The Presidency said, Sunday, that the opposition party, All Progressives Congress, APC, is destined to sink in 2015 as it parades all those who constitute Nigeria’s problems.
Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, who addressed a press conference, Sunday, in Lagos on the achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, said the government was not bothered about the chances of the opposition in 2015.
He said: “We are unperturbed by the parade of so-called political giants by the opposition. I have said it before that APC cannot stand unless they fish in PDP waters.
“But the APC boat is bound to sink because it is a collection of the problems of Nigeria.
“How else do you want God to save Nigeria if all those who are the problems of the country are not packed in one boat and the boat sink under their weight?
“When we went to Israel, we prayed that all those who are the problems of Nigeria should all perish and this is how our prayer will be answered.”
Okupe said though critics have continued to lampoon the President, his administration is keeping faith with the transformation pact he had with Nigerians.
He said the Federal Government has been able to, among other things, “bridge infrastructural gap for economic growth and wealth creation, optimise sources of growth to increase productivity and competitiveness; build a productive, competitive and functional human resource base for economic growth and social advancement and develop a knowledge-based economy.”
He said President Jonathan “is conscious of his pact with the people and will not deviate from the spirit and letters of his social contract as encapsulated in the transformation agenda as he is determined to continue to serve the Nigeria people conscientiously, diligently and accountably.”
He added that the President Jonathan-led administration has “improved governance, security, law and order and also engendering more efficient and effective use of resources and promoting social harmony as well as providing a conducive environment for growing the economy.”
