Morocco: Jonathan An Exporter Of Conflict- Buhari

After destroying the communal relationships among Nigerians and tore them along ethno-religious and sectional lines, President Goodluck Jonathan is now taking the habits across the shores of the country, the Buhari campaign office has said.
The spokesperson of Buhari campaign Malam Garba Shehu said in a press conference on Thursday that Jonathan has once again dragged the country’s image in the mud, by lying that he spoke on telephone with the King of Morocco whereas he didn’t.

He said the diplomatic spat between Nigeria and Morocco was the outcome of Jonathan administration’s poor grasp of diplomatic relations which has been eroding the country’s image before other countries. “President Jonathan has once again dragged our country into the theatre of the absurd, making a mockery of his office through the current embarrassing debacle with the King of Morocco over a purported telephone conversation,” he said. Shehu added that “this is just the latest in a series of diplomatic faux pas.”

He said it was ridiculous for the Nigerians president to stoop too low to the point of lying against the head of state of another country just to achieve a political goal. He said “Jonathan is destroying international relationships that existed before his tenure. He has already earned the scorn of other world leaders, such as (President Barak) Obama, through his poor human rights record.”

The campaign spokesperson said Jonathan has succeeded in reversing the past successes of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). “Not only has he bound the EFCC from doing its job, Mr. Jonathan has also reversed some previous achievements of the commission by granting state pardon to erstwhile government officials whom it had uncovered as guilty of corruption,” he said. “To make matters worse, at present the EFCC itself is in turmoil. Its chairman is accused by staff of corruption. The commission's staff are also being owed salaries and entitlements, having not been paid for three months,” Shehu said.

The campaign also accused Jonathan's government of slashing the Ministry of Works' budget by 89 percent. “This forces us to wonder: Who was the intended recipient of the unnecessary, extra 89 percent? Into whose pockets were the superfluous millions intended? And if indeed the 89 percent was essential to the effective functioning of the ministry, is the reduction just an attempt by the PDP government to punish Nigerians for asking for change?” he asked.
