Nollywood Star, Ex-Militant Pass Vote Of Confidence On Jonathan
In spite of the fact that
many Nigerians scored President Goodluck Jonathan administration low in terms of development, some still believe that he performed beyond average.
President Jonathan, in his campaign visit to Rivers State, on Wednesday last week, said he is the president of Nigeria and not Niger Delta.
A Nigerian Nollywood film actor, Emeka Ike, believes that the President has the credentials and potentials to make the country one of the economic powers in the world.
Ike who said he is not a card carrying member of any political party in Nigeria, said with a critical look at the president’s developmental plans, he falls in line with those who said Jonathan deserved a second term.
“Without bias and sentiments, Jonathan has improved the country’s economy. It is a thing of joy that Nigeria is currently ranked the third fastest growing economy in world, after China and Qater, Ike said.
The Nollywood actor argued that apart from refurbishing the moribund railway system in the country, Jonathan’s government has also increased the number of airports.
“Honestly, I am not taking any side, what we need is development, elite and purposeful leadership. When you talk about corruption is subjective, and we cannot fight corruption with gun, rather through process,” he stated.
In his own view, the leader of the Niger Delta Vigilante, Comrade Ateke Tom, also said Jonathan deserved second term considering what he has done.
He explained that the president is a peace loving man who does not take laws into his hands, adding; however that election is not a do or die affairs.
