From Matthew Aramunde,
Lagos
Ex beauty queen Helen Prest- Ajayi has berated some cross section
of Nigerians who continuously lampooned President Goodluck Jonathan for what
she called Nigeria’s accumulated woes.
He made the assertions at the Lagos State Secretariat of the Unity
Party of Nigeria (UPN) during the inauguration/launching of the women wing of
United Niger Delta Forum (UNIDEF) a non political, social- cultural group over
the weekend in Lagos a body she incidentally is the Patron at the Lagos State
Secretariat of the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN)
Speaking further, she said she will on continuous basis at different
forum remind Nigerians who hold such opinion about Mr. President that they
should know that he inherited an already bastardized structure that will take a
whole lot of assiduous efforts within a long period to fix.
“How can Nigerians so soon forget that the Military for close to
thirty –eight year ran this country in an unpleasant way some of their
misdemeanor while they held sway is fallouts of what the present administration
is saddled with?” she noted
Expatiating further, she said she is yet to come to terms that
after several years that the country gained its independence from colonial
rule, most Nigerians contributions towards the growth and progress of the
country, are still tailored along religious, ethnic divide.
She stressed that is rather unfortunate that Nigerians see
themselves as persons from the South and North not as Nigerians and as such
think along those divide which has further alienated us in the efforts to grow
the country
In her contribution the Chief launcher Mrs. Justina Oguta is
of the opinion that the President whom she say is a good man has really
not be allowed to unfold his potential as a pragmatic leader in a situation of
security challenges presently unleashed by the mindless vampires called Boko
Haram.
She stressed that the level of distraction as recorded by these
assault, have drawn the administration back because the energies and
resources they would have used on embarking and completed masses- oriented
projects desired by Nigerians are sadly channeled in the fight to stem the
rising security challenge.
The Founding President of the group Ese Gabriel reveal that the group is in the
vanguard of good governance and as such are currently mobilizing and
sensitizing their members at home and in the Diaspora. This he said is geared
towards making sure that President is re- elected come 2015.
He therefore calls on all Deltans to come out in their thousands
and vote Goodluck Jonathan in the forth-coming election.
He took a swipe at those who are saying the President has underperformed
contending that what the Goodluck administration has achieved in the past six
years cannot be equaled for a very long time
In a related development, a woman leader of the Unity Party of
Nigeria Mrs. Rose Harrison has said that the Unity Party of Nigeria will come
2015 work assiduously to produce pragmatic and resourceful leaders in
governance.
Her words ‘We in UPN have a tall order which is in line with the
ideals and thoughts of our founder the late sage Pa Obafemi Awolowo to effect
the change of pilfering the commonwealth of the people which is now the
norm in the Nigeria political firmament and that we have promised ourselves to
do” she enthused
