The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17
The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope. -
Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria
Spotlight on the achievements of Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko People's Governor and Silent Achiever November/December 2014 1 Spotlight on the achievements of Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria The material for the Spotlight was prepared by Sokoto Liberal Democrats Media Foundation (SOLID) with input from Africa Link. [email protected] People’s Governor and Silent Achiever He has a mission! A mission to impro- ve the lot of the people of Sokoto State, and he is “committed to this mission to the best of my ability” he told Africa Link recently. To those who see his per- formance as exemplary, and feel he has done more than they ever bargained for he has this to say: “If they feel I have done more than my best, I still belie- ve I’m doing what is expected of me to truly and sincerely serve my people wit- hout any limit, and to improve on their standard of living.” He has faithfully been on the right path. No wonder his people support him wholeheartedly in his mission describing him to Africa Link as the “people’s governor, a silent achiever” and his administration as a “welfare government.” Since Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko ascended the mantle of power in Sokoto State in May 2007 he has remained committed to the improvement of the lot of the State in all its ramifications. He has identified projects relevant to the fulfilment of those electoral promises he made to the people of the state Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo laying the foundation of the second phase extension of and has been quietly and successfully executing them. -

The Making of the President's Cabinet in Nigeria: a Reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo's and Goodluck
Democracy and the Making of the President’s Cabinet in Nigeria: A Reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo’s and Goodluck Jonathan’s Cabinets Tunde Adeniran Tunde Ajayi ABSTRACT The Presidency, especially in Federal systems, holds peculiar and haunting fascination for scholars in their attempts to diagnose the workings of modern governments. The increasing powers of the Presidency, the recurrent debates over their use or abuse and the continuous interrogation of the extent of the legitimate use of such powers, invariably compel attention to the study of the Presidency. In Nigeria, a critical inquiry that goes beyond the surface seems to be long overdue and an appraisal of the making of a Presidential cabinet appears a vital part of the advancement of knowledge in this regard. Thus, this study is a review of democracy and the making of the presidential cabinet in Nigeria with a reflection of the Olusegun Obasanjo’s and the Goodluck Jonathan’s Cabinets. The aims are (i) to investigate the role of the President as crisis manager when a nation faces serious internal security challenges; (ii) to appraise the President’s role as manager of the economy – especially when fiscal and monetary policies are set in the context of double – digit inflation and severe economic dislocations; and (iii) to assess the interactions between the President, the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) and the National Assembly. The study reveals among many others that for the President to be effective he needs a cabinet that fully understands what he wants to achieve, the way he wants to go about it and the time he wants to achieve it. -
