President Goodluck Jonathan has said that his administration had achieved a lot for the country but the Boko Haram insurgency in the North East is taking the peoples’ attention away. Jonathan said this on Thursday when he visited the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwan Adamu, and members of the Bauchi Traditional Council in continuation of his presidential campaign for the February general elections. He, however, promised that his administration would soon end the insurgency and free Nigerians from the violent campaigns of the terror sect. “The unfortunate Boko Haram excesses are taking attention away from our numerous achievements. “Everybody wants security; everybody wants to be safe and to be able to move freely. “I am therefore assuring you that we will bring the situation to a reasonable degree and will eventually end it very soon,” the President said. Jonathan said his administration had worked hard to reposition agriculture, transportation, youth empowerment, and promised that if re-elected he would work with Bauchi leaders to develop the abundant mineral resources in the state as part of measures to diversify the country’s economy from crude oil. “When we moved round in 2011, we got massive support from you and, since then, we have been working hard to justify your support. Insha Allahu, (By God’s Grace) we will also succeed this time. “We have worked very hard to improve agriculture and ended decades of fertilizer scam. We want Nigerian farmers to crop three times a year. “We are thinking of different options to fully diversify our economy due to the fall in the global price of oil and Bauchi is one of the states we will tap into its solid mineral potential,’’ Jonathan said. In his response, the Emir thanked Jonathan for the respect and love he has for the traditional institution and commendd him for his efforts to end the insurgency. He also expressed hope that the abducted Chibok school girls would soon be free. “We appreciate your love and respect to the traditional institution. Only God gives power, anytime He wishes. “I urge you and other candidates for different offices to bear this in mind in your campaigns. Politicians should work towards making Nigeria a stronger regional and sub-regional force.’’ he said.

Hmm

Well, he's absolutely right!

CARRY GO MR PRESIDENT!

really

for Northern farmers to be able to donate 5bn to Buhari campaign it means that GEJ has really tried in the agric sector and even the opposition can testify to this

True

It is only some group of people that are not seeing your good works. And those group of people are sponsored by ....

Another PHD in Zoology thread!

Achieved a lot? Yes
Is it enough to convince some people? Thats where the problem lies.

Another PHD in Zoology thread!

Did you even bother to read through before typing trash?

I still don't have light, Trillions stolen, over 20,000 Nigerians dead, lack of focus, etc. Jonathan should shut-up and start packing.

at this time of my life i think i need progress not change. as the saying goes its either youre crawling or walking or runing,but whatever way your moving keep moving forward.

Any Northerner that votes for GEJ is a sell out. Boko Haram is nothing but a means for PDP and Oritjefor to embezzle funds. Any intelligent Nigeria should ask why Ali Sheriff is GEJ best friend. can't wait till Feb 14th to send this conman back to Otueke.

go on Mr president...
We are solidly behind you
no weapon formed by a terrorist and illiterate against you shall prosper.
GEJ till:.............

baybeeboi:

GEJ till:.............

Amen and Amen

there is no vacancy in Aso rock, we want Goodluck Jonathan again.

Truly, GEJ has achieved a lot considering the fact that we are in a democracy.
We should forget agents of distraction and destabilization and vote for him.
We can achieve more with GEJ if we give him the necessary support.

Vote GEJ.
