The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed says those who have been speaking on behalf of President Goodluck Jonathan make him look incompetent.
“Most of the spokespersons of the Presidency make President Jonathan look incompetent everyday. If your house is gutted by fire, will you be looking for those that ignited the fire or put out the fire?” he asked.
Mohammed also criticised the president for how he has been handling insurgency in the country.
“For a good President, what he should do first is put out the insurgency and then arrest those he suspects to be responsible.”
But the APC spokesperson said Jonathan “has no clue! He has been given everything he needs in this country to curtail insurgency. He wanted emergency, he was given, there is nothing he requested for that was not given, but what is the result?
“As we speak, there are over 300 of our girls missing, recently about 100 are missing.
“In a decent government, there is no President in the world today that won’t have a clue about where over 300 girls are! Should he have the moral right to say he wants to run again. Even as an opposition member, I am very embarrassed that the Boko Haram ragtag army can come anytime to abduct our girls, mothers and children! And the government has no sharp response except lamentation.
“We want somebody that can take charge and truly act as a commander in chief!” Muhammed said.
“Honestly, there is nothing President Jonathan can tell Nigerians today. No President in the history of Nigeria has been so warmly received by Nigerians as Jonathan, yet he has left Nigeria poorer, more insecure and more divided. He declared his rerun ambition months ago, but he never told Nigerians what he will do differently. That means there will be more of insecurity and corruption under his rule,” the APC chieftain noted.
He however said that the presidential candidate of the party, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.) was the only man who can make Nigeria secure again.
“Today, most Nigerians agree that the one person that can savage Nigeria, presently, is Gen. Buhari. I say this with all sense of humility, the major issues confronting us as a nation are insecurity and corruption. Every other thing follows from there. Gen. Buhari has the track record of being able to confront the two issues. As a former military Head of State, he confronted both. See, a corrupt government cannot fight corruption,” he said.
