Goodluck Jonathan:Why president will lose in 2015 – Kano governor

he Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso has said that President Goodluck Jonathan will lose next year’s elections because of his administration’s poor performance.

Kwankwaso, who is an All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant, said further that the president has been tested by Nigerians but has performed badly on all fronts.

The governor reportedly stated this on Friday, November 21, during a visit to Abeokuta, Ogun State to further his aspirations. He said:

“The president has been tested and found to have performed poorly in all fronts by most Nigerians.”

“You saw what happened at the national Assembly. Nobody is happy about that. Everybody is angry and shocked about it. It is a sign of the impunity we have been talking about,” Kwankwaso added.

The governor also spoke on his defection to the APC and the choice of Jonathan as the People Democratic Party’s sole presidential candidate:

“We saw the signs early and decided to leave. The PDP printed one form for one man. We have never seen anything like that. This time around, PDP is as weak as any other party in the past. It is presenting only one man,” he said.

 “Nigerians have tested him and nobody is happy with his performance. There is no better place than APC,” Kwankwaso added.

The governor also spoke on the problem of insecurity in the country:

“Four million Nigerians are displaced because of insurgency. Thousands are in Niger, Thousands are in Chad. The President and the PDP are whipping up religious and ethnic sentiments around it to polarise the nation to win election.”

“Our military used to be known for its strength and valour. They have demonstrated that in Sierra – Leone, Dafur and other places. Today and unfortunately, we have a situation that is contrary to what we know before.”

“It has to do with the leadership at the top. It has to do with the capacity of the leadership at the top, it has to do with the political will of the leadership. APC has the capacity and the political will to provide the leadership needed to salvage the nation.”

“The insurgents have no place initially. They were roaming from one place to another. Now, they have carved out territories for themselves, hoisted flags and changed names. But APC, if voted into power at the centre, will provide the leadership capacity and political will to defeat the insurgents,” Kwankwaso assured.

Jonathan’s administration has also been criticized by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo who described the former’s performance as below average.
