BOKO HARAM:jonathan has abandoned Nigerians-Oyegun

ABUJA—Following the spate of suicide bombings
in the country and the attendant deaths, the
National Chairman of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Mr. John Oyegun yesterday
accused President Goodluck Jonathan of
abandoning Nigerians for selfish political gains.
He said it was unfortunate that the president
would find time to stage a public declaration for
his re-election when he was yet to provide
succour to the victims of Boko Haram mayhems
in the north east.
Speaking on the state of the nation during a
world press conference in Abuja, the APC
chairman said that the 2015 election would be
decided on the character and leadership
qualities of the Nigerian President. He then
urged Nigerians to disregard the President’s call
for re-election.
He stated that having failed to deliver in its
promises to Nigerians in the last 16 years it has
been in power, the ruling Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP has nothing to offer to the people
anymore.
His words: “Two days ago, you heard President
Goodluck Jonathan announce himself as the
candidate of the PDP and asked Nigerians for
another four years as President. You heard a lot
of claims, misrepresentations and voodoo
statistics, none of which can stand the barest
scrutiny. Disregard them!
“You heard excuses for failure to fix basic
infrastructure, arrest unprecedented levels of
corruption and halt the march of terrorists daily
inching nearer all of us. You heard promises that
sound familiar because you have heard them all
before since his six (6) years of President
Jonathan.
“Do not give the party that has savaged Nigeria
in the last 16 years an opportunity to finally
finish off our dear nation. The PDP cannot
deliver on any of the same promises it has failed
to honour in over a decade and a half in power.
