2015 POLLS MAY END UP LIKE RIVERS/NGF CRISES –TINUBU he National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the Rivers State and the Nigeria Governors’ Forumcrises are a presage of what will happen in the coming 2015 elections. He, therefore, condemned the crises and the underlying forces behind them, saying such would only turn “an imperfect democracy intoa perfect mess.” The former Governor of Lagos State, in a statement on Sunday, accused President Goodluck Jonathan of masterminding the crisis in Rivers State. Tinubu, who described the crisis as an “assault on the constitution,” explained that the crisis showed the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party to promote democracy in the country. He said, “However, we all know the truth but most are afraid to speak. There is no way the police and small number of five lawmakers would act so brazenly, unless they receive instructions from their high places, attemptedto impeach the Speaker. Nigerians must ask: Is this way the President Jonathan intends to transform Nigeria? By turning it from an imperfect democracy into aperfect mess?
