The embattled leader of pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu has blasted the former president, Goodluck Jonathan, describing his regime as evil.
Nnamdi Kanu in an exclusive interview granted to Daily Sun described the former presidennt as the harbinger of Nigeria’s problems.
Speaking during the interview, Nnamdi Kanu noted that the former president was weak and incompetent adding that he does not hate the north as against speculations.
Kanu further noted that Goodluck Jonathan did nothing for the South East during his regime, even though the region claimed him as one of their own.
Noting that Dame Patience Jonathan, the former First lady would have been a better president than her husband, Nnamdi Kanu said: “Jonathan is my uncle, yes. I was one of those who said Jonathan’s tenure was more or less an Igbo presidency; it’s on record I said that.
“But, he knew I never liked his regime because he was weak and incompetent. I don’t support evil; if you do good, I will tell you, if you do bad, I will say it the way it is; I don’t curry favours.
“He was weak, I said I wish it was aunty Patience Jonathan who was in-charge, she would have done better. Look at where GEJ dropped us today; he never finished building the East/West Road, but, he built railway line from Abuja to Kaduna, so they will love him.”
He added: “Who told you that if they did not love Zik, that they will love you?” Regardless, Kanu said the North has produced good leaders, in all sectors of the economy.”
Speaking on the widespread belief that he hates the north, Nnamdi Kanu debunked the report noting that former Presidents Shagari and late Yar’Adua were two good leaders who are from the North and had made their marks in Nigeria.
“People think I hate the North; that’s not true, but the only thing is that I say things the way they are, I don’t know how to tell lies to curry favours. People do not know that I loveformer presidents Shagari and Yar’Adua more than I love, Nnamdi Azikiwe.
“I’m saying this because when we were young and were growing up, the only notable person that built any notable infrastructure I saw with my two eyes was Shagari.
“The Enugu/Igwuocha (that the white man named Port Harcourt) Expressway, was built by Shagari. Now, tell me who has ever done that since after Shagari, no, tell me. Which other infrastructure will you be proud of, nobody has ever done anything again.”
