Among the latest critics of President Jonathan is Toyin Dawodu, a popular social commentator in the country.
According to an opinion piece written by Dawodu and first published by Sahara Reporters, he described Jonathan as someone who seized his opportunity to rule, had his chance, and blew it.
Dawodu also advised Nigerians that if the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP, were to nominate President Jonathan, Nigerians should wholeheartedly reject Jonathan’s candidacy for one simple reason: He can’t do the job.
He based his opinion on the fact that after four years of Jonathan’s administration, one thing is very clear: Jonathan is not the leader Nigerian needs.
Dawodu stated that four more years of Jonathan’s presidency will delay progress in the country for another four years or more and ‘we can’t afford to delay our own progress any longer’.
“Americans have a saying: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.”
That saying is absolutely true. Research teams at both Harvard University and MIT confirm humans automatically make snap judgments about others within three seconds of meeting them. We judge not only their level of danger and friendliness, we also try to determine their level of education, affluence, influence and value to us as connections – all in 2.8 seconds. These conclusions that we reach in under three seconds serve as the foundation on which we base our opinions of others. These are first impressions and try as you will, it’s hard to get someone to change his mind about a first impression.
President Goodluck Jonathan
So then, I will ask you this: Since assuming his post as president in 2010, what impression has Goodluck Jonathan made on you? I would say he seized his opportunity to rule, had his chance, and blew it. In four years, he has never been able to push his way past being ineffective, so he’s out. I hope Nigerians are smart enough to show him the door out of Aso Rock. And even if PDP were to nominate him, Nigerians should wholeheartedly reject Jonathan’s candidacy for one simple reason: He can’t do the job.
