slim fit :
Jonathan probably don't know the meaning of leadership, when you treat your people well they will protect you themselves when you don't the opposite happens. Why must there be a road closure because he is coming making it very easy for snipers to target him, or maybe that's the only way he looks relevant. Maybe that is the only thing that makes him feel like a president.

lekanwj: GEJ has teribble advisers. the fixing of the visit was deliberate to scuttle the convention that has been scheduled for a long time. the mumu self no go think before he takes advise . instead of him to look for ways to deliver on his promises like ACN governors are doing he is busy playing politics with his time. I pity this country with the quality of leaders we have.

Geomac: ACN should postpone their convention.

MAYOWAAK: STATEMENT BY THE SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT TO THE PRESIDENT(PUBLI­C AFFAIRS) DR. DOYIN OKUPE ON THE STATEMENT BY THE ACTION CONGRESS OF NIGERIA’S NATIONAL PUBLICITY SECRETARY, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED CALLING ON LAGOS STATE GOVERNOR, BABATUNDE RAJI FASHOLA TO PREVENT PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN FROM VISITING LAGOS
Our attention has been drawn to the unfortunate and irresponsible comments of Alhaji Lai Mohammed, National Publicity Secretary of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in respect of President Goodluck Jonathan’s impending visit to Lagos.
Lai Mohammed is obviously misguided and mischievous in his disposition. It is difficult to understand or explain how he expects Governor Babatunde Fashola to control or obstruct the movement of President Jonathan, the President and Commander -in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
It is obvious that Alhaji Lai Mohammed does not have the least of understanding of the workings of government or official protocol. The insult to the president of the nation who is the symbol of our collective sovereignty as contained in his letter to Governor Fashola is obviously a product of a warped mind that is equally evil and unprogressived.
We have always known that Alhaji Mohammed is not fit to be a national officer of a decent political party as evinced by the outbursts and vituperations that emit from his shallow mind.
We know for a fact that Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola is of higher breed with proper upbringing and will not descend to the level of debased political wretchedness to which Alhaji Mohammed belongs.
We wish to state categorically that the President’s visit to Lagos cannot in any way affect the proceedings of the ACN convention or its proposed merger with other parties. Such thinking can only come from a mind intent on making mischief and raising false alarm as usual just in order to score cheap political points and heat up the polity unnecessarily.
Nigerians must now know Alhaji Mohammed for what he is: a confusionist, scaremonger and a debased politician with a belly full of deceit, mischief and treachery.

Signed:

OMO, see punchline.

Monimatic: LIAR Mohammed again.

ACN park well, how can you compel a governor to compel a president not to perform his official duties because of a convention that will be filled with thugs.

President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, is going to Commission Wempco Steel Mills Ltd located at KM 8, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The coming to Lagos of the President has been planned in his itinerary since last year.

So why all the fear, noise and signature propaganda by the ACN and it's supporters, when they were fully aware ahead of time, that the president will be coming to Lagos for official duty.

What are they afraid of, since they claim, they are a viable opposition party and they are the ruling party in Lagos State and the South West, then they should go on with their convention without generating issues where they are no issues.
Why are they afraid of GOODLUCK JONATHAN's presence in Lagos?

We all know the president is incompetent and unreliable, but that doesn't mean the ACN and their cohorts should use their media propaganda to brainwash and create false hood regarding anything the President does.

To be a responsible opposition, that will bring change to this country, the ACN should be practise CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM and not DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM.

DISCLAIMER:
I am not a President Jonathan Supporter, neither i am a Tinubu Supporter or a Buhari Supporter, and i do not belong to any political party, the views expressed here,are my personal opinion, I SAY THINGS, THE WAY THINGS ARE, NO SENTIMENT OR POLITICAL UNDERTONE ATTACHED.

elkol: GEJ is the undisputed Oga at the top!!!
1st to comment again... Thank You Allah!!!

naptu2:

The merger must be approved by a convention of each of the merging parties.

hillsate: All i can see is a crop of naive nairalanders here.
The presidency has been scared since the day merger of paries was announced.
The president knows that he stands no chance of winning elections once the merger is signed and sealed.
One of the requirement for the parties to merge, is for the separate parties to each hold a convention.
The convention is what ACN is trying to hold. Gej and hid advisers are trying to scuttle the convention because ACN is the backbone of the APC merger. Why must a mere commissioning of a company be attended by GEJ? GEJ knows that his visit to lagos will paralyse movement in lagos which will consequently affect the attendance of the convention by ACN members. GEJ's coming to lagos on the day of ACN convention is not a coincidence, but a deliberate action to scuttle ACN convention.
The responses by the presidency from the two attack dogs, Abati and Okupe clealy confrims this.

tonypadua05: Look this is a stupid issue raised by ACN! The President has a right to visit any where any time in this country.

abusol: His wife is coming to Eko Hotel tomorrow for different event. why?

dammytosh:

Helicopter is not safe for the president ok ?

There are several buildings where an anti rocket launcher can be launched from in Lagos.

The safest means for him from the airport is simply by ROAD.
