Jonathan lacks capacity to move Nigeria forward

Former Federal Capital Territory Minister, Mohammed Abba Gana, yesterday came under attack from northern political leaders, who denigrated him for daring to canvass for four more years for President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Secretary General of the Northern Elders’ Forum, Prof Ango Abdullahi and second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, dismissed Abba-Gana’s suggestion for a second term for Jonathan as ill-conceived, pointing out that the President did not deserve it.

According to the two northern leaders, Jonathan had failed to tackle the myriad of challenges confronting the nation, thereby showing that he lacked the capacity to move Nigeria forward.

Another four years for Jonathan would push the country into the abyss and Nigerians cannot afford to take such a risk, the two men said, pointing out that Abba Gana was not qualified to speak for the north, going by his antecedents.

The former minister incurred the wrath of the northern leaders when he advocated in Lagos on Monday that giving Jonathan another four years would not hurt the North in any way.
