Twenty four years from now, Nigerians will experience another change in government as President Jonathan would be sworn in for another four years alongside 24 state governors, eight of which are freshmen. Nigerians want the new government to make a world of difference in today’s politics and policy?
In this week’s edition, Saturday Vanguard speaks with a cross section of politicians and other Nigerians on their expectations of Jonathan’s government.
Alhaji Balarabe Musa, a politician from the North said he is not expecting anything positive from the incoming administration.
“ I am not expecting anything because, they couldn’t do anything in the past administration. They only loot public funds and that is what we are expecting from the in coming administration. They are the same people.
They are only there to serve themselves. You can see what is happening in the National Assembly. They are the same people, they can only feed people with lies and get away with it.
“People like them have no regard for humanity. There was nothing they were able to achieve while they were in office and when Jonathan became a substantial president of the country for one year. There is nothing he can mention that he has done except for the level of corruption that has continued to increase by the day which is not going to reduce. So, we don’t expect anything good from any of them”.
Alhaji Lateef Jakande, former governor of Lagos State expects honesty from the new administration.
“We are looking forwards to a progressive administration. The president is doing well which is a good beginning. We hope that he will be able to fulfil the promises he made to Nigerians. I’m particular about education, housing, power, health and employment. If he can meet the target he has set for himself, the country will be a better place. I hope he will choose people who will not drag him to the mud but people who will be honest and effective in all they do”.
For Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of Trinity House, this is the time for Jonathan to write his name in gold.
“President Jonathan has an opportunity to write his name in gold and change history. I hope, he doesn’t loose it. He needs to focus on the economy and energy . He should have a plan of providing energy for Nigerians. He needs to focus on infrastructure and building of roads that have gone into deplorable state. He needs to focus on education and health and have a policy for housing.
