All APC presidential aspirant are better than jonathan says Atiku

Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, on
Tuesday, gave a damning assessment of President
Goodlcuk Jonathan leadership qualities, saying all
the presidential aspirants on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, are far better than
the president.
“Any of the APC aspirants is better than Jonathan;
whoever wins the party primary is better than
President Jonathan,” Mr. Abubakar said in Minna,
Niger State at the public declaration of the founder
of Leadership newspaper, Sam Nda-Isaiah for the
presidential race.

Describing Mr. Nda-Isaiah as a “personal friend,”
the former vice president, who is also a
presidential aspirant on the APC ticket, disclosed
that he and the other four aspirants had agreed to
back whoever emerges as the flag bearer during
the primary election in other to terminate the
Jonathan administration.
He added, “We are united. We have resolved to
support whoever emerges.
We are not fighting each other, that is why I am
here today. Our target is to rescue the country
from the misrule of the PDP.”
Mr. Abubakar lamented the state of the nation
under the PDP, saying that it had been grounded to
a halt.
He said, “It is a known fact that we don’t have
functioning hospitals, no good schools for our
children, no electricity and no good road, that is
why we must change the PDP government and
rescue the country from further harm”.
He asked the APC faithful, particularly those vying
for elective positions to return to their wards and
constituencies to engender change.
Also speaking at the event, the governor of Rivers
State, Chibuike Amaechi, asked the members of
the party to be ready to work hard in other to
achieve the desired change.
He stated that Mr. Jonathan and the PDP are not
only desperate, but would resist the change the
APC was yearning for.
“If you think President and the PDP will just leave
office, you are joking,” he said. “We all have to
ensure that we work and vote them out. We should
be ready to demand and ensure the change, even
at a point of death.”
Mr. Amaechi, who is the chairman of the Nigeria
Governors’ Forum, NGF, further stated that the
president and the PDP were already
manifesting their desperation to hold on to power
by the manner the security details to the Speaker
of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
were withdrawn.
He also lamented the manner the PDP was using
the police and the State Security Service, SSS,
saying their actions had given them out
as appendages of the party.
“It is a known fact that it is only the National
Assembly and the Court that can determine who is
the Speaker and not the Police and SSS, so we
must all rise and vote the PDP out,” the governor
said.
