Congress for Progressives Change ,CPC,on Sunday described the three years of Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidency as a dismal failure, lamenting that the President was more interested in being re-elected in 2015 than working for Nigerians.
In a statement in Abuja by its National Publicity Secretary, Rotimi Fashakni, the party noted that the performance of Jonathan on the economy, security, education, youth employment, foreign relations and infrastructural development “is nothing to write home about.”
The CPC noted, that “On May 29, 2013, Dr Goodluck Jonathan’s tenure as elected President will be two years, aside the added unfinished term of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. The time is propitious, therefore, it is important to take a retrospective look at the last three years of political governance of the nation.
“The performance score-card on the economy, security, education, youth employment, foreign relations and infrastructural development reveals overall dismal failure.
CPC lamented that in the education sector, Nigerian students have recorded failure in Mathematics and English more than in any other time in the nation’s history.
“In the 2013 appropriation law, the allocation of N426.53 billion to the sector takes only 8.67 per cent of the total budget of N4.92 trillion, whereas the UNESCO recommended for the allocation of 26 per cent of the total budget to the sector which is very vital to national developmen”. The party said.
It further said that rather than ensuring proper funding for the nation’s universities, the Jonathan regime preferred the vain-glorious political revelry of setting up nine new universities it had no desire to fund.
