President Goodluck Jonathan has described himself as the best leader to be produced by Nigeria.

The President said no leader since the country gained independence in 1960 had done better than himself for the country.

He, therefore, said the comment made by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in which the ex-President described Jonathan’s performance as below average, was untrue.

Jonathan said this in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, in Abuja on Sunday.

Okupe’s statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to comments made by a former President of this country, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, regarding the performance of the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

“Obasanjo had at an event over the weekend declared that he rated the President Goodluck Jonathan administration ‘below average’.

“We aver that Obasanjo’s comments are untrue, misleading and clearly do not tally with the facts on the ground.

“We therefore wish to assert without equivocation that in terms of performance and achievements, no administration since 1960 when Nigeria gained independence from Britain, has done as much as that of President Jonathan.”

He said that every discerning and unbiased Nigerian would definitely attest to this “as the evidence stare all of us in the face.”

Okupe, who had also worked with the former President while in office, added that contrary to Obasanjo’s position, the Federal Government under Jonathan had performed excellently given the prevailing circumstances and resources available to it.

He said while it was true that Nigeria had been faced with incidents of insurgency and terrorism, especially in the last few years, the Jonathan administration had successfully contained the initial widespread activities of the insurgents, which he said were prevalent in 12 states of the North, including the Federal Capital Territory.

He added, “While it is true that the present activities of the terrorists in the three north-eastern states have become more deadly in mindless killings, kidnappings and supposed territorial seizures, government has made giant diplomatic strides with our neighbouring countries in order to checkmate the crisscrossing of the insurgents.

“The military and other security agents, which have engaged the insurgents since inception, have done a great job in spite of recent challenges.

“The truth of the matter which we must know and accept is that we have an internal enemy supported by internal and external resources waging a major warfare against our nation.” http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathan-to-obasanjo-im-nigerias-best-leader/

I want Nigeria to move forward but not with GEJ,I don't want him to be disgraced come 2015 and that's why Obasanjo is warning him to avoid he did not tell him

Is GEJ high on weed? Over 10000 Nigerians have been killed during your presidency. No Nigeria president has experience such insecurity since the end of the civil war. Yaradua is the best president Nigeria ever had. He is the only Nigeria president to ever declare his assets. He ended the Niger delta militancy in 2009 and he defeated boko haram and killed most of their leaders in 2009. If Yaradua was still president the boko haram terrorism would have been destroyed completely. He was less corrupt and was responsible for the arrest and prosecution of many Ex governors including Bode George for corruption. Most Nigerians thought GEJ would have improve on the good work of his boss Yaradua but he disappointed us

Obasanjo tried in his own way, but his incessant criticisms of the President is not the way to go. As a former president and an acclaimed 'state man' he should know better than to make such ungaurded public statements.

I guess if GEJ was dancing to his tune and fulfilling his whims and caprices then he would have been the best president ever liveth?

I subscribe to constructive criticism. But when it is done with ulterior and evil motives it becomes disgusting. Obasanjo should be a bridge builder and retire in peace rather than heating up the polity unnecessarily.

.............Unrepentant bigot.........

Someone need to tell Jonathan to stop deceiving himself, he should not think that score mark the sanTANist are giving him on the substandard rail system and airport reformation is anything but bullshit.
