Jonathan leading a malfunctioning government –says Tambuwal

The polity was astir with mixed views on President Goodluck Jonathan’s elaborate declaration to seek for re-election. Leaders of the leading main opposition APC have however insisted that the timing was wrong and insensitive, given the killing of 47 students in Potiskum, Yobe State, adding that they will give President Jonathan a thorough electoral beating at the 2015 polls.

Jonathan danced on the grave of dead students, APC insists
In Benin City, the Edo State capital, the national leadership of the APC and governors of the party led by Gov Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, at a rally, faulted the second term declaration of Jonathan, saying the President danced on the graves of innocent children, who were killed by the Boko Haram sect.

Jonathan will lose Bayelsa in 2015 – Oshiomhole
On his part, Governor Oshiomhole declared that President Jonathan will lose in his Bayelsa State in 2015 and be sacked from Aso Rock for an APC President to take over.

House of Reps Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal, said Jonathan was leading a malfunctioning government.

Tambuwal insisted that PDP government had failed the country, noting that Nigerians were deceived to vote President Jonathan in his first tenure, stressing that Nigerians must not vote any more based on stupid sentiments but on credibility, irrespective of the tribe of the person.

According  to Vanguard, At the well attended APC rally in Benin, former Minister of State for Works, Engr Chris Ogienwonyi and his supporters defected to the APC from the PDP.

Governor Oshiomhole, who reeled out his achievements in the last six years pooh poohed Jonathan for his comment that the PDP will capture Edo and Rivers states in 2015 and 2016.

He said: “When President Jonathan was here in September to launch the South-South rally of the PDP, he was reported as saying that Edo State will fall to PDP.

“He went on to say that Rivers will fall to PDP. Look at the word he used ‘fall.’ I want to put him on notice that Edo State is not an enemy territory to be felled by an Armed Forces and the Commander-in-Chief must not target Edo for falling. Edo will stand and march on. On the contrary, APC will defeat the President in Bayelsa State.

“APC will defeat PDP in Rivers State. APC will defeat PDP in Cross River State. APC will defeat PDP in Delta State. APC will continue to bury PDP in Edo State. What is the score card of the PDP in Edo State and in Nigeria? Failure!”
