TOBI AWORINDE examines the promises President Goodluck Jonathan made during his 2011 presidential campaign and how far he has gone in fulfilling them

President Goodluck Jonathan, while announcing his intention to seek re-election in November, 2014 said he had fulfilled the promises he made while campaigning for the number one office in 2011. He cited agriculture, oil and gas, anti-corruption, military, economy and electoral reforms as some of his administration’s feats.

But many of his critics would rather dismiss the President’s government as an abysmal failure.

According to the International Press Centre, Jonathan, as the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party four years ago, made a minimum of two promises at each stop of his nationwide campaign. Sourced from national dailies and television broadcasts between February and March, 2011 in partnership with the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, the IPC documented 91 promises made by Jonathan, under 13 subtitles, including infrastructural development, power, economy, energy and gas, and security. Others are agriculture, education, women, water resources, mineral resources, national question, reforms and Niger Delta.

Economy

On September 18, 2010, while declaring his interest to contest in the presidential primary of the PDP, the president said he would tackle unemployment and poverty.

He said, “Let the word go out that my plans for a Sovereign Wealth Fund with an initial capital of $1bn will begin the journey for an economic restoration. This restoration will provide new job opportunities and alleviate poverty. Let the word go out that our health sector will receive maximum priority in a new Jonathan administration, a priority that will ensure maximum health care and stop our brain drain.”

In a new year message to the nation in 2011, the then acting President Jonathan also pledged to further boost employment and to support small and growing businesses with a $500m facility.

Other promises by Jonathan included the introduction of five-year term budgeting; revival of industrial plants such as the Ajaokuta Steel Complex and the Itakpe Iron Ore Company; creation of 1.5 million jobs; and revitalisation of abandoned Federal Government properties in Lagos.

But a former Head of Department, Economics, Obafemi Awolowo University, Prof. Abayomi Adebayo told SUNDAY PUNCH that the fundamental challenge was the lack of a credible way to evaluate many of the issues.

“They say they have created jobs, but the truth is that unemployment is going up every day. And then, the time gap between when people are out of school and when they get jobs is getting longer.

“Except there is data to tell us, sector by sector, where those jobs are that have been created, as far as I am concerned, unemployment is a major problem that is getting worse daily. Beyond that, looking at the economy closely, you will notice a global dimension to the economic conditions, especially in terms of the fall in oil price,” he said.

According to Adebayo, Jonathan promised to structure the economy in a way that the country would not be solely dependent on oil. The economist added, “However, as far as I am concerned, we still have a long way to go.”

Infrastructure

In the President’s 2011 New Year message, he promised a N500bn intervention fund for the country’s power, manufacturing and aviation sectors. He also pledged to initiate a massive national public works programme in the states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, including renovation, rehabilitation and upgrading of schools, medical facilities, roads and other public utilities.

Also, Jonathan said he would revive the rail system, begin repairs on the roads leading to the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and complete the Second Niger Bridge in four years.

In an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, the Regional President (Africa), International Real Estate Federation, Mr. Chudi Ubosi, however said it was clear that many of the President’s promises had not been fulfilled.

He said, “I am not very quick to criticise people in government because it is the easiest thing to do. Many of us wouldn’t do any better, if given the chance. However, it cannot be denied that a lot of these promises have not been met.

“I would like to believe that, at that level, a man who makes promises has good intentions; that he is not making promises for the sake of it, or because he is seeking votes. In the past four years, we can say he has tried. I know that with the regard to the Niger Bridge. Construction has commenced.”

Security

While declaring to run in 2011, Jonathan said, “Kidnappers, criminal elements and miscreants that give us a bad name should be ready for the fight that I shall give them.”

On January 31, 2011, he again assured Nigerians that he would defeat Boko Haram, saying: “Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable; it is something we have to address and we are working towards that with vigour.”

The President also promised to completely transform the national security architecture of the country, eradicate kidnappings, pursue all bombers and terrorists, and to utilise modern methods to tackle political violence, among others.

Appraising Jonathan’s performance against his promises, a certified protection officer and security analyst at HJ Supranumedia, Mr. Segun Elijah, said Jonathan only tried to make political capital out of the insurgency facing the nation.

