President Goodluck Jonathan was on AIT’s Kaakaki program yesterday, answering questions about the upcoming election and his prospects for winning. Check out highlights from appearance, after the click.
President Goodluck Jonathan visited African Independent Television (AIT)’s Kaakaki program yesterday to discuss his thoughts on the coming election and why he should be re-elected. As Sahara Reporters highlights:
Stressing that PDP still has the most formidable structure among the political parties, he said he was not worried about the possible outcome of the forthcoming presidential election.
He said: “I believe Nigerians should vote for me and I want Nigerians to vote for me because we have done well. Sometimes, as a government, we are busy working and we don’t advertise what we have done.”
“Sometimes, it appears not much (is done). Nigeria is a very big country…If you assess what we have done in a number of areas, we have done quite well and I believe that if Nigeria is linking up to where we were before and what we have done over these four years of government, they will want us to continue to make sure we at least complete some of the ongoing programmes.”
“We believe that in several areas, we have tried and we are working very well and if encouraged in the next four years, at least Nigeria will be able to stabilize in various sectors.”
He goes on to talk about how this election will be tougher to win because the opposition party is stronger than it has ever been. He also throws slight shade at the fact that the presidential convoy was stoned. When asked why people are so aggressive to the point of stoning the convoy, he replied:
Why do you show that aggression? If you are comfortable, you will not do that.”
