| President Goodluck Jonathan |
The All Progressives Congress
Presidential Campaign Organisation has said that President Goodluck
Jonathan’s response to the challenge of failing Rivers State is both an
admission of failure and a sign of what he would do if given another
four years.
The APC campaign said this in a statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APCPCO, Mallam Garba Shehu, on Thursday.
The statement read, “It is bewildering
that President Jonathan could tender such a pedestrian excuse for not
developing Rivers State because he doesn’t want to be seen as a
sectional leader.
“If we must report the President by his
own words, he said he didn’t develop Rivers State because he wanted to
avoid being accused of developing only his area of the Niger Delta.
“Of course, we know that is a not the
truth. The President’s statement is false and totally insulting to the
intelligence of Nigerians.”
It further noted that Jonathan’s excuse
was an acknowledgement of Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s consistent position
that the President brought no development to Rivers State.
The APC presidential campaign threw a
challenge at Jonathan to produce concrete evidence of other states
that he had developed since he became president in 2010.
Meanwhile, the presidential candidate of
the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has expressed confidence
that Nigeria will move forward again.
Buhari said this in another statement by Shehu on Thursday.
According to him, the huge reception his
campaign trains have received in all the states visited so far indicates
how desperately Nigerians are yearning for change.
The statement read in part, “I appreciate
the trust and confidence in me. Our country shall move forward again.
The country is tired of trial and error leadership that is imbued with
absolute corruption.
“Let your vote count because it is the only instrument we have to fight for the change we so earnestly desire.
“This is to appreciate the people of this great country for the wide acceptance to vote for change in the coming election.
“The issues of corruption, insecurity,
lies and weak economy among several atrocities and damage that have been
done to the country are enough reasons for change.”