Elijah said, “Even if Buhari gets there, we are not expecting him to use magic. Everybody is facing it around the world. Fundamentally, it is wrong for him to take advantage of that. When you look at all those promises, does he have a structure in place to realise them? The military that he is banking on is rusty and they have not been able to fund or equip it all the while. They are just court-marshalling soldiers for the fun of it.”

Reforms

Jonathan had also declared, “Let the ordinary Nigerian be assured that I will have zero tolerance for corruption. Let the international community hear that today, I have offered myself to lead a country that will engage them in mutual respect and cooperation for the achievement of international peace and understanding.”

He also promised to work towards ensuring that Nigerians living abroad would be able to exercise their right to vote during the 2015 elections.

The IPC listed other promised reforms such as the conformity of the Nigeria Customs Service to global practices; strengthening anti-graft agencies; building a dynamic economy; and a government committed to equality and justice.

A constitutional lawyer, Fred Agbaje, however, told our correspondent that, four years later, Jonathan made many unfulfilled campaign promises. He flayed Jonathan’s administration for “brandishing unverifiable figures” as evidence of its purported reduction in unemployment.

The legal expert also faulted the Federal Government with regard to fighting corruption.

“What is responsible for fuel scarcity and queues at filling stations? Is it not corruption in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation? Did the former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor not accuse the NNPC of being unable to account for $20bn? And when the National Assembly intervened, what did the minister in question do? She ran to court to seek protective custody. Till today, nothing has been heard,” he said.

Agbaje, however, commended Jonathan’s administration for revamping the Nigerian railway, but adding, that the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway should have been a priority. According to him, this would have taken some burden off the railway.

Power

During his visit to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Jonathan said, “If I’m voted into power, within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement, and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything—even if I am there for the next four years.”

Between February and March 2011, he also reportedly promised to deliver stable and constant electricity by 2015; increase power generation to about 4,747MW by December 2011; reduce importation of generators by about 90 per cent; and ensure that Nigerians use their generators no more than twice a week, among others.

But the Chief Executive Officer of Power Cap Limited, Mr. Biodun Ogunleye, told our correspondent that the President had not been able to “get us where we want,” adding that the circumstances surrounding the issue of power in the country are not as simple as they appear.

He said, “The problem began with us thinking that we could get the power resolved by sitting in the corners of our homes and putting some theoretical papers on the table, whereas it is a practical problem that needs some wanton solution. To be able to move us forward, we tried all manners of things. But at the end of the day, we can’t say the things we tried have worked well for us.

“Immediately we failed to create the transitional electricity market, which requires about 20,000MW of electricity, we had created a problem. The new electricity distribution companies don’t have the capacity required for them to be able to deliver on what they have promised, because for anything to happen, the Discos need to have supply.”

Women

In Jonathan’s 2011 campaign, women were promised 35 per cent representation in government, particularly at ministerial and ambassadorial levels.

The National President, International Federation of Women Lawyers, Hauwa Shekarau, however, told SUNDAY PUNCH that though Jonathan’s administration started by adhering to the promise, the number of women in key positions eventually diminished.

“Immediately after the 2011 elections, when he constituted his cabinet, Nigerian women were able to get that 35 per cent of ministerial appointments. We also had some women being appointed into key leadership positions of the parastatals and institutions.

“He was able to deliver on his promise, even though, at the tail end of this government, the number of female ministers that were removed is less than those who came,” she said.

Energy and mineral resources

The IPC reported that Jonathan’s promises for the energy and natural resources sectors, during the 2011 campaigns, included facilitating the Petroleum Industry Law with emphasis on local content to create jobs for Nigerians; to invest under the gas-driven economic roadmap result in foreign direct investment of about $10bn; and to attract $25bn worth of investment into developing the country’s gas infrastructure.

Others were to ensure Nigeria starts exporting refined petroleum products within four years, because “Nigeria has no reason to keep importing kerosene”; to create 600,000 new jobs in the gas industry; to ensure that hydro-carbon deposits in some parts of the North are fully exploited; and to revamp mining activities in Jos, Plateau State.

