The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign has expressed dismay and
disappointment at the inability of the incumbent President and presidential candidate of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to use the opportunity offered by his campaign outings to tell Nigerians what he has done for them in the last six years.

A statement by the APC Campaign in Abuja yesterday recalled that President Jonathan had earlier urged that parties and candidates dwell on issues agitating the minds of Nigerians and how these can be solved, but said it was surprised that in his campaign outings so far
including those of Enugu and Lagos, the President has been unable to do this.

The statement signed by Mallam Garba Shehu, Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign noted that at the PDP Lagos campaign flag-off and at Enugu, rather than the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria telling the people of Nigeria watching on television and those at the campaign venue what he has achieved and what he intends to do differently, the second-term seeking President Jonathan spent valuable time reading copiously excerpts from the maiden speech of General Ibrahim Babangida who overthrew Buhari in 1985.

“Nigerians do not expect a political commentary from President Jonathan of a nearly 30 year old speech delivered to the nation by IBB.
