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.”

Everybody is trying to score cheap political points these days

Any difference between the two corrupt Ogas? In a land of the blind, its a one eyed man that rule. In the real sense, are we moving forward or stagnant despite the huge remuneration from oil exploration?

As for me, our best leaders remain Murtala Muhammed, Buhari and Yar'adua RIP. Buhari especially had decipline as his mantra which Africans especially Nigerians need. His off was his harsh and brutal ideology for taking out his hate list. But GEJ on the other hand has good intentions but lacks strength to go through with them. Just my opinion though. If E vex you, go hug ebola patient.

I dont know much abt politics but jonah no dey take action der4 he aint d best, obj is d worst, i no wan go dat side

Best in his dream. An OBJ era would not have collapsed our security system as the mumu did. both are corruption based govt. but kudos to baba on security matters.

NO GEJ...u are just one fisher man who is still finding it hard to admit how stewpid he is.

There is a saying in hausa that says 'yabon kai jahilci ne' meaning: one praising himself depicts illiteracy.
Gej is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria and Nigerians.

TELL ME WHAT DID YARADUA ACTUALLY DO BEFORE HIS DEATH. IT WAS HIS INABILITY TO STEP DOWN WHILE HE WAS SICK THAT BROUGHT US TO THIS POSITION AND IF I MAY ASK WHAT DID BUHARI EVEN ACHIEVE DURING HIS RULE WAI AM SORRY FOR YOUTH OF THIS DAY THAT NO NOTHING ABOUT HISTORY.

OBJ is not suppose to judge GEJ. He is one of the people that kept Nigeria like this.

Our president is only efficient in replying and insulting the opposition. That's his only area of competency...instead of him to face the work of fulfilling all the promises he made to us back in 2011 when we voted him in. He has not achieved 40% of his promises and has even escalated the security and economic situation of the country further.

Yet he has the guts to start another campaign of lies and deceit. What a shameless man. Otuoke, his fatherland beckons unto him. No more cluelessness.