Four years after, an energy analyst and Technical Director (Drilling Services), Template Design Ltd., Bala Zakka, said Jonathan was not to blame, even though the energy industry had not recorded milestones commensurate to the promises made.

“There were plans to create some refineries, but along the line, the idea was jettisoned. We have had cases where there were plans to even dredge the River Niger in order to improve inland waterways movement of goods and services. But at some point, these projects were jettisoned. The responsibilities were assigned, but the operational and the technical managers—Jonathan’s lieutenants—have not been fair to him and, by extension, have failed Nigeria,” Zakka said.

Education

In the education sector, Jonathan said he would establish at least one federal university in each state by 2012. The President also promised to improve hostel facilities, revamp the Almajiri system of education and ensure that every child of school age had access to education.

In his appraisal, Dr. Bamidele Faleye of the Department of Educational Foundations and Counselling, OAU, told our correspondent that every state now has a federal university.

Regarding the improvement of hostel facilities, Faleye said hostels in the OAU were refurbished before the 2013 Nigerian Universities Games Association events in the school, but it was uncertain if the rehabilitation was done in all federal universities.

On Almajiri schools, he said, “I watched the President say during his (recent) campaign in Sokoto that his administration had established many Almajiri schools. I have not visited the far North to be able to see this myself. Nonetheless, I have not heard of anyone disputing the President’s submission.

“The President’s promise on the issue of revamping the education sector (as a means of transforming the economy and empowering the people), to me, was not fulfilled. From the background of my experience, since the Academic Staff Union of Universities returned to work after the long period of strike in 2013, nothing new has happened.”

Niger Delta

For the Niger Delta, Jonathan said the National Boundary Commission would be funded to tackle the challenges that arose out of the ceding of Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon. He also promised to bring investors to establish petrochemical industries in the oil-rich, South-South region of the country.

But a Niger Delta activist and spokesperson for the Ijaw Republican Assembly, Ms. Annkio Briggs, said it was impossible for Jonathan to complete all his tasks in four years. She argued that it was on this basis that the constitution gave room for two terms.

She told SUNDAY PUNCH, “Regardless of what Jonathan does, he will be criticised. Jonathan has not been able to focus on the Niger Delta because all of his attention is on the insecurity in the North. Speaking of Bakassi, before Jonathan came into power, Obasanjo gave it away, in collaboration with the people there. It was given away at the international level. Does anyone expect Jonathan to go and bring Bakassi back, when it has been signed away?”

Agriculture

For Tunji Owoeye, the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of an agro-commodities business firm, Elephant Group, Jonathan deserves an A in agriculture.

“In agriculture, all over Africa, we have excelled. Farmers now get their fertilisers directly, without a middle man, and that is noble in this complicated, large country. In fact, in some cases, when they (government) do intervention, like when there was flooding a few years ago, farmers were getting fertilisers free of charge.

“If not for his agricultural transformation policies, we wouldn’t have ventured into investments in assets. But today, we are indulging in mechanised agriculture and we have our milling factory on the way. A lot of our clients, colleagues and competitors can testify to this. He has done exceptionally well in agriculture. It is not about politics; it is the truth,” the agriculture expert said.

Owoeye also stated that loans for farmers had increased. According to him, farmers’ loans have gone from less than one per cent to seven per cent in the total loan portfolio of banks.

I just laugh when i see thread with titles like 'massive" crowd at campaign venues...

All our political parties do is pay the crowd to show, and we see comments like, those that came to the rally were not given a dime...etc

While we see some e - warriors here screaming crowd! crowd!! crowd!!! as if their lives depend on it...SMH

In this coming election , vote your conscience. Don't be manipulated. If your pastor says don't vote for a Muslim, ask him if Daniel served a saint; whether Modeccai did not serve King Ahaseurus and if Joseph was not a prime Minister under Pharaoh.

This election is not about North versus South, nor is it Christian versus Muslim. It is about Nigeria and good governance. Don't allow politicians divide us. When they share money, they don't talk about religion. When they want donations from Aliko Dangote and Mike Adenuga, they don't remember he is a Muslim or Christian. When they enter an aircraft, they don't ask the religious faith of the pilot. When their bosses are atheists, they don't resign from the job.

