Tinubu first as your leader before you think of impeaching Goodluck,becos they say charity begings at home,ole.
senator my foot . U must b a big fool to reason in dat manner
Senator u see the people u reprresent? We are so polarised ethnically that no one sees things objectively. Even if we have a dummy ruling us abd we are subjected to the meanest standard of living that dummy must remain else we break up as a country!! Sorry senator. Take heart. God will rescue us one day.
W@ has d senator himslf done 2 beta d lots of d pple in his constituency. Has he brought developmt to his constituency wit d constituency allowances collected? If he has no light in his houses, did he expect GEJ 2 climb d pole n give him light? If he’s givn d opportunity 2 rule dis country am sure he can’t do beta bt worst. Lets stop criticising destructively bt encourage our leaders.
This is what Anti GoodLuck had always wanted! The arithmetic is simple… Make the country ungovernable for him through what ever means so we can criticize; then BH and all the terror groups emerged diverting the attention and resources of the whole nation to fighting crime. If this senator is to rule this country at this era, would he accomplish what GEJ has? For crying out Loud this is the time the president needs the support of every one especially the legislatures most. I am not a fan of any political party but must air out the truth.
He is the biggest fool in the kindom of oduduwa and i must confest that he does not posses credentials that fetch him senator. He is not familiar with what is going on in the country, i tell u if opportunity is given him to rule this nation he will not do up to this President.
So, I dont know that we still have unlettered senator in the national assembly,
This senator is out of his senses. Let them clean the upper house before talking of impeaching Jonathan.

Dear senator you may blame mr president in areas of taking decisions but not about to impeach president of Nigeria about electricity and your personal walfare, you are a senator and if mr president is not doing well in the entire country what about your constituency? Do you want jonathan to clime the polls and fix electricity for you? Please senator you are a lawmaker and must be respected. please make comparism in the side of your office to be know and function as a arm of Government in Nigeria. And mr yahaya yunusa or what ever you call yourself be careful with what you say in this country, the Nigeria you know in the past is no longer Nigeria today ok! Mr president move on and be yourself but be decisive and move on once again.
Most pple here have said my mind. The senator is an idiot. This president is performing despite all the hostilities from Tinubu, Buhari and his cohorts. I tell u, the president will win the next election with a landslide victory. Nigerians are not fools as this so called APC pple are thinking. God bless Nigeria

Mr senator we dont need to lay a bad legacy, ori bibe ko logun ori fifo. We need to encourage and pray for GEJ bcos he has a good vission for Nigeria stop frustrating his efforts
Dear senator, be patience the electorate will surely flush him out come 2015
Each day that passes, the good people of Nigeria get wiser. Is it not a shame that a Senator in Nigeria will insult and drag the person of the most populous black nation on earth in the mud in the name of politics? Is the Senator not a part of the government? This senator for God’s sake has no business being in the Senate since he does not know where and how to go about the evil machinations of the enemies of this country.
If he know what he’s doing he should move the impeachment motion on the floor of Senate and by addressing journalist, seeking cheap popularity
Jonathan is gaining more popularity with the tactless way the opposition power mongers go about attacking the person of the president. The only thing I blame Mr President is allowing these enemies even when they show themselves clearly scot free. He should look for a way to hound all of them into jail.
NO KING LAST FOREVER!
dis so called senator dnt even no hw to adress puplic,he is talkin abt takin decision,OBJ took a decision by distroyin odi,n by nt allowin dose govnor dat won election to b annouce by inec,is dat wat u called a decision,GJ give us FIB,u re senative,not senator,wat hapen to EKITI,ONDO n OSUN under OBJ,wit dose govnor after electn,u re a big idiot in dat senate,
Another mad man shouting in the market square!!! What will it profit you If the president is impeach??? Go and seat down jo! Mumu de hungry for power.
By pronouncing a fib with confidence about impeachment is not worth any respect for you being a senator.
I wonder where your so call brain get fracture and why don’t you follow a psychiatric to carry out some operation in your brain in order to correct your sense of reasoning.
Why don’t you as a blood citizen of nigeria put your hand on desk in order to solve our incumbent trauma facing us but instead you follow those whose concrete is being block their head and pronounce impeachment, is it a remedy for this situation?
Insulting your elder will not bring you any glory but only from miscreant parading in the four wing of the earth to cause atrocities.
Know your right before the god of elder’s strike you dead without reaching your ripeful age.
Am really disappointed in your scrupulous statement.
