You are de facto Campaign Manager for Buhari’s election – APC mocks Jonathan

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has thrown a pot-shot at President Goodluck Jonathan, alleging that his inability to provide welfare and security to Nigerians has made him the ‘de facto Campaign Manager of General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB)’.

Spokesman of the South-East chapter of the APC, Osita Okechukwu, who made this known on Saturday while addressing party members, asserted that Buhari had 60% chance of winning the February 14, 2015 presidential election.

Expatiating on what he meant by ‘de facto Campaign Manager’, Okechukwu explained that the election of Buhari became imperative as a result of Jonathan’s failure to provide welfare and security to Nigerian citizens, even though it has access to unprecedented resources.

His words: “President Jonathan lacks the political will to stem corruption and fight Boko Haram; that’s the GMB appeal, even from unlikely quarters like the South-South and South-East. Nigerians want positive change. Can a president who failed to utilise a good oil revenue regime, succeed under oil glut regime? No! No! No!

“It is my candid view that our dear president wasted a golden opportunity by failing woefully to fulfil the promises he made four years ago. For instance on 13th May, 2010, he awarded a $23 billion contract for the construction of three greenfield refineries – one to be located at Bayelsa, one for Lagos and one for Kogi. Five years down the line, the money had grown wings and the refineries dead on arrival,” the spokesman stated.
