Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau.Other than that he's pretty useless as the Boko Haram debacle shows..

Clark also said that the inability of President Muhammadu Buhari to counter insecurity in the last four years is something he finds distressing.
