Jonathan’s conduct unpresidential, says South East APC The leadership of All Progressives Congress, (APC) in the South East has reacted to the tirades directed at the party by President Goodluck Jonathan during the recent ‘Unity Rally’ in Enugu, saying that the rally exposed the president’s desperation for re-election in 2015. APC South East contended that “President Jonathan’s verbal attack on the party in Enugu gave him out as one obsessed with do-or-die politics in his bid for second term adding that Mr. President was “uncouth in his speech and unpresidential, (even as) it showcases a desperate president in his quest for a second term.” While dismissing President Jonathan’s claim that the APC was progressing nowhere in particular but to hell and that PDP was the only truly democratic party in Nigeria, the party, through its South East spokesman, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, queried: “How can a president throw caution to the winds, mount the rostrum only to cast aspersions on our great party, the APC? It means he has not found time to read the manifesto of the APC, which has war against corruption as the first cardinal programme. A war Jonathan detests.” Okechukwu, who spoke to New Telegraph in Enugu shortly after his election as a national delegate from the Udi Local Government Congress of the party held at the weekend recalled how penultimate week, during the North East zonal rally in Bauchi State, the president evaded giving account of his efforts at combating the Boko Haram insurgency and resorted to blame games, insults and invectives.
