Jonathan’s transformation agenda excellent —Ogbomoso PDP group

A zonal group in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, has described the transformation agenda of President Goodluck Jonathan as excellent. The organisation, Jumoke Akinjide Group, at a zonal meeting held in Ogbomoso North Local Government Area of Oyo State, said with the recent rebasing of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the just- concluded World Economic Forum on Africa, it became clearer that the present administration, under the watch of President Jonathan, was working round the clock to turn round the economic potentials of the country. “The real issue raised at the World Economic Forum on Africa, which is unemployment, has been a major problem in the country in the last 40 years. Development of agricultural sector is also paramount, as it could eradicate unemployment and poverty in our society. “This administration is doing a lot to tackle unemployment. The industrial revolution ongoing under the watch of Minister of Trade and Investment, with the roll-out of made-in-Nigeria vehicles by Stallion Group, attests to this. “The transformation of agricultural sector by the administration has been the best in the history of this country,” the group said. Speaking through its leader, Alhaji Lawal Ogbomoso, the group said, despite criticism, sabotage and distraction, the administration had remained focused and committed to making life better for the people of the country. Alhaji Ogbomoso said the abduction of over 200 schoolgirls in Chibok, Borno State; bomb blasts at Nyanya, Kano and Jos, Plateau State, were aimed to distract Jonathan and to create panic. It called for support for the president, especially with the insurgency ravaging the country in the North-East and bombings in Abuja and Jos, adding that the plan of the Boko Haram sect against Jonathan would fail. It equally extolled the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Bala Mohammed and the Minister of State, Chief Jumoke Akinjide, for creating conducive environment for residents of Abuja, adding that in Oyo State, Akinjide was a godsend.
