Jonathan Desperate To Get Power – APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC), South East Zone, has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of being desperate to get re-elected in 2015 general election, whether by hook or crook.
South East spokesman of the party, Mr Osita Okechukwu, who spoke with reporters in Enugu,   said Jonathan’s desperation was for the second time revealed during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South East rally held in Enugu during the weekend.
According to APC, President Jonathan’s verbal attack on the opposition party in Enugu gave him out as a man obsessed with do-or-die politics in his bid for second term.
While recalling Jonathan’s statement in Enugu that the APC was progressing to nowhere in particular but to hell and that PDP was the only true democratic party in Nigeria, he noted that the president’s speech was uncouth, un-presidential and showcased a desperate president in his
quest for second term.
Okechukwu spoke in Enugu shortly after being elected as a national delegate from the APC Udi local government congress held on Saturday.
“How can a president throw caution to the winds, mount the rostrum only to cast aspersions on our great party, the APC? It means he has not found time to read the manifesto the APC, which has war against corruption as the first cardinal programme, a war Jonathan detests,” he stated.
Mr Okechukwu reminded his party members that, penultimate week during the North East zonal rally in Bauchi State, the president instead of narrating his efforts in combating the Boko Haram insurgents resorted to blame games and insults.
He called on Ndigbo to distance themselves from President Jonathan, insisting that a vote for Jonathan in 2015 would be a wasted vote “because even the Niger Deltans are disappointed with his poor performance since he failed in four years to complete the East-West road which cut across the length and breadth of Niger Delta”.
“Will it not be foolhardy to expect anything good from the same president with the same inchoate, nebulous and anti-people economic policy, bedevilled by pervasive and monumental corruption? You cannot vote the same president with the same inept and clueless leadership qualities and expect different result.”
On Enugu international airport, he said in spite of the hype, it cannot attract major international airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa unless the coal industry is reactivated and it is only the APC that can do this ‘for the PDP has successively from Chief Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration to Jonathan’s administration had promised to revamp the coal industry and failed woefully.”
