Jonathan Named Most Performing President Since Independence by chibecanglobal(m): 7:54am On Nov 01, 2014 |
Abuja - Dr Doyin Okupe, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, said on Friday that President Goodluck Jonathan, remains the most performing president the country has had since independence. Okupe said this at the Public Affairs Forum held in Abuja. The four-day forum was organised under the auspices of Okupe’s office to highlight the achievements of the Jonathan-led administration. Okupe said that although previous Nigerian leaders performed well within the circumstances they found themselves, none of them achieved half of what President Jonathan have achieved in four years. The presidential aide described as "nonsense" claims that the Transformation Agenda of the President existed only in the media. "It is nonsense to say that the Transformation Agenda of Jonathan existed in the television. We have not spoken about what he has done. We are going to overwhelm Nigerians during the campaign." Also read: Jonathan easiest sitting president to defeat in an election He said it was regrettable that not much had been done to sell the good performance of the Jonathan`s administration to Nigerians. Okupe, however, held that past Nigerian leaders contributed immensely to the development of the country to their best abilities as each of them recorded his own achievement. He said that the Jonathan-led Federal Government would showcase its achievements to Nigerians during the presidential campaign for 2015. This, he said, would convince the people that Jonathan remains the best option for the country in the years to come. He, however, advised Nigerians to shun the antics of the opposition, saying that in spite of their criticism, they had not told Nigerians what they would offer, if given the opportunity to govern. "This election will be a ‘no contest’ affair. We are telling the world what Jonathan has done. We will not stop until well beyond February. 2015," he said. Also speaking, the Minister of Transport, Sen. Idris Umar, presented the ministry's achievements in the last four years during the event with the theme "Jonathan`s administration: Four impactful years''. He said the resuscitation and modernisation of the Nigerian Railway system had reached an advance stage. The minister highlighted various stages of work on new and existing rail lines in different parts of the country, many of which, he said, would be completed by the end of the year. He stated that the Jonathan-led administration had repositioned the Nigerian port system in line with global best practices. The administration, he said, had also increased the use of inland waterways and enhanced maritime safety and security. The minister said that the administration had also improved the inter-model coordination of the Nigerian transport system and enhanced private sector participation in transportation in the country. "These achievements have certainly impacted positively on the actualisation of the Transformation Agenda of Mr. President to the overall benefit of the Nigerian economy and the citizens," he said. - NAN www.news24.com/nigeria/National/News/Jonathan-named-most-performing-president-since-independence-20141101 |

This must be the most stupid message from Dr Okupe ever. Mubi and Gombe are still fresh and he had the guts to throw adulations at the most indecisive Leader since independence. What business does the President have attending Bayelsa PDP Ward Congress when innocent lives are being lost at Mubi because of the lax in our Military watchfulness due to the immature announcement of a purported ceasefire agreement by the Chief of Defence Staff. Someone needs to be punished for this false news. This is not the time for Praise singing or electioneering jamboree. It is time to sit down, look at the probable locations where these puckish insurgents may plan to strike again, declare total war and end this mess. We all recollect that there was improvement in the warfare tactics of our Military before they were called to sit-down-and-look. Okupe and his ilk are the worst set of aides anyone can have. They are completely insensitive or inhuman to the plight of Nigerians. They should remember that those in the affected ravaged North of the country are Nigerians and humans regardless of who is responsible for this havoc. How did we end up with learners in government? Obj should always be ashamed for empowering and engineering a feckless leader on us. There obviously would have been better VPs with proven track record to support Yaradua. In a bid for Obj, to clean his own steps, he landed Nigeria in a mess! 2 Likes |

This is another big lie to confuse the under 35 generation. Gowon was between 33 and 40 years old and Head f State when Nigeria built 450, 000 kilometres of roads, bridges and highways in just a few years. Before all that, during the first republic, comprehensive free education and the building of the largest middle class in the black world by Obafemi Awolowo who also achieved the first TV station in Africa. The northern region government achieved unbelievable agricultural development. On the military side, after Gowon's overthrow, the Murtala/Obasanjo regime continued Gowon' s developmental pace with added focus on corruption, achieving growth rates of 11% and more, Nigerian shipping line was the largest in the third world, Nigerian airways one of the best, all refineries, petrochemical plants, steel plants and fertilizer plants were built . Even the Shagari regime did more for industries and defence than GEJ. IBB overthrew the Buhari regime and with the connivance of the western world completely destroyed Nigeria. That is the story kids, Uncle Doyin has been lying to you. Nigeria was better governed than at any time in history till IBB came in. Jona does not even come close to the first four in terms of good governance and is well known as the least intelligent president we have ever had. 4 Likes |

realborn: Instead of lanenting over jonathans failure, look a little deeper and realise this okupe niggga might just be right. We have never been blessed with a creadible visonary leader since independence. Who do you want to name? Buhari? Does counter corruption record make you a credible leader? Everywhere I go people keep saying obj is better than jonathan, what position dis he leave the military. How much did he spend on security? Did ebele meet a fortified and formidable army? Obj had 8 years to light the whole country, if we can't call him failure number one what right have we to insult ebele? I could go on and on. Come 2015 my vote won't count not because of election rigging but there no candidate that can turn this country around. I will be given the option of voting in two mediocrites, inother words my vote dosent count, the election dosent count. |
