APC’s invitation shows Jonathan’s best man for the job – Presidency

The Presidency, Wednesday, said the invitation by the All Progressive Congress to President Goodluck Jonathan to join their party was a clear indication that Jonathan was the best man for the job of leading this country.


Reacting to  the Tuesday invitation extended to President Goodluck by the APC to president Jonathan to join the newly-registered All Progressives Congress, the special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati said the invitation was  “an acknowledgment of Jonathan’s sterling leadership qualities”.

According to him, the invitation was a compliment to the president’s leadership qualities which even the opposition had acknowledge that Jonathan is the best man for the job at present.

While jettisoning the possibility of the president taking up the offer, Dr Abati lampooned the opposition party for  forming a party only to realise later that they do not have a credible candidate.

“I think it (the APC’s invitation) is a compliment. What Chief Akande has said in essence is that President Jonathan is the best man for the job.

“They formed a party only to realise they don’t have a candidate. We thank him for his acknowledgment of the President’s leadership qualities, but he (the President) is happy where he is.

“We thank Chief Akande for his expression of confidence in President Jonathan’s credibility but the President is happy where he is, as a member and leader of the PDP to which he remains loyal, and under the umbrella of which he is leading a transformation agenda for the betterment of the lives of Nigerians” he said.
