E-X-P-O-S-E-D!!! Why Jonathan Will Not Be Voted For In 2015. February 14, 2015, Nigerians will heading to the polls to elect their President. The incumbent, Dr Goodluck Jonathan who has expressed interest to re-contest last week, has been described by some Nigerians as a failure as a result of the following points and his inability to touch lives of millions of Nigerians and improve our infrastructures in the last 4 years. ROAD (An Area Jonathan failed woefully). These are some of the completed and over 80% completed road project constructed by Jonathan in the last 4years. - Dualization of Maiduguri-Kano Road - Abuja-Lokoja Expressway. - Dualization of Vom-Manchok Road - Onitsha-Owerri Expressway. - Benin-Ore Expressway. - Ilorin-Jebba Road - Funtua-Gusau-Sokoto road - Enugu-Abakaliki-Ogoja-Mfun Highway. - Oturkpo-9th Mile and Odukpani-Itu - Lagos-Ibadan-Ilorin Highway. - Abakaliki-Mbok Road - Apakun/Oshodi-Murtala Mohammed International Airport Road. - Katsina-Daura Road in Katsina State. - Otukpa-Ayamgba-Ajaokuta-Lokoja Road. - Jebba-Lafiaji-Mokwa Road. - many others in various stages of completion. There are 35,000Km of Federal Roads. Goodluck Jonathan has constructed/rehabilitated over 30,000Km of Roads and still on going. As at today, about 85% of Nigerian roads have been fixed by President Jonathan, saving lives on roads, reducing time wasted on them and minimizing the cost of doing business. These are some of the reason Jonathan will not be re-elected in 2015. ECONOMIC MANAGEMENT. - At 7% GDP growth, Nigerias economy is one of the fastest growing in the world. - The UN Conference on Trade and Development has recently named Nigeria as No1 destination for investment in Africa, attracting over $8b in foreign direct investment (FDI). - Exchange rate has stabilised between N155 and N160 in the last 3 years. - Inflation rate now 8%. Down from 12.4% in 2011. - External reserve have reached $42.9billion. One of Nigerias highest, not minding that our sole product, oil has seen about 27% price reduction since June. -It takes only the geniuses to do this. - When you cut a tree, the leaves do not die immediately, so as the progress recorded in Nigerian economy. The impact on the lives of the man on the street will be coming gradually, as the 54 years rot cannot be cleared in 4 years. JOB CREATION. - The federal Government introduced the Integrated Financial Management and Information System has improved the acquisition, allocation, utilisation and conservation of public financial integrated, effective, efficient and economic information system. - Over N139.6 billion has been saved and about 50,000 ghost workers identified and a similar amount from detecting ghost pensioners. - Key government programmes focused on job creation include: 1. Community Service Scheme (SURE-P) to engage 320,000 youths in labour intensive work such as construction and rehabilitation of social and economic infrastructure. 2. Graduate Internship Scheme (SURE-P). The scheme has engaged competent firms to enhance skills development towards employability. Over 4,000 graduates have been matched so far. 3. YouWin... The business plan competition has successfully run two of its three cycles and is now in its third cycle. 26, 000 jobs have been directly created in different sectors of the economy. -. Over 12 Car Assembling and manufacturing plants, 8 Foreign energy Companies, 5 Energy related Companies, 12 health related companies, 7 Agro-Allied Firms that moved to Nigeria in the last 24 months. They will create over 3,800,000 direct Jobs and about 9Million multiplier effect employments across the country. - About 68 Road construction work are going on across the country, 11 major bridges, 8 Dams, 2,765 Health centres/Maternities, Rail line constructions spanning thousands of kilometre will create over 3.1Million Jobs in Nigeria. NOTE: You have a role to play for yourself. Google some of these companies. Send in your CV and dont wait the jobs to come into your room before you will make effort to apply for it. Majority of these companies are foreign and do not believe in Man-know-man. WAR ON CORRUPTION. The criticism of President Jonathan has been that he has not been serious in the fight against corruption. According to the President, his government refused to use the 1920s method of fighting corruption, as we saw during the military era and few years of past democratic governments. Modern and scientific approaches were employed by the administration in Instituting controls that will deter people from committing frauds, creating several levels of checks as seen in developed economies. **According to the President, it is only In Nigeria that a Ghost worker will retire and become a ghost pensioner. Instead of wasting our scarce resources finding and prosecuting these fat cat billionaires, that have perfected their acts since the 1960s, the President instituted controls to ensure that the practise is checkmated and Never to happen again. **A Biometric system was deployed in Federal ministries that reveal that over 48% of our Pensioners are ghost workers. About 43% of our pensioners are ghost pensioners. They same exercise in the former PHCN also revealed that over 50% of their staff are ghost employees. **Since Independence, Fertilizer distribution has been Gods gift to Party leaders and supporters with the help from villages heads. This has made it near to impossible for real farmers to get these goods or buying them at affordable price. Jonathan through his Agric Minister, compiled an electronic database of real farmers. Bought mobile phones, where technical Agricultural information are sent to them from experts and nearly 75% discounts Fertilizer Vouchers, cheap/freed seeds text to them without any influence from anyone. This exercise cut off the middlemen and party faithfuls who made fertilizer a scarce commodity and tripled the prices in the past. **No military approach or noise making will achieve this, but technology and common sense said enough is enough. **The issue of abandoned projects is now a History topic in Nigeria under President Jonathan. Contractors are paid on Pay-As-You-Have-Completed. If a contractor completed 20% of the Project, he will be paid 20% of his contract value and if he stops work, Nigerians will not lose anything, as we can re-award the project to another person without a fight. **Those party faithfuls, legislature, Ministers, Advisers that feed on 5%, 10% of Contracts, has technically been cut of, as Pay-As-You-Have-Completed, will not give the contractor room to pay anyone any amount until the projected is fully completed. **On the over 30 Petrol and Kerosene suppliers that were indicted in 2011/2012 for abusing the subsidies rebate, as at this day, no one cared any more about what happened to the Billions they stole from us. The President cool policy of Pay-Up-Or-Lose-Your-Licence, compelled about 85% of them to return these funds with ease. **Common sense is no longer common. The President is certain that with our legal system, these Oil Markers will pay the best lawyers to win the case against the government, but an intelligent approach recovered chunk of these funds back to the federation account.

Criticize Jonathan with facts, dont judge with hate or generational failure of our past leaders. A Kanuri proverb said that if you thank the cook very well, he will deliver more delicious meals.
