President Goodluck Jonathan: Constantly ‘righting’ the ‘wrongs’ of Nigeria's past.

He gave Igbos of former Eastern region their own International Airport after decades of systematic economic marginalization of the South-East by previous administrations.

He employed the first female Chief Justice of Nigeria.

He has built more Almajiri schools in the North than all past Nigerian leaders since independence.

Today, Pa Michael Akinkunmi renowned for designing Nigeria’s national flag has been duly compensated by our amiable president. President Goodluck Jonathan  directed that Pa Akinkunmi be placed on salary for life. Akinkunmi’s new status is Special Assistant to the President, he was also honoured with for Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic (OOFR).

One wonders what past Nigerian leaders (some of whom are still  jostling to return to Aso rock) did during their reign to reward national heroes such as Pa Akinkunmi.

A traffic warden, Cpl. Solomon Dauda and a Chief steward at the presidency, Mr. Onuh Isaac, were each rewarded with a house in Federal Capital Territory, as well as receiving  Member of the Order of Niger (MON) honours.

We continue to stand by our President and urge other Nigerians to stand by him.

LONG LIVE THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

PDP has absolutely nothing to gain from recent Ekiti crisis. .Blame APC

 The out going APC governor of Ekiti State Dr Fayemi has barely a month to vacate his seat and hand over to PDP's governor-elect Ayo Fayose, so why the violence?

There seems to be a calculated attempt by the APC in Ekiti to further punish the good people of the state for voting them out, hence the senseless violence. We all recall how prominent Chieftains of the APC reigned insults on the people of Ekiti after the gubernatorial elections, accusing them of voting for 'stomach infrastructure' instead of APC's so called change. The APC has proven itself to be a violent political party grossly incapable of accommodating dissenting views. APC wants power so much that it can dine with the devil and his soldiers just to grab power.

                             

The Nigerian army is currently recording huge successes against Boko Haram; yet no senior APC chieftain has come forth to at least give out a word of encouragement and motivation to our gallant troops. Unfortunately,if or whenever Boko Haram records any successes, the APC will be the first to shed crocodile tears in the Nigerian village square condemning the government for not doing enough.

We urge the good people of Ekiti state not to fall into the trap of APC's evil machinations; stay calm and allow our security agencies take charge of the situation.

We maintain that at the moment, the PDP has absolutely nothing to gain from fermenting trouble in Ekiti State.

Meanwhile, the Minister of State for Works, Prince Adedayo Adeyeye, has condemned the murder, on Thursday, of a former chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Chief Omolafe Aderiye.

He urged security agents to fish out those responsible for the murder.

Adeyeye, who described Aderiye’s murder as barbaric, said he was pained that quest by some people to remain in power against the people’s will could degenerate to the level of daylight murder.

He commiserated with the family, friends and associates of the deceased.
