I Am The Most Criticised President In The World – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has promised to prove his critics wrong in 2013 when the dividends of new policies introduced begin to manifest. Jonathan has been heavily criticized since he resumed position as the president of the country. Speaking at the 52nd Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association
in Abuja, Jonathan declares the results at the end would change the hearts of Nigerians towards him. “I think I am then most criticised president in the whole world, but I tell this noble audience that before I leave, I will also be the most praised president. “I have experienced that before in my governor journey in Bayelsa state. In fact, people who were close to me will tell you that even after the election, I told them that in my first 12 months please cover your ears because you will hear all kinds of things. But as we progress, you will see (changes). “We are working very hard to stabilise power. We are working very hard to resurface our roads. We have security challenges, which we are also working very hard to bring to reasonable control. “It is not easy; we don’t have the magic wand, except the miracle worker that with the wave of the hand, probably will help to throw all these challenges away and prosperity will appear. But in pure governance issues, it takes time. “Sometimes, even people who have held offices in government criticise me to the extent of personal abuses. Sometimes I ask, were there roads across in the country and Jonathan brought flood to wipe out these roads? or we had power and I brought hurricane to break down the entire infrastructure? “If they say Boko Haram is because of poverty; were there massive irrigation projects in the North where agriculture can thrive and massive farms, and Jonathan brought drought to wipe out these farms? under two years is it possible? Well, time will tell. What I can tell Nigerians is that let those who criticize continue to criticise. “We will do our best and as we progress, Nigerians will know the truth and we’ll see that we are committed and will surely transform this country,” he said.
