President Goodluck Jonathan made it clear that his is the best President ever produced by Nigeria, contrary to the claim of Obasanjo that his Adminstration has performed below average.
He said Obasanjo claim of poor performance are untrue and baseless,
He noted that since 1960, no past President has done better than him.
Jonathan said this through a statement he made by the Special Assistant on Public Affair Dr Doyin Okupe in Abuja on Sunday
The statement reads,“Our attention has been drawn to comments made by a former President of this country, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, regarding the performance of the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.
“Obasanjo had at an event over the weekend declared that he rated the President Goodluck Jonathan administration ‘below average’.
“We aver that Obasanjo’s comments are untrue, misleading and clearly do not tally with the facts on the ground.
“We therefore wish to assert without equivocation that in terms of performance and achievements, no administration since 1960 when Nigeria gained independence from Britain, has done as much as that of President Jonathan.”
He said every reasonable Nigeria can confirm this as the" evidence stare all of us in the face"
He added that the adminstration has contained the activities of insurgence spread from 12 states to barely 3 states, including the federal Capital territory Abuja.
He added that “While it is true that the present activities of the terrorists in the three north-eastern states have become more deadly in mindless killings, kidnappings and supposed territorial seizures, government has made giant diplomatic strides with our neighbouring countries in order to checkmate the crisscrossing of the insurgents.
“The military and other security agents, which have engaged the insurgents since inception, have done a great job in spite of recent challenges
.“The truth of the matter which we must know and accept is that we have an internal enemy supported by internal and external resources waging a major warfare against our nation”.
Okupe is correct to an extent but glorifying corruption is the problem of this administration
