Okupe replies OBJ - Jonathan has done better than all other Naija Presidents

THE Presidency on Sunday fired back at the former president Olusegun Obasanjo for claiming that President Goodluck Jonathan’s performance in office is below average, insisting that Jonathan has performed better than all other previous Nigerian leaders.

A statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, in Abuja, faulted the claim made by Obasanjo at an event at the weekend, saying that the comments “are untrue, misleading and clearly do not tally with the facts on the ground.”

The statement said the presidency wished to assert “without equivocation that in terms of performance and achievements, no administration since 1960 when Nigeria gained independence from Britain, has done as much as that of President Jonathan.”
