President
Goodluck Jonathan’s pilgrimage to Israel entered its sixth day today
(Tuesday) amidst allegations that he travelled with a large delegation.
Here are comments from Nigerians.
Steve Nomor: You don’t
really need to go to Israel or Rome to learn good governance, to honour
agreements, shun corruption, desist from falsehood, et cetera. The God
of Israel is also the God of Nigeria and the Bible they read (if they
do) is the same Bible we read in Nigeria; and the holy book teaches all
the good things. The pilgrimage, to my mind, is therefore a financial
jamboree. I pray God to keep us alive to see if Jonathan and members of
his entourage will be different from what they have been when they
return.
Kolasaidu: Mr.
President, I pray for the sake of Nigerians that when you come back from
your pilgrimage, that God gives you the courage to say ‘enough is
enough’ to ineptitude in governance and corruption in high places. I
pray for God’s guidance for you to re-organise your federal cabinet and
the security bodies, to bring in those who can really do the job and not
be guided by political exigency; and not to put round pegs in square
holes as you were doing before you left for the holy land. Good luck to
you, Goodluck.
