This is the second series of the words battle
between the presidency and APC interim Chairman. In response to President Goodluck
Jonathan warning to Chief Bisi Akande (Former Governor of Osun State and the
interim National Chairman of new party APC), the party through the interim National
Publicity Secretary, Lai Muhammed on Monday said to the President, Goodluck
Jonathan to go to court if he felt insulted by a statement made by its National
Chairman, Bisi Akande, that he is running a kindergarten presidency.
In a press released in Accra
Ghana, the national publicity secretary said there is nothing wrong in
criticizing a democratically elected president since he is not an Imperial
President, a Monarchy or an Emperor. He also described Jonathan administration
as under-achieving one and said nothing wrong with the party leaders. Reacting to
statement made by the presidency concerning the two leaders Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu and Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, he said there is not wrong with them.
Read the statement here…
”In the true character of this
presidency, its increasingly irreverent and undignified spokesman failed to
respond to the issues raised by Chief Akande, and instead chose to haul abuses
at a man who is old enough to be his father. Such irresponsible act does no
credit to the spokesman or the president he is serving, and Nigerians will
definitely not forget such crudity in a hurry.
”Where is the presidency’s
response to Chief Akande’s assertion that he has written two letters to the
President over the serious challenges facing the country, without getting a
response? Where is the presidency’s response to Chief Akande’s assertion that
President Jonathan is witch-hunting political opponents? These are the issues
that Nigerians are interested in, not how many hours the President sleeps at
night because he is supposedly working tirelessly.
”In any case, if indeed this
President is working tirelessly, we need to ask who he is working for, because
Nigerians have yet to feel the impact of his administration. They are also not
interested in the fact that the President once served as a deputy governor,
governor and Vice President, because the experiences he supposedly garnered
from doing so have not impacted positively on his duty as President. That’s not
a surprise, considering that the President owes his meteoric rise in politics
to luck and destiny. Nothing else!” the party said
”As the presidency was composing
its empty response to the serious issues raised by our highly-respected
Chairman, the African Development Bank was saying in its annual report (African
Economic Outlook), quoted by the local media on Sunday, that the proportion of
people (Nigerians) living below the national poverty line has worsened from
65.5 per cent in 1996 to
69.0 per cent in 2010, most of those years under the PDP and the last four under President Jonathan.
”What therefore is there to
celebrate in a presidency under which power generation has fallen to 2,500MW?
What is there to celebrate in a presidency that has only given Nigerians
widespread insecurity, unemployment, dilapidated infrastructure, oil theft and
unbridled corruption. Of what use is the touted 6% increase in the GDP when
over 40% of our youth are unemployed? APC queried
”Mr. President, don’t let your
lick-spittle aides deceive you. There is absolutely no feud between the two
leaders. Waiting for such a feud is like ‘Waiting for Godot’.” it said.
Kindergarten president? Ahahahahahahahaaaaaa, this people hav finishd our president.
