The newly registered All Progressive Congress (APC) has a warning for Nigerians: President Goodluck Jonathan’s purported re-election bid ahead of 2015 general elections may destroy the country.
“He (President Jonathan) treats national issues with levity. All he is concerned about is his third term. He has reduced Nigeria to kindergarten governance. This is dangerous and may destroy the nation”, Interim National Chairman of APC, Chief Adebisi Akande, said yesterday. He added: “Jonathan is the most powerful President in the world. He has all the powers arrogated to him, yet he is asking for more”.
Akande, a former governor of Osun State, buttressed his claim that the President is unfit for re-election with the allegation that he wrote two letters to the President as the National Chairman of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, on national issues, but Jonathan failed to reply.
“I did not see President Jonathan as a serious-minded person. Nigeria’s problem today is Jonathan. I wrote him twice when I was in office as National Chairman of the ACN on issues bordering on the state of the nation and, till date, he did not acknowledge the letters not to talk of replying”, the APC leader, who spoke while fielding questions from journalists on the state of the nation in Ila Orangun, Osun State, said.
He likened President Jonathan’s style of governance to that of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, saying the President keeps harassing anybody that stands on his way with anti-graft or security agencies.
Akande noted that the political crisis in Rivers State was as a result of the President’s ambition to remain in office beyond 2015.
On the quality of the person to flag the APC presidential ticket in the 2015 election, he said, “We want a thinking leadership in this country and not a kindergarten leader like Jonathan.”
The APC leader denied media reports that his party was not keen about the 2015 presidential election,saying he was misquoted.

ReplyDeleteThe worst and greedy and mayopia people called leaders in APC have not shown us their manifesto to be considered for even NASS seat
ReplyDeleteBlind politics has killed nigeria.politicians will only. remember d public wen dey are contesting. God must give us a good president. I dnt pray for d present administration but let will of God b done.
ReplyDeleteI would have want the APC to keep silent and do the work that needed to be done but for the Nigerian situation of things. Honestly, politics give power not to the brains but the outspoken. While in other countries there is an appreciable level of congruency between intelligencia and talkability, Nigerian cannot score high in it. Hence the practice of the politics of talking. If APC should refuse to engage the PDP in talks, they may simply be passed as incompetent by Nigerians. Many Nigerians like the PDP because they insult the intelligence of Nigerians by making them believe even the most rudiculous of things.
ReplyDeletePls these OLD POLITICIANS that have decide to form a CULT called APC shld LEAVE Mr PRESIDENT alone. The WORST JONATHAN is ten times BETTER than the BEST BUHARI and all his OLD CROOKs in APC. Carry on my JONA, GOD is with U.
ReplyDeleteAre u against buhari cos he's a muslim? Ur comments here are always controversial! I wonder why d admin keep publishing dem when dey said 'comments are to be moderate'. Where is the moderation here? Agreed he's entitled to his opinion but errors of opinion can only be tolerated where reasons are left free to combact it. Grow up and learn to address issues and not persons.
Deletethere is no crime in forming a strong opposition party, if PDP have a strong competitor masses will benefit because they will be force to work or leave. the only thing that is constant is change. we need a change for a better tomorrow. am not a Politian and I will never become one but better truth, all the ACN governors are performing, ogun, oyo, osun just in two years they have done wonders, I think if they are giving opportunity at the federal level they will do better. am entitle to my opinion and stand to be corrected. Be guided
