Deputy-Director General of the National Campaign Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, urged Nigerians to re-elect President Goodluck Jonathan because there is no sector in the state that the government of Jonathan has not touched and he still has the energy to carry on the stress of governance.
Obi while addressing journalists during the presidential campaign in Abeokuta, the Ogun State said “There is no sector in the state that the government of Jonathan has not touched. The other day, the trains that stopped running in the country over 30 years ago came back on tracks.
“Under him, our airports are witnessing the type of infrastructural upgrade the sector had not witnessed in the past. In the area of agriculture, salient, verifiable reforms are the order of the day. In education, we have seen the attention to the needs of the country made manifest in the special schools for almajiris and our migrant population.
“He has also, in four years, established 12 new universities, thus making it possible for all the states in the country to have at least one federal university. In the challenging power sector, the unbundling of the generation and distribution into private hands will make the sector witness the type of revolution this country witnessed when telephone was privatised.
“In terms of security, it is under him that the real equipping of the army started. Above all, much as we respect old age and pray to grow old like our fathers of today, we must admit that age is more on the side of President Jonathan. Still under 60, he has the energy to carry in his shoulders, the stress and storm of governance.”
