APC Rubbishes Jonathan's Declaration Speech! by abokiigbo: 4:44pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
APC said by his latest act of blatant hardheartedness, President Jonathan is only continuing along his well-trodden path of acting without deep introspection. ''When about 60 students were killed in the terror attack on the Federal Government College, Buni Yadi, in February 2014, President Jonathan never visited the scene to commiserate with the families of the victims. When over 80 people were killed in the first Nyanya bombing in April 2014, President Jonathan went dancing 'Azonto' in Kano less than 48 hours later. And when almost 300 girls were freshly abducted in Chibok, President Jonathan neither acted fast enough to rescue the girls nor visited the village. His Administration even denied anyone was abducted, until 19 days after! ''This President has therefore established a pattern of putting his political interest above the security and welfare of Nigerians who voted him into office. This President has trampled upon the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which makes the security and welfare of the citizenry the raison d'etre of the government's existence. It is time for Nigerians to respond in kind by trampling on his political ambition and sending him back to Otuoke,'' the party said. It wondered what purpose the so-called Safe Schools Initiative of the federal government is serving when over 70 students were killed and more than 100 maimed within a week in two separate attacks targetting schools in Potiskum alone, saying: ''The Safe Schools Initiative will remain a mere tokenism until the fundamental problem of insurgency, which has claimed thousands of lives, is conclusively addressed. Mr. President, what Nigerians want is not an isolated Safe Schools Initiative, but a Safe Nigeria Initiative.'' APC said it is usually the practice for leaders who seek re-election to tout the achievements that will justify their return, adding, however, that in the case of President Jonathan, there has been nothing but blood, tears, sorrow and the gnashing of teeth by Nigerians since he assumed office, hence he has nothing to showcase but lies! The party wondered how President Jonathan could, in all good conscience, even ask Nigerians to re-elect him when he has wasted the mandate given to him in the first instance, adding that nothing shows the President's incompetence and cluelessness more than the failure of his administration to provide security for the citizenry ''This is undoubtedly President Jonathan's biggest and most fundamental failure. At times it goes beyond incompetence to perhaps even collusion, or how else does one explain that the rate and intensity of attacks have increased in the three states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe since they were placed under a state of emergency last year? ''How does one explain that more lives are being lost to the insurgency at a rate that is directly proportional to the increase in spending on defence and security? From 5.07 billion US dollars in 2010 to 7.12 billion US dollars in 2014, the Boko Haram Insurgency has fuelled increases in security spending to around 25% of annual federal government budget. In light of the rebasing of Nigeria’s GDP (put at N80.3 trillion or $509.9 billion), the yearly average for 2010-14, which is $6.58 billion, is equal to 1.3% of GDP, while the total for the 5 budget years amounts to 6.5% of Nigeria's GDP. ''Instead of asking Nigerians to vote for him again, President Jonathan should be apologizing to Nigerians for wasting their mandate and explaining why, since his Administration has increased security spending; declared and renewed emergency rule, issued propaganda claiming the capture and killing of Boko Haram members (including the leader Abubakar Shekau), destruction of Boko Haram camps, and countless assurances of improving security and winning the battle against Boko Haram, the empirical realities over the same period are that Boko Haram has become more daring and audacious in its attacks,'' it said. The party said instead of the transformation that President Jonathan promised Nigerians, he has delivered transmogrification, with unprecedented corruption, runaway unemployment, erasure of hope, total darkness even with millions of Naira sunk into the power sector and trains that are grinding their way to a long-forgotten past of locomotives in an era of bullet trains. ''President Jonathan, the Nigerians who turned up at the Eagle Square on Tuesday to witness your declaration may have looked vibrant and happy. Indeed, they were, because they have come to celebrate your imminent departure from office on the strength of their votes. While saying publicly that they will support you, there is no doubt that they are saying to themselves: Never Again!'' it said. 7 Likes |

This is why they are the Opposition! If you do 100 good things, their job is to say "You should have done 120". In this situation, what did all the annoyed posters above expect? That opposition should praise someone they oppose? Or you'd rather Nigeria be a one party state? 7 Likes |

I wonder the kind of opposition, we have...All they do all day is to condemn and condemn...By now I expect them to be giving nigerians their party manifesto... They should quit attacking GEJ/PDP and tell nigerians why we should vote for them...In other news Dayo Adeneye and Okorocha of APC declared their intention to run yesterday and today... I wonder why no one as criticised them for declaring after some students were blown off yesterday Talk of double standard... 13 Likes |

Well if APC are advocating that all electoral and democratic activities in the country including the 2015 elections be suspended until Boko Haram are defeated? then they should say so in clear terms! 9-11 in USA or 7-7 bombings in UK. Did not stop politics in these countries. The opposition parties at the time in these countries did not play politics with this tragedy. They supported the government in power in the fight against terror as all responsible opposition should! APC and Lai Mohamed are a disgrace to politics and are irresponsible as they come! Trying to score cheap political points with this tragedy is as low as it gets! The future of politics in this country will not and shall never be influenced by terror! I am 100% in support of Jonathan for going ahead with the declaration. Life must go on and these terrorists and their sponsors must realise that violence will achieve nothing both politically and otherwise! 10 Likes |

Are we surprised by APC comments? No. That's their hallmark, to rubbish everything Jonathan does or says whether Good or Excellent. Goodluck Jonathan's declaration has come and gone. It was a resounding success. APC leadership should deal with the pains and move on just like GEJ. |

nuclearboy: GEJ deserve a second term, seeing that the APC could not logically fault his claims on other key sectors of the economy. Its a shame that they are only using boko attacks as the only weak link. Shame BH is a fight against all nigeria not just GEJ |

APC has lost another opportunity to prove herself a worthy alternative. Why not criticize constructively for once? Did you collude with BH to stop GEJ's declaration? I can understand your pains. We need not search too far for the enemies of Nigeria.Their comments atimes makes one conclude that APC HAS MERGED WITH BOKO HARAM. |
