12 People Who Ruined the Jonathan's Administration.

 
I don't know the criteria they used to get these analysis but it is worth reading. If there is one thing that hasn't work well for President Goodluck Jonathan, it is the calibre of men and women who he has appointed in various positions.
Here are 12 personalities that have further dented president's personal image and image of his administration.

1. Alhaji Bamanga TukurHis disastrous tenure as PDP's national chairman was the biggest game changer for the PDP from which it might never recover. Bamanga's tenure also coincided is the period when three major opposition parties were consolidating into one major opposition party, but the chairman face to recognised the emerging, Instead, he encouraged the party leader to settle personal scores within the party. It was a cover for Bamanga to also settle personal scores of his own. He suspended a state governor for refusing to answer his phone calls. He watched askance as seven governor formed a faction called 'the new PDP' (nPDP), and he didn't care a hoot when five governors jumped ship and joined the APC.

2. Chief Edwin ClarkAs soon as Dr Goodluck Jonathan rose to the presidency, this Gowon-era Information Minister created for himself a position hitherto unknown in Nigeria politics, that of the president's ethnic godfather. No yoruba pontentate occupied the post during Olursegun Obasanjo's eight years and even the feeble President Umaru Yar'adua has no such godfather. Rather than use his extra-constitutional position to steady the presiden's position, Clark use it to create numerous enemies for Jonathan through his use of intemperate language and regular assaults at dissenting folks.

3. Mrs Diezani Allison MaduekeNo one get to sit atop Nigeria's oil industry without making many enemies. Mrs Allinson Madueke's beauty, fluent english and polished manner gained for her a lot of mileage, but the sleaze in the oil industry ultimately caught up with her. Most damaging have been the scandalous rip offs in oil subsidy payment, the botched attempt to remove the oil subsidy in 2012, Sanusi allegation of the missing 20 billion dollars and the reported 10 billion naira to hire private jet, not to mention the failure to pass the PIB bill.

4. Mrs Ngozi Okonjo IwealaThe first ever coordinating Minister fancies herself as an Economy wunderkind as per with German chancellor Konrad Adenauer or the Japanese prime Minister Salo, while most Nigerians thought economy condition were harsh. Mrs Okonjo-Iweala bandied figures and said it is among the best managed in the world. This sharp discrepancy between the officials claim and people's feelings did much damage to the adminstration's credibilty. Nor was there any preparations of the public mind for the steep fall in oil prices, the sharp drop on external reserve and the pecipitous decline of the naira.

5.Dame Patience JonathanIn the last five decades Nigerian first ladies have often been mired in one controversy or another. Mrs Patience Jonathan however stands in the class of her own making gaffes and ill-advice actions that badly affected the public image of her husband's regime. Worst of them all was her intervention in the Chibok girls' saga and he futile attempts to prove that her husband's political enemies ochestrated the whole affair. Her quarrel with Rotimi Amaechi, governor of her home state, also resulted in PDP's most impactful loss of a political figure.

6. Mujaheed Dokubo AsariThe ex militant's coarse manner, intemperate language and his own threats against whole region of the country supposedly in Jonathan's service did much political damage. Asari was later joined by ex-militant to threaten war against the country should Jonathan lose the election. Their joint threat jointly antagonised non-partisan opinion all over the country.

7. Chief Olusegun ObasanjoIf remark murst be matched to record, this former two-time ruler has no moral authority to criticise anyone but the willy Obasanjo re-launched himself back
into the reckoning of Nigerians by superheading attacks against the Jonathan regime in the last two years. Many people suspect that his motives are ungodly, yet Obasanjo's devastating attcks against Jonathan, sometimes through letters, at other times through public lectures have taken a heavy toll. The Jonathan presidency never quite settled on the best way to tackle Obasanjo. Sometimes it answerd his letters, at Other times it tried to ignore him and at still other times it send seven PDP governors to plead with him to keep quiet.

8. Governor Godswill AkpabioThis ambitious Akwon Ibom state governor rapidly moved very closed to President Jonathan and soon installed himself as president's top gubernatorial enforcer. At one point he went about the task wisely, such as when he talked Bamanga into reversing Governor Aliyu Wamako's suspention. Other times he handled matters with very damaging crudity, such as the 16 is greater than 19 affair, which effectively destroyed the Nigeria Governors Forum.

9. Alhaji Adamu Mu'azuWhen he replaced Bamangar Tukur as PDP 's Chairman, the former Bauch state governor was proclaimed by his partymen as the game changer. It turned out that he underestimated the fall in PDP's esteem an social political stature. Even though Mu'azu toured the country trying to lured back members who defected though he refrained from creating more problems by not trying to settle personal scores. The damage had been done an he was unable to reverse it.

10. Vice President Namadi SamboMany of Jonathan's kitchen cabinet would sit back and say that the vice president is to be blame for failing to stem the tide when the country's single largest voting bloc, the far North, turned completely against the Jonathan regime. Some Nothern PDP Governors encouraged this believe in the hope of replacing Sambo on the ticket. Sambo has nothing of the political drive and ambition of say, Atiku Abubakar. His affable and non-controversial nature did not add to the regimes problems, but it did not slave of the decline either.

11. NSA and Military service Chiefs.The top security chiefs have contributed to President Jonathan and PDP's problem in only three ways. One was their failure to tame Boko Haram despite repeated claims that they will do so. Second was their timing the operation to end the Boko Haram once and for all with the date set for presidential election.
The third final damage inflicted by the service chief was their asking for election to be postponed while the attack Boko Haram.

12. Dr Goodluck Ebele JonathanThe president contributed to his current party's predicament in only three ways that I can think of. They are his lack of adequate knowledge about Nigeria, lack of adequate preparations before becoming the president of Nigeria and lack of catching up sturdy when he became the president of Nigeria.

His mistake in choosing Bamanga Tukur, his overreliance on Ngosi, Diezani and Akpabio, his initial misreading of Boko Haram as a political plot, his inability to manage Obasanjo, Edwin clark, Aminu Tambuwal, PDP and ex-militant can all be attributed to those three inadequacies.
