“Jonathan is the easiest sitting president to defeat in an election"- Kwankwaso

Category: Nigerian National News

All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential aspirant and Kano State governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso has said President Goodluck Jonathan is “the easiest sitting president for any opposition party to defeat in a free and fair election .”


The presidential hopeful who was in Ilorin for the meeting of the Progressive Governors’ Forum also posited that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will not last beyond 2015.
He insisted that what Nigeria needs in 2015 is a leader who can instill discipline and demonstrate the capacity to effect needed changes in the polity. 
He said, “Jonathan is the easiest sitting president to defeat in an election because of insecurity in the land because the first and foremost responsibility of any government is security of the people.
“You people are not in the front line and that is why you may not understand the gravity of the situation. As I speak with you some people are on the hills, in the forest, under mountains taking refuge; they are internally displaced. Just on Monday we sent six trucks of relief materials to our people in refuge camps in Niger Republic.
“Unfortunately we have leaders in this country who have divided the county along religious and ethnic lines. 
"All other countries are making progress but here we are being fed with statistics that cannot be verified. I think Jonathan should be happy if we unseat him because it will help him to go and rest.

“Change is possible once you get the right agent of change. What has happened in Kano State for instance has never happened and what made it possible was that the people had a new governor in 2011; it was that simple.

"We need people who are disciplined in Nigeria; people who mean what they say and stick to it.”

“But in any case I have said it before that PDP will rule for only 16 years and that 16 years will lapse by May 2015. They will pack out by 2015 and that is it.”
