Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri has faulted the claim by the Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo that President Goodluck Jonathan is leading a visionless government.
Omokri pointed out that the administration of Jonathan has recorded laudable achievements which are alien to a visionless government, stressing that such feats have been acknowledged by International organisation such as the United Nations, International Food Policy Research Institute, KPMG among others.
The Special Assistant argued that Prof. Osinbajo’s report differs from the reality.
“Prof. Osinbajo’s report differs from that of KPMG, The UN and The Global Hunger Index. Whose report will you believe?” he said in a tweet.
Omokri was reacting to the earlier claim by the V.P candidate of the APC, who described the Jonathan-led Federal Government as “inadequate and visionless.”
Osinbajo argued via his Twitter page that “Nigeria is great and her citizens give so much, yet get nothing in return from today’s inadequate and visionless leadership.
Omokri also used the opportunity to take a swipe at the Presidential candidate of the APC, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari who he alleged threatened that 2015 will be bloody if what happened in 2011 repeat itself, pointing out that President Jonathan has repeatedly maintained that his ambition is not worth any Nigerian’s blood. He urged Pastor Osinbajo to prayerfully consider the vision of Jonathan and Buhari for Nigeria.
“If Pastor Osinbajo wants to talk about ‘vision’, he should prayerfully consider these two visions of the future,” he added in his tweet.
He urges Nigerians to make use of the infrastructure provided by Goodluck Jonathan during the festive period.
“This Christmas, travel on our revived railways, reconstructed Benin-Ore Road or upgraded Enugu Airport. Powered by GEJ!”
The KPMG has rated Nigeria’s high speed rail as world-class, the Global Hunger index also stated that hunger level has fall in Nigeria.
