President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) had his chance as military head of state but failed to transform the country.

Jonathan therefore asked Nigerians not to allow Buhari to come back to power by stopping him from winning the February 14 presidential election.

The President, who spoke in Osogbo, capital of Osun State, at the presidential campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party said that Buhari would unleash more hardship and unnecessary punishment on Nigerians if he won the poll.

He said Buhari had the opportunity to ensure an effective mass transit system in the country but he did not do anything about it.

He said, “We have done reasonably well despite the challenges before us. All of you saw the train that just passed through this place now. We promised to resuscitate railway and we did it. All of you saw the train; we can even end the campaign with that.

“Those who have the opportunity to do it but did not do anything about it and they want to come back now. Don’t allow them. Mass transit cannot work by using small buses, you need train which will be cheaper.”

The President said that his administration was planning the railway line that would link Lagos State with the eastern part of the nation to make transportation of people and goods safer and cheaper.

Jonathan said that the Federal Government was also working on Ilesa Dam and Ife Dam and that he would do more if he given the opportunity to steer the ship of the nation for another four years.

He thanked the people of Osun State for the support they showed him in the 2011 presidential election while asking the people to show him and the PDP candidates much more support in the 2015 poll.

While further enumerating the achievements of his administration, he said that higher institutions in the state and in other states had been equipped through the Tertiary Education Trust Fund.

The President said that his administration had been working hard to tackle the problem of insecurity created by the insurgents, saying the problem would soon be over.

“We will win the war against terror very soon; terror cannot continue forever. In the next administration terror attacks will be minimal.” he said.

Once a failure always a failure

Wha abt him, he also failed

The truth is that you and buhari are failures.

Is that enough reason for u to waste 6 good years?

May God forbid having u 4 anoda 4yrs

What is failure? How did Buhari fail? to the best of my knowledge he was an astute administrator per excellence. Jonathan is the complete failure here. Reject Jonathan, Vote Muhammadu Buhari

amanda2013:
The truth is that both you and buhari are failures.

Fine girl abeg no fall my hand. Jonathan failed for 5 years, Buhari performed for 20 months

Its funny GEJ's camapign theme is all about Buhari Is that what campaign is akk about? Anyway, I just saw GMB's daughter today..,damn! Ill surely vote for her father now.

See me see Nigeria oh. Goodluck Jonathan that performed woefully in 5 yrs is pointing accusing fingers at some other person who spent approx 2 yrs and registered his achievements in the minds of millions.

Majority of the people during Buhari's time are of the opinion assuming his administration spent some more time, they would have kicked off the Nigeria of our dreams.

GEJ stop all this whining, your administration has spent 5 yrs and counting, and u have been unable to clear any rot in the system. Infact you added additional rot.

Buhari's administration spent approx 2 yrs and just that two years have earned him millions of passionate supporters spanning a 30-year period.

Jona pls use your brain, if u lose this coming election, after the next 30years do u in your wildest imagination think u can still have 1/10th of passionate supporters like that of Buhari??

The answer is simple. In Buhari's approx 2 yrs, despite all the things he did well and those he didn't, he was still able to register his performance in the minds of those of his generation who even passed this Buhari's record to the coming generation.

In GEJ'S 5 yrs, he has brought mainly woes upon Nigeria. And that is the major thing he will be remembered for, for years to come, especially if he loses his 2nd term bid.

Buhari that had less than a year and stamped reasonable achievement like no corruption, debt paid off, security, non increase in fuel price etc, and u that have had 6yrs with no concrete achievement expect ur pathetic trains that is scanty in some states. Who is the failure here

..

.....

GEJ is an embarrassment to Nigerians and Nigeria.

Firefire:
Once a failure always a failure

Who is the failure here after 6years of cluelessness and inept leadership?
I guess you know better.
