Jonathan On A Divine Mission- Kashamu

The Chairman, Organisation and Mobilisation Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), South - West, Buruji Kashamu on Monday said President Goodluck Jonathan is on a divine mission sent by God to take Nigerians to the Promised Land.

Addressing newsmen in Lagos, Kashamu said no amount of criticism from the opposition can deter President Jonathan from securing the mandate of Nigerians in 2015.

Also, speaking on the recent criticism of the president by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he said the president is being vilified for refusing to be a puppet, adding that Nigerians should ignore the comments, aimed at and focus on the journey ahead.

"As the 2015 general elections approach, there is a sense in which the contest in gradually becoming a contest between President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and the godfathers, as represented by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. Why? Just because President Jonathan chose to be his own man and pursue the greatest good for the greatest number of people, not a few elite".

Highlighting some of the president's achievements, he said "Like the rest of the world, the Jonathan administration is tackling terrorism while at once addressing the other issues of transportation, food security, job creation, infrastructural development, human capital development and Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs)".

"Some of the pragmatic ways that the administration is tackling the issue of insurgency include the Almajiri schools initiative, the Safe Schools Project, Victims Support Scheme and Presidential Initiative on the North East (PINE), among others".

"The administration has set Nigeria in the right direction, making her to be one of the 26th largest economy in the world and the largest in Africa, with half a trillion naira Gross Domestic Product (GDP)".

"When Obasanjo left office in 2007, the total power generation capacity in the country was about 2,600MW. The present administration has been able to raise the figure to about 4,000MW".

"Indeed, President Jonathan may not be the most qualified but it pleased the Almighty Allah whose ways are unfathomable to qualify him and make him our leader at this crucial time in our nationhood. God is not done with him – and with us, Nigerians. Our destinies are intertwined and no amount of blackmail can stop him. President Goodluck Jonathan is a man on a divine mission" he said.
