Comments By Some Governors Would Have Forced Me Out-President Jonathan


President Goodluck Jonathan on monday berated some state governors for their uncomplimentary comments.The President said if 50 percent of the governors in the country spoke the way these governors have been doing,he would have by now vacated his seat for someone else.He made this remark when he recieved a delegation from the North-Central who paid him a solidarity visit.

He said, “We thank you for this solidarity visit and for giving us a Senate President that has been able to stabilise the National Assembly.

“The governors from the zone have not been stabilising  the country because of the way some of the governors talk and behave. If 50 per cent of the governors behave that way, probably, we would have vacated this place and allow others to come and manage it for us.

“But they have been able to help to stabilise the whole country. When the governors forum became a monster and we had a lot of challenges, it was the North-Central that came on board to stabilise the governors’ forum.

“So, the zone has been able to produce very great leaders, not just hat leaders but they are patriotic leaders, so, we will continue to work with this zone, we will continue  to encourage you. As we approach elections next year, let us know the problems on time. We will work with you to ensure PDP continues to maintain the zone.”

Being a President who has our security situation at heart,he also spoke about it saying our security outfits were being positioned in order to properly tackle the situation at hand.

“The security personnel are moving in to strengthen the conventional security; that is the police. But we are working very hard with the National Security Adviser’s Office to make sure that the security challenges that we have across the country, whether in Borno State or the kidnapping in Edo, Bayelsa, Rivers, Abia and so on. We are coming up with different architecture that will deal with this insurgence.  As we progress, we will begin to bring the situation under control,” he added.
