The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Thursday said President Goodluck Jonathan has abandoned Nigerians and cannot lay claim to a re-election ticket.
He dismissed Jonathan’s speech at the presidential declaration ceremony on Tuesday as empty and full of voodoo statistics. he asked Nigerians not to give the Peoples Democratic Party which had savaged the nation for 15 years another opportunity to “finish off” Nigeria.
He said if given the chance, APC will rebuild Nigeria and reclaim all seized territories from Boko Haram insurgents. Oyegun, who made the submissions on the state of the nation at a briefing in Abuja, said APC will make history in the next few months by defeating the ruling party.
He insisted that APC will conduct the affairs of the nation “differently and better than the PDP.”
He listed the party’s priorities as follows – Uniting Nigerians, openness and transparency, upholding the Rule of Law, defence of the territorial integrity of the nation, motivate and equip the Armed Forces, true federalism, rebuilding and expanding infrastructure and investment in human capital, among others.
He said: “The 2015 election will be decided on the character and leadership qualities of the Nigerian President. The Commander-in-Chief should also be “Consoler-in-Chief” bringing comfort and succor to our people in time of grief and distress.
“You heard two days ago President Jonathan saying that good leaders do not walk away from the people, sadly though the statement is true, our President who wants another four years does not show evidence of sympathy for hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens who are now Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) as a result of the occupation of their land by Boko Haram.
“He brings no relief or comfort to those living under the reign of terror. About 50 young Nigerian school children were killed and several others injured in Potiskum just a few days before the extravaganza show of his declaration.
“Yet we do not hear of a Presidential visit to the families of the victims, a pattern that has become usual. Our President lives in his comfort zone, content to utter words, and ‘minutes of silence’ that have no meaning to the victims.
“The President has abandoned the Nigerian people. We should end the journey with President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 and elect a leader who will be part of our lives and lead with courage and empathy.”
Oyegun also said Jonathan has nothing new to offer since he could not fix the epileptic power sector and address the insecurity nationwide.
He said the President’s declaration speech was full of voodoo statistics and excuses for failure.
