All Hail Acting President Jonathan

At long last there calm in the Nigerian presidency. GoodLuck , true to his name is now acting President and his supporters are hoping that he would become president. Again, within four years replacing his unfortunate bosses.
There is however nothing to celebrate. Jonathan has simply been saddled with responsibilities that are historic. He has both the challenge and opportunity to change the face of this nation, challenges, his godfather, General Olusegun Obasanjo bungled.
There is the pressing need to keep the nation going, infuse confidence in the Nigerian project, set on course the good governance, ensure credible elections and tackle corruption which has pervaded every area of the Nigerian society. He has the chance to prove wrong the predictions of western security agencies that Nigeria will fizzle out.

Everything he needs to succeed are available to him. He has sympathetic public, a national Assembly that needs his leadership and direction, and of course, the oil money can be turned from being a curse to blessing. The international community has pledged its co operation and the service chiefs have pledged loyalty to him.
What is left is his individual resolve. He alone can decide whether to succeed or fail.
I pray he chooses to succeed. For him to succeed he must choose to step on the toes of the godfathers who do not want change and are comfortable with the way things are done in Nigeria. The arbitrariness in government manifesting in extra judicial killings and uneven application of the law must be addressed. The neglect of key infrastructural sectors such as education must be addressed immediately.
Our prayers are with Jonathan. He , however, must work hard to ensure that our prayers are answered.
