ABUJA — The Presidency,
Wednesday, chided the All Progressives Congress, APC, over its claim that
President Jonathan is running the economy aground before handing over, saying
“the allegation is immature, reckless and out of tune with the President’s
desire and patriotic commitment to a peaceful transfer of power.”
Special Adviser to the President on
Political Affairs, Prof. Rufai Alkali, who reacted to APC’s allegation,
yesterday, urged the party to talk less and plan more as the nation moves
towards May 29 inauguration date.
Alkali reminded APC that “governance
is a serious business,” adding that “with the sudden and unexpected concession
of victory to them, it appears that the APC is beginning to face the full reality
of managing the great challenges of a complex nation.
“Their recent, frequent and
unnecessary attacks on the President clearly shows that they are losing their
nerves and are beginning to lay foundation to justify their failures in the
near future and we want to remind them that Nigerians are not ready to accept
any excuses for their failure. They promised to bring change, so they must
bring positive change to the well-being of Nigerians and urgently too.
