Jonathan Replies Kwankwaso, You Are An Incompetent And Clueless Presidential Aspirant

President Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday lambasted the Kano
State Governor, Musa Kwankwaso, saying he is a political “gambler” who is
hallucinating about becoming Nigeria’s president.

The president, who spoke to Premium Times through his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ruben Abati, was responding to
criticisms by Mr. Kwankwaso that the president lacked the capacity to serve as
commander in-chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces.

The governor, who is a presidential aspirant on the platform
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had during his campaign fund launch in
Abuja on Saturday made scathing remarks about the Presidency.

He urged APC faithful and Nigerians to vote for the right
person to replace Mr. Jonathan, who he accused of failing to secure the lives
and property of the citizenry.

But responding, Mr. Jonathan said the Kano State governor is
an incompetent and clueless presidential aspirant.

“The point must be made very clearly that the kind of
comment Governor Kwankwaso made at an occasion where he was doing a fund raiser
for his gamble to become the presidential candidate of the APC shows that he is
a very incompetent and a clues presidential aspirant,” said Mr. Abati.

“One would have expected that at an occasion where he was
raising funds to promote his gamble to become the presidential flag bearer of
the APC, he would project himself as a man who has a vision and an agenda for
moving Nigeria forward.

“Instead, what he has done at every turn in this his new
found gamble and hallucinatory ambition to become the president of Nigeria is
to rundown President Jonathan at every opportunity,” Abati said.
