APC Unhappy Over Jonathan’s Success on Boko Haram – Fani Kayode

Director of media and publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, said yesterday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not happy with the success of the nation’s military and the federal government in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgents.

Fani-Kayode, in a statement he issued in Abuja, said “what is really giving the APC a headache is their failed expectation that President Jonathan’s government would be unable to subdue the deadly activities of the Boko Haram insurgents in the North-eastern part of the country.

“The APC had field days attacking the government on the issue of insurgency, hardly aware of the determination of our presidential candidate, President Jonathan, to end the problem once and for all.

“So far, the Nigerian military, in collaboration with the West African forces, had been recording unprecedented success in the campaign against Boko Haram insurgents.

“The military has turned up surprises in their anti-Boko Haram campaigns so far with the ability to recover all the territories hitherto lost to the insurgents in Adamawa and Yobe, with only a few communities more to recover in Borno State.”

Fani-Kayode accused the APC of planning to hire foreign journalists and procure the services of foreign media houses to discredit and disparage the achievements of the military and the federal government under President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said, “This is to bring to the notice of the good people of Nigerians that the APC is now engaged in a last minute effort to hire foreign writers to discredit and disparage the government of President Goodluck Jonathan and the achievements he has so far recorded as we march towards March 28 presidential election.

“It has always been the stock in trade of the APC to run to the international media for support after failing to convince Nigerians that it has the credibility and capacity to withstand our presidential candidate in the coming election.

“Past efforts by the APC to use the international media against our president had failed and will continue to collapse like a pack of cards. (Leadership)
