The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Organisation has said it was no less shocked as other Nigerians by President Goodluck Jonathan’s admission in a weekend newspaper interview that he has underestimated the Boko Haram challenge.
The APCPCO argued that any leader in that circumstance should not consider himself fit to seek re-election.
Quoting President Jonathan’s recent confession that he underestimated Boko Haram, the APC presidential campaign said the admission was a direct evidence that Jonathan, elected on the platform of the PDP, has nothing to offer and must bow to the wind of change.
According to the statement by the Director of Media and Publicity of the APCPCO, Mallam Garba Shehu, President Jonathan is out of touch with the realities of the lethal challenges posed by global terrorism, including Boko Haram, which is affiliated to Al-Qaeda global terror network.
Shehu explained that for any President to underestimate terrorism, it means that he doesn’t take any national challenges seriously, including health, poverty, unemployment, power, education, infrastructure and other issues.
The APC presidential campaign added that with his admission, President Jonathan has passed a vote of no confidence on himself and his government.
The statement added, however, that APC presidential campaign was not surprised by the self-confessed failure by the PDP President, explaining that his confession underlines the imperative for change.
Shehu said with a President admitting his incompetence of a mortal challenge to the security of Nigerians, he has no business seeking re-election or looking for excuses to delay the polls.
