President Goodluck Jonathan has lashed out at the All Progressives Congress, APC, after the party accused him of not being serious about the welfare and security needs of the nation’s security agencies as evidenced by the Ombatse killings in Nasarawa State in May 2013. Mr. Jonathan said the party demonstrated “insensitivity and crass opportunism” by making the allegation. The APC Presidential Campaign Council had accused Mr. Jonathan of not taking serious the welfare and safety needs of members of the nation’s security personnel in a statement issued Monday by its spokesperson, Garba Shehu. The statement said Mr. Jonathan was prepared to trade the welfare and security needs of the security personnel for political gains. Over 100 policemen and operatives of the State Security Service, SSS, were killed on May 7, 2013. They were on a mission to arrest the spiritual leader of Ombatse cult in Alakiyo village Nasarawa when members of the cult ambushed them. APC said the inability of the Jonathan administration to virtually do nothing since the killings is the most glaring example of how callous and uncaring a government, which claims to be democratic, can be. The APC also said in serious countries, government does not toy with the lives and well-being of its security men, adding that that any act of violence on security personnel is viewed and handled like an assault on the nation as a whole. “The action of the US and French authorities when terrorists attacked their Police personnel on duty is a case in point. “These governments did not rest until the perpetrators were eliminated and investigation is still continuing to get to the root cause of the assault to prevent future occurrence,” it said. Mr. Jonathan’s campaign team responded in a statement on Tuesday by its spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode. The statement said the allegations by the APC campaign team shows how the desperation of its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, for power has pushed it into a frenzied search for any imaginable reason or ground to accuse Mr. Jonathan of incompetence in the handling of security matters. It said the crisis that led to the death of the security personnel, in the first instance, was as a result of in- fighting within the political echelons of Nasarawa State, which is controlled by the APC. “As is the case with the Boko Haram insurgency, after the APC has wilfully exacerbated a dangerous security situation through its unguarded utterances and encouragement to rogue elements within its ranks, the party now turns around and tries to profit from further politicization of the fallout of a heinous deed in which it is complicit. “This marks a desperate low for the APC and is tantamount to a new form of political voodoo, which involves trying to raise political capital and electoral sympathy from the deaths of our brave fallen security personnel,” the statement said. Mr. Jonathan’s team also condemned in the strongest language what it described as the “APC’s insensitivity and opportunism”. It also said Mr. Jonathan had already established a mechanism to determine the immediate and remote causes of the unfortunate Ombatse killings. “In addition, while nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, families of the fallen security personnel were compensated,” it said. It added that since there is still an ongoing process to bring the perpetrators of the crime to book and forestall a recurrence, “we will not join the APC in the distasteful exploitation of the deaths of our security personnel for political gains”. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/174830-ombatse-killings-apc-insensitive-opportunistic-jonathan.html |

Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State on Monday described the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, as an incorruptible and honest leader. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Mr. Lamido stated this while addressing supporters of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a rally in Maigatari. He explained that he had no problem with the former head of state, but had with some of the candidate’s supporters, especially those that left the PDP to the APC. “I agreed like every other person that Buhari is an incorruptible, honest, clean and patriotic Nigerian. “My concern has always been defectors who our party, PDP, had made ministers, governors, speakers and members of the National Assembly and left us after benefiting so much,” he said. Mr. Lamido urged the electorate in the area to vote for PDP candidates in the coming elections. According to him, the party’s governorship candidate, Aminu Ibrahim, and his running mate, Dr Nurudeen Mohammed, will continue from wherever I will stopped and will not betray the trust, if elected.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has said the APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari cannot boast of any development project in any sector of the economy during his regime as head of state. PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, in a statement on Monday said when juxtaposed with the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan’s democratically elected government, it becomes clear that “Buhari is not and cannot be a match for President Jonathan”. The ruling party said General Buhari failed because he lacked the capacity and the capability to comprehend complex issues at the highest level of governance. It said the APC presidential candidate “lacks team spirit, a principal component of public private partnership critical for national development, a character his colleagues in the military rejected and kicked him out of office.” In a sector by sector juxtaposition of the General Buhari and Jonathan administrations, the PDP observed that “while Buhari suspended the constitution and led Nigerians by the nose, President Jonathan exhibited excellent democratic credentials by enhancing the rule of law wherein Nigerians, including Buhari now relish all kinds of personal freedoms which he denied the citizens during his rule.” The party recalled that while Buhari enacted the Military Decree 4 of 1984 with which he abolished the freedom of the press, President Goodluck Jonathan not only signed into law the Freedom of Information Act to, but also consolidate the rule of law in the country Whilst the Buhari administration carried out extrajudicial killing of innocent Nigerians using widely condemned retroactive law, President Jonathan has never trampled on the rights of any Nigerian, instead he has remained sincere, humble and calm despite all unwarranted provocations. “On education, General Buhari never built a single school during his regime as head of state and never cared for the educational advancement of any part of the country including the north. On the other hand, President Jonathan revamped the education sector, established 14 new universities in two years, revitalized the Unity Schools, initiated the Back To School Programme, established the Almajiri System of Education for the progress of hitherto neglected children from the north, an innovation General Buhari never thought of, among others. “Under Buhari, no effort was made to revitalize the railways as an instrument of mass transport in the country. Instead, General Buhari, on account of he famed parochial and sectional nature, scrapped the Lagos Metroline Project at a loss of over $78 million to the Lagos taxpayer. On his own part, President Jonathan has revived the railways. Today, our trains are back, ferrying passengers and goods along various routes across the country. The case is the same in the road sector, which was also neglected by General Buhari as head of state but now being transformed by President Jonathan. “On health, while General Buhari neither initiated nor executed any project in this sector that has direct bearing on the welfare of Nigerians, President Jonathan has repositioned this sector through a meticulous implementation of his National Strategic Health Development Plan (2010-2015). “Nigerians now have access to better and affordable health care with new technologies that have better positioned our hospitals to handle medical emergencies and disease control using international best practices and cost-effective interventions. “Also while Buhari did nothing to enhance the power sector, President Jonathan successful unbundling of the power sector with polices that encouraged massive private sector investment for greater productivity. The speedy completion and commissioning of key power stations including the Geregu Power Project in Kogi state, Omotosho 2 Power Station in Ondo as well as huge investments in other power plants across the country. The projects are there. The facts speak for themselves. “In the same vein, the APC Presidential candidate cannot boast of any investment in agriculture. Today, with the unique interventions by President Jonathan, Nigeria’s food import has declined by USD5.3 billion between 2013 and 2014 even with our increasing population. Our nation now ranks as one of the biggest food producers in Africa with our food production expanding by an additional 21 million metric tons between 2011 and 2014, a record exceeding the nation’s set target of 20 million metric tons set for 2015. “Furthermore, while Buhari failed in ensuring the productivity of the manufacturing sector, the Jonathan administration has repositioned the sector while creating enabling environment for private businesses to thrive. Today, the neglected automobile sector has been revived and cars are now being manufactured in our country as a result of the New Automobile Policy initiated by President Jonathan. “On security, we wish to remind General Buhari that Nigerians are still waiting for him to show them the investment he made in enhancing the military and security agencies which suffered the worst type of deprivation under him. This sector has now been re-equipped by President Jonathan to effectively confront the security challenges facing our country. Stating that Nigerians are more prosperous under Jonathan, the PDP recalled that the nation’s economy now ranks as the largest in Africa as against the situation under General Buhari. The party insisted that “what the nation needs now is not a return to the “dark days”, but to continue with President Jonathan and his Transformation Agenda for the benefit of all. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/174782-jonathan-better-buhari-pdp.html |
