The All Progressives Congress presidential campaign team has expressed disappointment over what it described as President Goodluck Jonathan’s failure to tell Nigerians his achievements in office in the last six years.
The APC presidential campaign team said in a statement in Abuja on Friday that the President’s campaign had dwelled on personal attacks rather than addressing national issues.
The Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign, Mallam Garba Shehu, who signed the statement said that at the PDP Lagos and Enugu campaign rallies, the President spent valuable time reading copiously excerpts from the maiden speech of General Ibrahim Babangida who overthrew Buhari in 1985.
Shehu said, “Nigerians do not expect a political commentary from President Jonathan of a nearly 30-year-old speech delivered to the nation by IBB.
“What Nigerians expect to hear, among others, is what he has achieved in the last six years and why corruption still remains endemic and the economy in a shambles.
“Is this what is needed to free the Chibok girls, strengthen the Naira, pay salaries of civil servants, stop the industrial stealing of crude oil or ensure the safety and security of Nigerians?”
“The APC Campaign bemoaned that after six years of Jonathan administration the nation is still gripped by pervasive insecurity, aggravated unemployment notably among the youths,” Shehu added.
However, he said that General Buhari’s election would re-enact zero tolerance for corruption, leadership integrity and national discipline.
He said the party dismissed claims by the PDP that a Buhari-led administration would jail the corrupt.
He said only the courts would have the exclusive preserve to do so after following due process.
The statement also said, “If the youths are so dear to him as the President has claimed whatever happened to the tens of thousands who lined up for the Nigeria Immigration Services recruitment with several of them losing their lives over which no one has taken responsibility and the Minister is still at his job.
“Even the automatic employment promised to the injured and relations of the deceased still remain a mirage.
“President Jonathan should be reminded that the February 14 presidential election is a referendum on his lacklustre leadership.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