The problem is mr senator if he is impeached who would take over,you or ur so called visionary party members whos only vision is to topple down PDP and take over the leadership role 4rm them i can c ur as disorganised as ur party APC ur requests 4 impeachment pathetic ur reasons baseless ur words not thought through u seem to have grown tired of ur present status and want to decend low to the level of the masses u think u r manipulating its like u want to be impeached abi please 4 ur information GEJ might not be making good decisions at the right time but im seeing the good dividends of democracy this has been the best leadership era since weve had our independence atleast this man listens to us when we protest and that is the main essence of democracy
Mr senator u re addressing us nigeria an illitrate. Don’t u know that a tree cannot mkee a forest take this advive which says that HE wHO CAN DO AND hE WHO CANNOT D FORM cOMMITTEE.
oh nigerian, when jonathan and his team atempted to remove fuel subsidy my wise senator babajide and his political party hired porpular musicians and bands paid and feed jobless youths for allmost a month to go out on the streets to protest the removal of fuel subsidy, today my senator is saying the exact opposit, what an irony. my sympherty is with the president who has to work with people like senator Babajide.
dat foolish senator shld tell his constituency wat he dos wt d #2billion constituency dev fund before wanting to impeach d president…….hes such a round peg in a square hole meaning hes an idiot
Senator omoworare is a big fool don’t mind him is smoker
Don’t mind my brother is a smoker $ is a disgrace 2 people of ile ife pls obasanjo is a good man
Ebele Jonathan must complete his candidature in 2019, the the uplightment of the Igbo nation will come in the like of ohakim and okoroacha, Boko haram shut up no amnesty for you.james okapamu nassarawa state.
I realy weep for dis nation. Lets stop wasting our prayers on nigeria and use d prayers somewer else bcos nigeria will neva eva move forward..we will keep going down evryday, from bad to worst…imagine how d southerners comment on someone who just spoke his mind and d truth..ethnic, religious and geopolitical sentiment can neva allow dis countsry to move forward..whats wrong with wat d senator said? Is it not the truth? Why are we not having refinaries? Is it bcos we dont hav d money to build and operate one? with this kind of comments how do we espect d senators to speak for us? If they keep quite we insult them dat dey r only dia 4 money. If dey speak we call it northern agenda..unless we keep our hatred 4 d north and think well for dis nation d progress of d country will only remain in d personal accounts of this animals who call diasefs politicians..if we cant face d reality, i pray dat may God make it posible for nigeria to seize its existance as a single nation in d next 24 hours…lets come back for our oil, leave d northerners with dia food and have peace if the thieves we hav both in d south nd north will allow it to rain..
The senator is making a point,but when GEJ is Impeached who will succeed him?will that person improve the situation? Or shall we continue to complain after installing new person.
People see wots happening in dis country yet dey were still fool, dey read news paper everyday yet dey looked blind, why people are comment in d name of politics. Every body dat comments here, sit down and imagine wot nigeria look like. Den u will blame our leaders and urself for not reasoning before u comment. May God see us thru. Nigerians with black thinking mentality.
Let people stop beating war drums against GEJ,if the law makers and all the stake holders are faithful,Nigeria will be a better place.Do not give a dog a bad name in order to kill it.The worst crime for any leader is to kill the persons he or she is supposed to protect.Who among the past leaders did not do that.Corruption has been the bane of Nigerian society,it did not start from GEJ.In your families how many people agrees with your opinion or obeys your orders,and before you break your head in annoyances be informed that leadership is not as you see it,the realm of the spiritual rules the physical.
What this senator is saying make sense on one hand and on the other hand its irrelevant.
The building of refineries would have brought about great employment opportunity for the unemployed youth.
But here we are blindly discrediting this senator who is having the youth at heart. As for me, I think if the man has nothing to loose but have more to gain becos as for him, he is already made.
I think its high time we drop our selfish sentiment in the aspect of religion, politics & ethnicity for a better Nigeria.
If the situation is good in Nigeria is good for all & if it is bad, its bad for all of us.
Let’s be wise before its too late coz the rich are getting richer while the poor suffer the more.
As for those insulting the senator, let them search their hearts & ask them selves are they happy with all these injustice that is going on before our very own eyes?
Are our leaders there for us or are they there for themselves?
If Nigeria brakes away today I tell you the south, north, west & east all will surfer it so let’s reach out for the best interest of Nigeria and give another party a chance to prove the PDP wrong. One love
I think you have collected something from jonathan or you come from his state that make so bias in such manner. What does this man have done for god sake instead nigeria is getting corrupt every minute.Any person cause this senator is a big fool and you done fit to call human being’big goat’
