The Labour Party, LP, had warned oppositions against using disparaging words on President Goodluck Jonathan and his office, stressing that Jonathan is the most insulted, disrespected and abused president in the history of Nigerian politics.

The National Chairman of LP, Mr. Dan Nwanyanwu, gave this warning during a courtesy call on him by the Inter-party Advisory Council, led by Dr. Yunusa Tanko, who is also the national chairman of the National Conscience Party, NCP.

He also described the economic policies of the Federal Government as ‘unfavourable’ to the citizens.

The party on Tuesday in Abuja warned that with the way the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, was handling the economy, Nigeria might find it difficult to fulfil her promise of job creation.

He also cautioned those using abusive words on President Goodluck Jonathan, especially his opposition to take it easy with the President.



He said, “The way the economy is being run by the coordinating Minister, Okonjo-Iweala,the kind of development we need will not be created. The way she runs it will not give employment to Nigerians.

She must change her tactics because her policies are hurting the economy.

Nwanyanwu, however warned politicians, political leaders, especially those in the opposition parties to desist from hauling insults at the president. She suggested that IPAC should call a meeting of all political parties “and look for a means of addressing issues, and try to fix a meeting with the President.”

According to him, abusing the President unnecessarily would not earn Nigeria respect on the global scale.

He said, “We have political leaders, who wake up and just abuse the president. Our president is the most insulted, most disrespected and abused in the history of Nigeria.”

The era where OBJ govt ushered in the mobile telecom with lots of promises he made. The era where facebook was gaining more ground and he decided to open an account to get close to its people either for it gain ahead which he fulfilled or others. It turn against him especially with the new year subsidy gift and that depreciate greatly the love and confidence we followers has. I think we have these insult because it bring no good but wish and dream good.

Is this man really blaming Ngozi for Jonathan's failure?

Is he saying we should blame GEJ's failures on the few true patriots we have as politicians?

Nwanyanwu...having an illiterate, daft, mumu as President of 170 million people is an international embarassment. When we insult him, at least people will know that there are SOME sane people here.

Wat of the 170million nigerians GEJ insults everyday with criminal state pardons, rogue political maneuvers n appointments, mass looting, corruption n overall incompetence


#..abeg!

Maybe because he's the Slowest and Dumbest

I'm disappointed in the south-south region if this is the best they can offer Nigerians as president.

#GodBlessNigeria

GEJ this GEJ that,the only problem I have with him is he refuse to fight the insecurity in the North as president.
But I ll not insult him rather pray he does.

If you let the leaders or leadership of this country to be a much of your problem Insult will be your second language.

Fair enough. Afterall Nigerians have been most insulted and most disrespected under his tenure. The fuel subsidy fraud alone is arguably the biggest corruption scandal ever in Nigeria yet nobody has gone to jail.

The last time Nigerians have been this wantonly slaughtered (post election violence) was probably during the civil war yet all our president and his advisers can do is play politics with it. Yeah I know they sent JTF there but is anyone really monitoring JTF & calling them to account for the atrocities they are perpetrating there in the name of wiping out BH? And how well equipped is JTF interms of weaponry and tactics? How about the other agencies like immigration, what's their contribution so far until recently? What about the innocent nigerians living there, how are they protected? I havn't mentioned the high wave of kidnapping and robbery in the south.

The Pension fraud scam is still there and we are being dribbled back & forth. Maina proudly rides about in Abuja with police escorts and the IG said he has been declared wanted

'Ex' millitants who should be rotting in jail have turned billionaires overnight and are now doing the job of 'protecting' our waterways as if we do not have a NAVY. That's like hiring bank robbers to guard your bank and teling your well trained security men to take a hike.

Ministers who should be lounging in jail are still occupying their positions and old criminals are being appointed into sensitive posts that should be held by technocrats. Infact that we have most of the current ministers in their positions is a huge slap to Nigerians.

A trillion bucks was budgeted for security (more like feeding the ex millitants and their own offshore accounts) and this is April. I'm yet to see or hear of state of the art key equipment costing millions / billions of naira that has been purchased by the govt to aid security.

The 2013 budget alone is an insult to Nigerians and its poor imp;ementation thus far is an even greater insult and a continuous daily slap to the face of nigerians.

People who dare to call the president to account are labelled as haters and blacmailed by the president's corrupt minions masking as special advisers. Let us also remember that this president promised us a leaner government but what do we have? irrelevant, sorrupt and redundant government officials feeding on taxpayers money.

Everything now is concessioning, PPP, privatisation e.t.c. as if previous govts (by the so called terrible northern millitary ) that built & managed roads, bridges, stadiums, other monuments & services(NITEL, NEPA) e.t.c. on their own were populated by supermen from Mars. Yes I agree corruption creeped in and crippled things especially on the service delivery part and I support the privatisation & derefulation of certain services but some things should be handled by the government.

To crown it all, the President told us on live TV in response to our query that he declare his assets that HE DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN!

To sum it all, GEJ & his cronies insult and disrespect Nigerians every single day this country continues to wallow in underdevelopment and therefore any insults directed at his person is justified. let him perform and even his most staunch critics will grudgingly applaud him.

It is unfortunate how easily we point accusing fingers at the very people that are working in our best interest. The Labour Party chairman is obviously ignorant of the CME's efforts at generating employment otherwise he wouldn't have made such ill-informed comments. YouWIN and Graduate Internship Scheme are only some of the fruits of those efforts.

The only fool.ish president who does NOT give a damn deserves to be insulted, he cannot notice it! Remember he does not give a damn! The du.mbest president in the world deserves nothing but insults and a violent removal from office.
