Jonathan Was the Real Cause of Nigeria’s Problem, Patience Better Than Him – Nnamdi Kanu

By Farouk Mohammed

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu has lambasted former President Goodluck Jonathan, saying he is the real cause of Nigeria’s problem.

Speaking with The Sun Kanu described Jonathan as ”weak and incompetent” president who did nothing for the South East, even though the region claimed he was one of their own.

The IPOB leader said Jonathan’s wife, Dame Patience, would have been a better president than her husband.

”Jonathan is my uncle, yes. I was one of those who said Jonathan’s tenure was more or less an Igbo presidency; it’s on record I said that.

”But, he knew I never liked his regime because he was weak and incompetent.

”I don’t support evil; if you do good, I will tell you, if you do bad, I will say it the way it is; I don’t curry favours.

”He was weak, I said I wish it was aunty Patience Jonathan who was in-charge, she would have done better.

”Look at where Jonathan dropped us today; he never finished building the East/West Road, but, he built railway line from Abuja to Kaduna, so they will love him.

”Who told you that if they did not love Zik, that they will love you?” he asked.
