He declared: “He is the only President who came to serve Nigeria and who thinks with a vision and a mission – a doctorate degree holder; somebody who has been tested; somebody that served at various levels of government, from the teaching profession to Deputy Governorship, to Governorship, to Vice Presidency and today the President. There can’t be any better person that can lead this country”.
The FCT Minister stated that those of them who are working with President Jonathan “have come to appreciate what is called the new face of leadership; the new Nigerianness; the new nationalism where people are drafted into various positions not because of sentiment… but because we are connected by this umbilical cord called Nigeria and that is why we see him as somebody who is a transformer”.
He said that the Jonathan leadership has succeeded in conquering all the differences and prejudices that we used to have adding that today every young man and woman in Nigeria can aspire to actualize his aspiration to any level.
