Presidential Grand Declaration: Goodluck Jonathan ignores security threat, walks amidst crowd Freely.

ABUJA-President Jonathan’s grand entry into the eagles square and his mingling with the huge crowd of supporters has been interpreted by some analysts who spoke with Esan People News as a populist move, meant to douse the ongoing tension in the land.

For many, the action of Mr. President is in disregard of the current security situation in the country, making security agencies to put in place stringent security measures to ensure that the event does not record any incident.

Meanwhile, motorists and commuters in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja went through a hectic time getting to places of work as practically all the roads around the city and satellite towns were blocked. Our reporters observed that commuters were stranded at bus stops all over the city.

The traffic nightmare was said to be a direct consequence of the presidential declaration going on at the Eagles Square in the capital city. The FCT Command of the Nigeria Police Force had announced on Monday that some roads leading to the declaration will be closed to traffic between 5am to 8pm.

According to our reporters, roads leading from Bwari/Ushafa, Dutse/Kubwa, Maraba/Nyanya and Lugbe axis witnessed heavy slow moving traffic while some parts of the roads were completely blocked.
