When President Goodluck Jonathan became president he was
quickly confronted with an unexpected rise in insurgency funded by the very
same people who did not want him to succeed and who would turn around and use
this to assess his performance or lack thereof.
The president had to deal with saboteurs both within and
outside and his government, how can you win this type of war waged on the basis
of who you are and where you come from? Things that the president is not
responsible for and cannot change. How can you win a war that has primarily
turned to into an ethnic and religious one? All over the world the war against
terrorism has taken many years to fight and still the end does not seem to be
in sight.
Despite all those odds President Jonathan has made formidable
strides in all other sectors. Today, Nigeria is the number one economy in
Africa and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This is to the
eternal shame of those actively trying to destabilize the country, and
afterwards declare the President incompetent.
Jonathan took on corruption in fertiliser and seed distribution, ending four decades of corruption in the sector and saving the government over N25billion in 2012 alone. Through his transformation in Agriculture he reduced food import bill from N1.1trillion in 2011 to N648billion in 2012. The road networks are being rehabilitated, railways have been resuscitated. Although there is still more work to be done there has been real progress in the last four years.
