By Ikechukwu Eze<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Chidi Amuta\u2019s article titled \u201cJonathan, Don\u2019t Just Run\u2026 Please Flee!\u201d, published in his Engagements column of August 24, 2025, is yet another example of the troubling genre of political revisionism masquerading as critique. While Dr. Amuta is entitled to his opinion, he is not entitled to distortions and selective amnesia dressed up as political analysis.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Even a cursory reader will easily see that his piece is laced with bias, inaccuracies, and glaring omissions, all of which betray a deeply prejudiced posture toward former President Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. It deserves a measured but firm response.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It is not the criticism of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan that offends. The former President is, like all public figures, not above scrutiny. It is the distortion, the attempted erasure of legacy, and the feigned amnesia about widely documented achievements that necessitate this rejoinder.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
For instance, Dr. Amuta\u2019s dismissal of Jonathan\u2019s youth appeal is as inaccurate as it is unfair. Hear him: \u201cIn terms of youth appeal, Jonathan has none that I am aware of\u2026 He (Jonathan) has advocated nothing that touches the youth. Nothing on unemployment,\u00a0 youth freedom, artistic freedom national pride etc.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Contrary to Amuta\u2019s assertion, history tells a different story. To begin with, Dr. Jonathan was the first Nigerian presidential candidate to launch his campaign on social media, a bold step in engaging Nigeria\u2019s youthful digital population. That very act, via Facebook, in 2011 was not symbolic; it marked the beginning of a new model of political communication in Nigeria.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
More importantly, his administration implemented a suite of youth-centric initiatives. These include, YouWIN!, a business plan competition that empowered thousands of young entrepreneurs with funding and mentoring, the Presidential Special Scholarship Scheme for Innovation and Development (PRESSID) offering first-class graduates opportunities to study at top global universities to enhance the nation\u2019s tech edge, massive support for Nollywood and the creative industry including a $200 million intervention fund, as well as the establishment of Almajiri schools, aimed at integrating marginalized northern children into formal education.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Still on Jonathan\u2019s youth appeal: In 2013 the Jonathan administration launched the agricultural initiative for young people, known as the Nagropreneur programme, by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development under Dr. Akinwumi Adesina (now President of the African Development Bank).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It was designed to engage and support youth in agriculture as a viable path to employment, entrepreneurship, and food security. In the course of writing this rejoinder, I sought AI\u2019s view on the programme and this is the verdict turned out by the neural network: \u201cThe Nagropreneur Programme was one of the most innovative agricultural and youth empowerment policies under Jonathan\u2019s administration. While not without flaws, it demonstrated strategic foresight in linking youth unemployment with the untapped potential of agriculture. Its relative underappreciation today says more about Nigeria\u2019s policy discontinuity than the programme\u2019s merit.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let me just state here for record purposes that one of the beneficiaries of the Nagropreneur programme, Ms. Affiong Williams, a young Nigerian entrepreneur, recently emerged as the winner of the 2024 Women Agripreneurs Award at the Africa Food Systems Forum, in Kigali, Rwanda.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As soon as the programme was launched, Ms. Williams took the decision to return to the country from her base in South Africa at a very young age to set up Reelfruit, an agro-based firm which is today one of the largest fruit processing, packaging and marketing firms in Nigeria.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
These are not the actions of a leader aloof from youth issues. They are not mere gestures; they are substantive interventions that touched lives and redefined engagement with the Nigerian youth. To put it mildly, they are the legacy of someone who saw youth not as campaign props, but as stakeholders in national development.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On economic and governance record, Amuta\u2019s claim that Jonathan has \u201cno record of outstanding service or performance\u201d is not only patently false but intellectually dishonest.<\/div>\n
