2015: We’ve Not Found An Alternative To Jonathan, Says Gulak

No Comments
The Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Ahmad Gulak has declared that all over Nigeria, there is no alternative to Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, as the country approaches the 2015 general election.

Gulak said members of the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, were noise-makers, who are desperate to hold power, but they will not succeed.

The presidential aide, who is the National Coordinator of Goodluck Support Group (GSG), in a statement at the weekend, further called on the international community to ignore what he described as 'noisy propaganda sponsored' in the press by the opposition.

He spoke at an award ceremony for eminent women by the Global Connections for Women Foundation to mark the 2014 International Women's Day at Havard Club, New York, United States of America.

Gulak said: "We have searched from the West, East, North and the south, for today, as I speak with you, we have not found an alternative to Goodluck Jonathan. What you get to hear in the press is the work of the opposition who are desperate to hold power and definitely they are not going to be an alternative to this present administration.

"We have seen what some of them had done in the past and we are still seeing what they are doing.  Nigeria under President Goodluck Jonathan is progressing. We are developing", Gulak said.

He called for greater support from global super powers in the fight against terrorism on the African continent.

"We are still groaning or complaining or condemning what happened during the first and Second World War. The effects are still with us. In Africa, the insurgencies in Africa, the terrorism in Africa would not have been possible without the proliferation of small arms and ammunition.

"And the small arms and ammunition are manufactured and delivered through the super powers. If they really want to help Africa, then this area is key", he opined.

Gulak noted that "The security challenges are global phenomenon. We challenge our women because this campaign, if driven by women, we believe we would overcome it. Today is the challenge we are throwing to the women to take the campaign, to take the lead and address issues either public or in the bed room with their husband".

Responding, the chairperson of GC4W, Chief Temitope Ajayi noted that women are engines of growth.

According to her, the present administration has offered great opportunities for women advancement and contribution to societal growth and national development.

She, therefore, called on Nigerians to give more support to President Jonathan as he continues in his giant strides to advance the country, even as she advocated that more women be given more opportunities to contribute to the political leadership of the country
