Just enumerate the things you have benefited from Jonathans Administration. Apart from rehabilitation of Benin Ore road nothing else. Power privatization is a failure. EFCC and ICPC are dead. Corruption fight is at its lowest ebb Among many other failures! So i wonder why many people still want this clueless man to continue ruling this nation.

OXYZ: Please,I would like to pick conscience of those clamouring for the coming backof GEJ.Kindly ask yourself this quesitions ;in what ways has he impacted your life from the commencement of administration.what has he done to move your life forward?

jmaine:
The fact that we can comfortably chose our leaders in a free and fair election says it all . .

ITbomb:
Thank you Sir for the opportunity.
I will deal with only what has impacted my life personally.
1. I can drive all around the major towns in Akwa Ibom without a single pot hole most of them dualized carriage way. Saving money that could have gone to mechanics n motor parts dealers.
2. I can drive comfortably from Eket to Port Harcourt on the near completed portion of East West road.
3. My neighbor earns an additional 20k every months by sweeping the street in the morning before going to her business. Money that would have gone to Swiss Bank.
4. I have not slept in the filling station even when the oil marketers are doing their strike .
5. I had 5 bales of clothing delivered to our project site in Lagos from Kaduna by train for 2k instead of 20k by bus
6. I feel nice and comfortable at the airport from Lagos to Uyo as all facilities are working.
7. I feel happy when the president is not using EFCC or threat to confuse governance at the state level.
8. The middle class is back and vibrant with great purchasing power....
9. More classroom blocks, health centres and water projects have been built in the past 3 years than in the past 15 years
10. More to come
I will not mention power because electricity is still poor in my area , though I envy Anambra State and part of Rivers State.
However,
As Longeria would say ' Your Excellency , you deserved a second term , you will get it '
