The APC Presidential Campaign Organization (APCPCO) says President Goodluck Jonathan should blame himself for the poor quality of aides and advisers that he has had since he was Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State.
The APC campaign stated that the admission by Jonathan is a self-indictment and a revelation of the quality of person of the President is, adding that he probably lacks sound judgment, owing to the fact that a leader is only as good as those who surround him.
Malam Garba Shehu, Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organization, said in a statement on Thursday that the revelation by the President is an indication since President Jonathan has been in leadership positions, Nigerians have had to cope with mediocre, insincere and poorly thought-out and
un-coordinated leadership.
“We in the APC consider it an act of God especially a few weeks to the March 28, 2015 Presidential polls that President Jonathan who insists on his re-election should make this revelation which to a large extent gives a deep insight into his person and character.”
“The President or the leader of the country selects his aides and the reason behind the selection is to enable him understand the country and govern effectively. In the case, where aides or advisers fail in their duty, the President or leader ought to accept responsibility as the buck stops on his table.”
“The fact that all this while, no one heard of Dr. Jonathan sacking or reprimanding his aides, makes his lamentation curious, self- serving and opportunistic. It shows that the unpleasant situation has served President Jonathan well until this time that he is desperately seeking re-election.”
“President Jonathan’s revelation once again confirms the fact that thePresident is habitually making excuses buck passing for his shortcomings. This is the hallmark of poor leadership and the reason why the APC is confidently presenting a credible alternative in the person of General Muhammadu Buhari, who has a track record of
performance, discipline and effectiveness.”
