Jonathan has no clear agenda for Nigeria – ACN Chieftain

A chieftain of Action Congress of Nigeria  in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has declared that from every indication, President Goodluck Jonathan had no clear agenda and vision for Nigeria.

This is even as he assured that most members of the Peoples Democratic Party, including those in the nation’s Senate and House of Representatives, would decamp to All Progressives Congress, APC, once the party was pronounced.

“I will assure you that once the APC is pronounced, you will see massive defection from the PDP,  massive defection from the ward to the local government, to the state House of Assembly and even some serving executive members of this state, you will see massive defections all the way to the Senate and House of Representatives,” he stated.

Nwoye, who was the Action Congress of Nigeria candidate in the 2011 Senatorial Election in Enugu East , noted that Nigeria had been facing all forms of political and economic instability as well as insecurity because the President lacked ideas that would enable the Federal Government tackle the numerous challenges.

He, therefore, pointed out that Nigeria could no longer continue in current mess occasioned by bad governance and called on all progressives and true democrats to embrace the proposed All Progressive Congress.

Nwoye, a renowned human rights lawyer, spoke to newsmen shortly after the Enugu State Congress of the party, which was observed by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and which produced Barrister Barth Ugwoke as the Enugu State chairman of ACN, while Barrister Uche Ogbu emerged as secretary.

He accused the Federal Government of deliberate plans to deny people their freedom of speech through its recent alleged plans to embark on surveillance of phone calls.

Reacting to money approved by the Federal Government for the victims of the violence that erupted after the 2011 general elections, the ACN chieftain stated that PDP was afraid of the next election, hence its decision to approve the money two years after the violence.
