TODAY, IFYOU ABUSE JONATHAN, THEN YOU ARE TAGGED PPROGRESSIVE - PRESIDENCY

President Goodluck Jonathan made light of the attacks coming from the
opposition figures in the country led by the All Progressives
Congress.
The President made the humorous remark whilst entertaining leaders
from the Peoples Democratic Party in the North West zone at the Aso
Villa.
President Jonathan said, "Some people call themselves progressives.
Today, if you can abuse Jonathan, you are a progressive and if you can
attack the Federal Government, you are a progressive. Even if nothing
is happening in your state, you are progressive. We have seen the
progressives before.
"But just like the Vice-President said, the PDP is still the number
one party and it will continue to be so. People may have access to
the media and use it robustly to their own advantage or disadvantage.
"But as long as we are united, we will do everything possible to keep
our party together. PDP will continue to dey bam bam. No shaking."
The President called on his critics to realize that his administration
was still young at the helm and called for comparative analysis based
on the length of his tenure and the landmark achievements recorded
thus far.
"Sometimes, when you hear people talk about this government , you will
think it is 10 years old, but we are only two years and eight months
in office.
"By May this year, we will be three years old and by May 2015, we will
be four years. And I challenge some of those who criticise without
thinking, to compare what we have done with that of any other
administration in this country and outside.
"When we presented our mid-term report for two years, I asked people
to develop their marking schemes. It is not just to criticise but you
have to compare and especially a government that is facing too many
challenges."