Under President Jonathan\u2019s leadership, Nigeria became Africa\u2019s largest economy, with a rebased GDP of over $500 billion in 2014.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During his tenure, the country attracted the highest levels of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on the continent for several consecutive years. And if Amuta had not submitted himself to selective amnesia, he would have at least acknowledged, in the spirit of fairness, that inflation was kept in single digits, a feat that many administrations have struggled to achieve.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A pointer to Jonathan\u2019s visibility even on the global scale was that Nigeria served two consecutive terms on the United Nations Security Council under his tenure, a testament to the former President\u2019s international stature and diplomatic clout.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Furthermore, major infrastructure projects,\u00a0 including the resuscitation of the rail system, road dualizations, and power reforms, began in earnest under his watch. The Power Sector Reform Act and privatization of PHCN laid the groundwork for eventual sectoral improvements.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I found it laughable that Amuta claimed that there is \u201cnot much to quote from Jonathan\u201d. This is as absurd as it is dismissive. Since the beginning of the Fourth Republic, Goodluck Jonathan has been one of the most quoted Nigerian leaders, with many of his speeches in office producing memorable and widely cited statements.\u00a0 Dr. Jonathan\u2019s most quoted line, \u201cMy political ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian\u201d, has become a global symbol of democratic maturity and peaceful transition of power in Africa. It stands in stark contrast to many leaders who cling to power even at great human cost.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In another prescient reflection, Jonathan declared: \u201cThe day I leave office, you will remember me for the good things I did.\u201d That statement has aged remarkably well, as many Nigerians, in hindsight, view his administration as one marked by relative stability, freedom, and economic hope. Those who are now calling on him to come back and rescue the ship of state from capsizing may simply be echoing that prophetic reflection.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Amuta further stoops to misrepresentation by reviving the long-debunked claim that Jonathan paid the N100 million All Progressives Congress (APC) nomination form fee in 2023, a party with which he shares no affiliation. This is also a deliberate falsehood. Yours truly, as Jonathan\u2019s spokesperson, publicly disavowed the move, clarifying that neither he nor any authorized representative purchased the form. That should have settled the matter, unless the goal is to persist in falsehood. To resurrect a lie already buried is not commentary, it is deliberate misinformation and anti-intellectualism.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This is not Amuta\u2019s first exercise in intellectual revisionism. In 2010, he used the same column to endorse the political aspiration of some generals, men who left office under controversial circumstances, over Jonathan, a seasoned democrat whose political journey, though unconventional, has been defined by civility, electoral legitimacy, and historic restraint.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To the older generation, Amuta ordinarily ticks the box as a well-appointed intellectual and critic. Unfortunately, he allowed cobwebs to gather on his scholarship through his ignoble association with some vague political legacies including that of the military. It is ironic that a closet regime agent who later took to hagiography to openly defend dictatorship, thereby dancing naked on the conscience of true intellectualism, now attempts to belittle Jonathan\u2019s far more democratic and accomplished record.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
His dismissiveness of Jonathan\u2019s rise from humble beginnings as if being \u201caccidental\u201d in politics is a flaw, also betrays an elitist mindset that is out of touch with the democratic values of inclusiveness and merit.<\/div>\n
Since leaving office, Dr. Jonathan has become one of Africa\u2019s most respected elder statesmen. He has led multiple peaceful electoral missions across Africa, been recognized internationally for his role in advancing democratic norms, won the prestigious Sunhak 2025 Peace Prize and remains a credible voice on governance across the continent.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That is not the profile of a \u201cproblem child,\u201d as Amuta insensitively put it,\u00a0 but that of a model leader who chose country over power, peace over pride.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Dr. Chidi Amuta\u2019s article is not a critique; it is a careless misrepresentation of a leader whose record continues to speak for itself. Nigerians, and history, are more discerning than Amuta gives them credit for.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the end, it is not Jonathan who needs to \u201cflee\u201d from public relevance,\u00a0 but the habit of intellectual dishonesty paraded as commentary that must flee our national discourse.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Let us strive for balance. And in doing so, let us not allow personal biases to obscure historical facts.<\/div>\n
