Jonathan does not deserve re-election – Group

Ahead of the Saturday’s presidential election, a group, Quest Parliament, has said in Kaduna that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party under President Goodluck Jonathan has failed, submitting that the President does not deserve re-election for second term.

Adducing reasons why Nigerians must vote out Jonathan on Saturday, Chairman of the group, Ahmed Garba, at a press conference in Kaduna on Wednesday, noted that Jonathan had failed the country in the areas of health care delivery, security of lives and property of Nigerians.

Garba, who led other Peoples Democratic Party supporters to the All Progressives Congress, said Jonathan should be voted out of office for non-performance.

He said it was on record that the President had divided the country along ethnic and religious lines over his re-election.

According to him, Jonathan remains “the problem we have in our country today,” arguing that if he was not voted out of power, “nothing will change and the country  would  continue to go from bad to worse.”

Garba added that  when elderly men like Gen. Martin Luther Agwai had said the country needed a ‘change’ then change was inevitable.

“The PDP govt has failed in the areas of health care delivery, security and that is why there is a need for change,” he said.

He called on residents of the state to come out en mass to cast their votes for the APC presidential candidate, Maj-Gen. Muhammad Buhari(retd.), and the APC governorship candidate in Kaduna, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, in the forthcoming elections.

“Gen. Buhari and El-Rufai are both agents of the change at the federal and in Kaduna State,” he added.
