President Goodluck Jonathan declared, yesterday, that he is
presently preoccupied with serious governance and warned politicians not to
distract him with politics of 2015, saying the next general elections in year
2015 was still three years away.
The president, who spoke, yesterday, in Lagos through his
Senior Special Adviser on Research, Documentation and Strategy, Mr. Oronto
Douglas, at a media presentation of a book entitled Sure and Steady
Transformation, said his main focus was to keep his promises to Nigerians which
are already being witnessed across the country with the improvement in the
power sector.
The 155-page book documents the numerous achievements of
President Jonathan’s administration in first one year in office.
The President said the warning had become necessary given
the preponderance of reports and comments on the 2015 election in national
newspapers and other media channels.
He said in politics, 24 hours is a long time, and wondered
why politicians are already talking about 2015 that is three whole years away.
He said: “There seems to be too much politics in Nigeria
than governance. In other democracies, politics stops at the end of an
election, and governance starts. But in Nigeria, it is the opposite.”
Politics will not put food on the table of the people. It is
governance that will. Let us focus on governance.”
He advised Nigerians not to allow politicians distract them
with talk about 2015 election, and focus on sincere assessment of his
administration’s Transformation Agenda, which achievements in the last one year
are documented in the book, and a website,
www.sureandsteadytransformation.gov.ng.
