Former United States Special Envoy for Africa, Reverend Jesse Jackson, on Monday arrived the country through the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Jackson, a two-time US presidential candidate, told journalists he was in Nigeria to talk about urban development at the Kuramo Conference being organised by the Lagos State Government in partnership with the private sector.

He said there was hope for the Africa continent because of the sustained democratic rule in Nigeria.

He said, “One major future that Africa has in particular is that Nigeria had developed a stable democracy in this time that we are in.”

“I am here to be part of this conference (Kuramo) to talk about urban development, and what we need to rebuild and develop our city. Lagos is like a technological city in the world and the challenges are great here so this conference is meant to proffer steps in developing Africa.”

Jackson said that great nations were built by democracy, provision of drinkable water, universal health care and education.

The American envoy, however, lamented that Africa was yet to begin the process of building her citizens.

Jesse Jackson is not credible.  And not relevant.  Hope they send him packing ASAP.
