President Goodluck Jonathan made a comment on his Facebook Page and I quote!

Dear friends, you may have read in the papers some persons virulent attacks on my person, calling me a disloyal person. I would only urge you to objectively look at my past and the past of those making these allegations and let your conscience guide you. As I said, the only difference we need to make in Nigeria is between good and bad not North and South.

I was loyal to my leader, the late great President Umaru Yar'adua. I am loyal to Nigeria, I don't claim to represent North, South or a Committee-I represent Nigeria. I am loyal to Nigeria's economy, I don't have accounts or property abroad, ALL my children live and school in Nigeria. I am loyal to my wife and friends. ...Can those who accuse me say the same?

Dear friends, fellow Nigerians,

Earlier this week, I presided over the meeting of the National Council of State, where I briefed my predecessors and governors of the thirty-six States on my desire to set a bench mark minimum wage of 18,000 Naira as the new Nigerian minimum wage. My predecessors and the governors who were in attendance saw wisdom with me and agreed with government's plans and as such, I will forward a bill on the National Minimum Wage to the National Assembly as soon as is practicable.

I have congratulated the new governor of Osun state, Engr. Rauf Aregbesola on his victory at the Court of Appeal not because I am glad my party lost, but because I believe firmly and fundamentally in the rule of law.

When you are a sectional leader you feel insulated from problems outside your region and can "laugh" at the downfall of others. Leaders must unite the disunited and inspire hope to the hopeless. When any part of Nigeria mourns, I mourn, when they rejoice, I rejoice. I'll laugh with you, not AT you. I'll be a shoulder to lean on when challenges come knocking. Place this on your profile if you agree.

President Goodluck Jonathan made a comment "On The Decision To Reverse The Ban On Some Imports" on his Facebook Page and I quote!

You may perhaps have read about the Federal Government's decision to lift the ban on certain imports that were previously prohibited. Some of you expressed concern about this act and its ability to negatively affect the nation's economy. In the next few days the minister of finance will give a detailed explanation of the measure with particular focus on each item and why the ban was lifted. To you my friends on facebook who have asked, I have a duty to offer an explanation even before the detailed brief from the Minister.

President Goodluck Jonathan made a comment "Opening Up Nigeria To The World" on his Facebook Page and I quote!

When I took office on the 6th of May, 2010, we had only one airline operating direct flights between Nigeria and The U.S. Today, however, and due to the improvements we made in the nation's aviation sector with the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria  Project (TRACON) and the Category 1 certification of Nigeria's airports, I have now been briefed that two airlines, Continental and United are to commence direct flights bringing the number of airlines connecting Nigeria direct from the U.S to 3. By the end of the year, persons wanting to visit Nigeria from the U.S can hop on direct flights from New York, Atlanta, Houston and Washington DC.

Some have made their choice. However, I urge the rest of us to prepare to answer whether we are Northerners, Southerners or Nigerians. My passport and yours says Federal Republic of Nigeria. When we recite the National Pledge, we affirm to Nigeria. I'm a Nigerian candidate and I will not be tired of pledging to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and honest! North or South, East or West, Nigeria is the best.

‎2 months ago I told you about the 100 Billion Naira Textile Revival Fund set up the FG. As a result textile industries previously shut down for lack of capital are being reopened. Last week, the Vice President was in Kaduna to celebrate the reopening of the United Nigerian Textiles Plc and the fact that 2000 workers wi...ll be back to work. This is just one of many that will be revived via this fund.
