Should President Goodluck Jonathan Be Allowed More Time To Fix Nigeria?

Nigerians should exercise patience and allow President Goodluck Jonathan more time to fix the country, youths under the auspices of Niger-Delta Youths for Positive Change, NDYPC, have said.

He said the group never knew that a President from Niger-Delta could be the first to take the country to such a laudable height.

Speaking to newsmen in Warri, the group's national president, Comrade Biayeibo Preye, said the President was living up to expectations, citing his [Goodluck Jonathan] achievements in the areas of repairs and construction of new federal roads, local and international airports, privatisation of the power sector and many more.

 

“The amnesty programme collectively initiated by late President Yar’Adua and President Jonathan has drastically reduced criminality in the region,” he said.

“Niger-Delta region has all the reasons to celebrate with President Jonathan, if for nothing, but for the amnesty programme in which about 30,000 N-Delta youths have found productive engagement.”

 

On the 2015 presidential race and emergence of the new PDP, he said the division orchestrated by the G7 governors was merely to intimidate South-South region, asserting, “The splinter group of seven governors and their supporters cannot stop Jonathan re-election.”

 

Preye alleged that the plan of the seven governors was to frustrate the rapid development of the country, saying they should be punished accordingly.