When an Alhaji or Deacon gives them contracts, they don't reject it. They and their wives/girlfriends go to Dubai to spend money. Dubai is in United Arab Emirate but they have no problems buying houses in Dubai. But when it comes to politics back home, they start “religious” politics. Yet, some of these people were spiritual consultants to past presidents.

Vote your conscience. If you want to vote for Jonathan, vote for him based on your conviction that he has performed in your estimation and not because he is a "Christian". If you want to vote for Buhari, vote for him because you feel disenchanted with Jonathan government, not because he is a Muslim. Say NO to bigotry. God bless Nigeria.

appini:
Definitely not a good news for Buhari.

Do you have proof of this accusation Why will GMB be unhappy

Stop throwing baseless accusation everywhere...SMH

That's good, the bolded is for those shouting chad is carrying out an illegal operation in some part of the country, i hope they realise they were just shouting unnecessarily...Baga and Marte, also in the state, have been recaptured by a combined team of Nigerian and Chadian soldiers.

OreMI22:
I am so proud and grateful to Chad for stepping up to tackle the Boko Haram threat.

Nigerian army had largely refused to engage Boko Haram out of the fact that some officers were making money through this insurgency as alleged by some junior officers, and the fact that so many moles exist in the Nigerian army.

Chad has neither of those problems and therefore, Boko Haram have finally met a disciplined enemy.

I would want to agree with you on this one, some army generals would not want to see BH defeated because of proceeds they get from the funds meant for the soldiers on the frontline...

I hope this momentum continues...kudos to the chadian armed forces

No room for cowards in the nigerian army...This kind of officers are the one's pulling other gallant soldiers down

A Brigadier General, Enitan Ransome-Kuti, his Chief of Staff, Lieutenant Colonel G.A. Suru and some other senior officers have been arrested by the authorities of the Nigerian military over their failure to repel the attack on the headquarters of the Multinational Joint Task Force [MNJTF] in Baga.
Mr. Ransome-Kuti, the Commander of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, MNJTF, his Chief of Staff and the other senior officers were detained shortly after they arrived Maiduguri from Monguno where they and their troops took refuge after they were dislodged from Baga.
The arrest of the officers was exclusively disclosed to PREMIUM TIMES Wednesday by reliable military insiders who requested not to be named as they were not authorised to speak on the matter.
Also arrested, our sources said, are the Commanding Officers of the 134 and 174 Battalions — a Lieutenant Colonel Haruna and a Major Aliyu. The two battalions are under the MNJTF but were also dislodged from their locations during the Boko Haram offensive of January 3.
These senior officers, now being held at the officers’ mess of the 21 Armoured Brigade, Maiduguri, were arrested over their inability to repel the Baga attack in spite of the weapons in their arsenal. They have also been asked to account for the weapons lost to the insurgents.
Mr. Aliyu is an acting commanding officer of the 134 battalion. PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the substantive commanding officer of the battalion, a Lieutenant Colonel Etang is already facing court-martial following a previous attack on his battalion on November 5, 2014.
Our sources said military authorities are disappointed that the attack on Baga was not repelled by troops of both battalions and the MNJTF headquarters despite all weapons made available to them.

The sources said the military authorities are especially angry with Mr. Ransome-Kuti for his inability to lead his troop to counter the Boko Haram onslaught despite the high calibre weapons and ammunition made available to his formation.
The Brigadier General is also send to have gone underground for four days after the MNJTF was dislodged.
“Nobody was able to reach him and nobody could tell where he was,” one of our sources said. “The suspicion is that he was roaming around Maiduguri in mufti while his troop were in disarray. He and his officers have to account for everything.”
Also, the Brigade Commander of the 5 Brigade, Monguno, a Brigadier General Yekini, who was injured in the Monguno attack on Sunday, is yet to be arrested because he is still receiving treatment for injuries sustained during the attack, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.
He has been placed under close watch on his hospital bed, and might be fully detained once he is discharged from hospital, our sources said.
However, Defence spokesperson, Chris Olukolade, declined to confirm or deny the arrests.

