Respect Your Old Age Jonathan Warns Akande; Calls APC Armoured Personnel Carrier



Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati has replied the Acting National Chairman of APC Chief Bisi Akande over the latter calling the President Jonathan a kindergarten Leader.

Please read the abridged version of the press release signed by Abati.

The interim national chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande sank to a new low in this regard yesterday when he rudely and falsely described President Jonathan as a “kindergarten” leader who treats national issues with levity.

We urge Chief Akande and his fellow-travellers to remember that there are laws against libel and defamation of character in this country even if there are no legal impediments to indecorous, hypocritical and unpatriotic vituperations.


It is certainly rude, ill-mannered, uncharitable and hypocritical for Chief Akande to falsely and cavalierly allege that a President who toils tirelessly every day of the week, evolving and implementing workable solutions to Nigeria’s problems, is handling national issues with levity.


It is clear that the APC is seeking to bait the Presidency to respond to it to achieve two purposes. The first purpose is to get their name into the press and gain name recognition for their party. How pathetic. The second and more important reason is to divert the attention of the public from the festering feud between Muhammadu Buhari and Bola Tinubu over the overriding ambition of the two men which is threatening to tear the new contraption which is mistakenly referred to by the gullible as a party.

To the discerning, it is only a matter of time before ambition sinks the APC boat. It is only 2013 and already the big masquerades in the party are using undemocratic words like "must", "nobody can stop" and other military terms in discussing their presidential ticket.

 Our advice to the APC is this: treat your party like a democratic association and don't mistake it for the Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) that someone used to force his way to power.
