PDP WAS UNABLE TO RAISE GODLY GOVERNORS- SARAH JIBRIL

Mrs. Sarah Jubril was the first woman who contested for the post of the presidency in Nigeria and was Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on Ethics and Values. She is blaming the past government functionaries for the problems the immediate past administration suffered.

She started by saying that after four months of waiting for the ministerial nominees list, it don’t appear to be the best but whatever happens we must have the patience and spirit of tolerance because we will not ask people to go and riot. These people: their records are there but if Nigerians want to remain complacent and sweep things under carpet, it’s left for them, the hypocrisy about corruption continues.

On the PDP saga, she thinks that the PDP government starting from the board of trustees, the party executives, did not open their minds to understand what their slogan and manifesto stood for. The PDP government had desirable virtues, which turned out to be a moral verbalisation that did not touch their conscience and minds.

She went on to say that the PDP government and even their predecessors had the problem of not realising that politicians in public office or civil service are supposed to ensure that the name of that God they called, they are supposed to raise godly governors. But they forget the contents of what they pronounced at the oath taking. They do not remember to obey God.If there were so much stealing, inappropriate behaviour and not practicalizing what the manifesto said, then it means people deviated from what they took oath to do, what they were supposed to be doing as a party.