He however said it is not unusual for the military to hold officers accountable for the tasks assigned to them.
“Every officer who is given a mission must be made accountable for his performance, and that is not necessarily an indictment of the officer; at least until investigations are concluded,” Mr. Olukolade, a Major General, said.
Suspected members of the Boko Haram sect had on January 3 attacked the base of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, MNJTF, in Baga, Borno State, dislodging the soldiers.

A senior security official said the attack, which started at about 5 a.m., was one of the fiercest in recent times as soldiers battled to hold their grounds without much success.
The MNJTF was created by defence and military chiefs from the six countries that make up the Lake Chad Basin Commission to combat arms trafficking, terrorism and related cross-border attacks that have continued to rise in the region.
Boko Haram terrorists see the existence of the MNJTF as a major threat to their operations, hence their continued attack on the base and the town with a view to having full control of the area.

In the last two years, Baga town has suffered five major attacks with high casualty – the latest being that of November 2014 when Boko Haram terrorists ambushed fishermen returning from a night fishing expedition and slit the throats of 43 of them.
The terrorists also launched three different attacks on Borno’s three largest towns – Maiduguri, Konduga and Monguno on Sunday. While the attacks on Maiduguri and Konduga were repelled by the Nigerian military, Monguno fell to the the insurgents.
On Monday, PREMIUM TIMES had exclusively reported how, despite warning troops to remain on alert, the leadership of the 5 Brigade failed to take the necessary steps and make the right deployment of men and equipment to check the imminent attack.
The troops were indeed warned to be at alert following intelligence report that terrorists would strike between January 22 and 25.
Despite the warnings, when the terrorists arrived on Sunday, the troops were taken by surprise.
Military insiders said the insurgents arrived at about 2 am on Sunday, parking their Hilux vans deep into the bush, with their headlights on.
Soldiers of the Brigade, who saw the unusual lights, began to shoot in the direction of the vans without knowing that the insurgents had left the vans and advanced close to the Brigade headquarters.

Suddenly, the insurgents began to shoot sporadically. The troop of the Brigade, including those of the Multinational Joint Task Force [MJTF], who were camped at a school inside the barracks after they were dislodged from Baga, engaged the terrorists in a long exchange of gunfire.
The biggest fighting tank owned by the brigade, known as “shika,” killed several insurgents, and wounded several others.
It was such a long battle that the equipment, which provided cover for ground troops, suddenly ran out of ammunition and began to withdraw.
As it withdrew, the rifle men behind also retreated, as the insurgents followed in pursuit. In the process, Brigade Commander, Mr. Yekini and a few other soldiers were wounded. It is not clear the number of soldiers and while 53 insurgents were killed in the attacks.
“We could have overpowered the insurgents, but there was no enough ammunition,” an officer, who participated in the battle, had told PREMIUM TIMES.

Have you bothered to ask your running mate what he has done about it with his sound health ?

He is busy doling out billion of dollars to pot bellied generals in the armed forces, who end up embezzling the funds meant for the gallant soldiers on the front line...

GMB is only following in foot step of GEJ, in 2011 it was GEJ that didn't show up, 2015 GMB is also not showing up...

I wonder why politicians take nigerians for granted, is APC and GMB just realising that those organising the debate are pro GEJ Why didn't they speak out about it before now Or did they just realise it won't be fair

I watched a debate between supporters of both parties, with the link posted here some days ago, the debate was anchored by SR and most people believes SR is a wing of APC, even at that it never stopped either of the debaters to make their point, so why would GMB/APC use the fact that the organisers are pro GEJ as a yard stick for not showing up

I don't think the chadian's entered nigerian territory without the permission of the government...Is this suppose to happen Well that's a question for another day...

BH is no more nigerian issue alone, nigeria and its neighbour are doing what should have been done since, I expect cameroon and niger to join in this crusade...IMO

If this is indeed true, then we need to teach the chadians a lesson...IMO

NafeesaAA:
And just so you know, Mallam Fatori is bordered with Niger and not Chad. So, I'm wondering how Chadian troops tranverse all the to northwest of Borno and recaptured Malam Fatori. My take is that they took Boko haram unaware, thinking that they Chadian Forces will likely advance thru Baga or Keinuwa in the eastern part.

GBAM...I must commend you, you are doing a great job, keeping us informed...

May God continue to protect you...
