Jonathan Finally Reveals Nigeria’s Worth Before Handing Over To Buhari by impactinfluence: 4:37am On Jul 04, 2016 |
Former president Goodluck Jonathan has revealed the state in which he handed over the Nigerian economy to President Muhammadu Buhari. The former president stated that the Nigerian economy was the largest in Africa and worth a GDP of $574 billion as at when he handed over noting that he assumed office when the nation was only worth $270.5 billion in GDP and the second largest economy in Africa. Jonathan also noted that in 2009 when he assumed office, Aliko dangote was the fifth richest man in Africa but had risen to be the Richest in 2005 before he handed over to Buhari. While addressing other pressing issuues, Jonathan said: “the campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian versus Muslims and North versus South divide. Most world leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis. Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls. “That is where the leadership question comes into play. As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first. How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties? With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through. “Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it. My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body. “This rule of the law of process ensured that Nigeria’s peace, prosperity and progress was not derailed by the conduct and results of the 2015 elections and I am proud to say that while I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the world with a GDP of $574 billion.” He said he inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again, adding that He further stated: “I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement. In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa. “These are but a few of the parameters that illustrate some of the economic transformations we engineered during my term in office. This was made possible by the fact that there was a stable political leadership in Nigeria that did not have to pander to any other constituency except the electorate who brought me to power. And these actions have a contagious effect.” spynigeria.com/2016/06/04/jonathan-finally-reveals-nigerias-worth-handing-buhari/ 8 Likes 2 Shares |

If u believe any of this trash, you deserve to languish in poverty! Why does jonathan keep calling Dangote's name? You didnt make him. He was rich before u became President and will continue to be rich. The people u failed to mention are the millions of jobless youths u left on the street, the billions of dollars u siphoned for you and your friends and the dubious greedy appointments you made for u and ur friends alone. Coming here to tell us nigeria had $570billion has to be the biggest lie of the century! The facts just dont add up 23 Likes 5 Shares |

“Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it. My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body". GEJ Can you say it boldly that the INEC today is independent ? “Shouldn’t he (Buhary) have considered someone from either South-East, South-South or South-West as Chairman of the Electoral Commission now that we have a President from the North?” “When Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was the President, he never appointed a Yoruba man as INEC chairman. Dr Goodluck Jonathan too did not appoint an Ijaw man as INEC Chairman,” “Former President Shehu Shagari too did not appoint a Hausa man like himself as Chairman of the Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO). Rather, he appointed late Justice Victor Ovie Whisky.” [size=14pt] “How then can we have a President from the North and at the same time have INEC Chairman from the Hausa/Fulani Northern Nigeria?"[/size] 26 Likes 1 Share |

I now see why blame game Is always order of the day, Buhari Is very sure that he will never reach 50 percent of what Jonathan did. Noting Is working in this country any longer he should be careful of revolution because it Is coming if drastic measures are not taken. For those praising Buhari today, be strong in ur Faith in him because u might be stoning him tomorrow....... 7 Likes |

blackpanda: But u insulted and cursed every nairalander that 'dared ' to believe his statement even when he stated verifiable facts not figures pulled out of the air. Or isn't this an insult? blackpanda: Do you really believe this? blackpanda: Under this 'Change' era u are so enamoured with, is this aspect better or worse? Even Junaid Mohammed, the most vociferous attacker of Jonathan and anything in favour of the South has outlined a presidency currently occupied by no less than 7 persons who are blood n family relatives of the President. You also see clearly the nature of appointments made. Even the President admits he is appointing friends n family who stood by him during the ANPP and CPC days, clearly compensatory rather than competency considerations. See ehn, just calm down. It is not everything u attack. GEJ is not synonymous for d command to attack unless robotic settings somewhere amount to this then it is a dire situation for all robots programmed this way. Can u vouch for Buhari to enthrone peace over his political ambition? We had just a taste of his diehard wickedness as d aftermath of 2011 elections. What evil do you think he would have unleashed via his almajiri minions if Jonathan had decided to act like the regular African ruler? Even Buhari admits being shocked by GEJ's peaceful concession because he knows he'd never do so. Buhari couldn't even keep to his words not to contest d 2011 elections judicially how much more something he swore to have by all means or ensure d flow of d blood of dogs n baboons if he didn't win 2015 elections? Just relax! Sometimes let some obvious truths stand rather than expose ur default settings because truth will always reign supreme. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
