100 days: ACN declares Jonathan’s administration a failure

The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), at the weekend, berated the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, noting that the government had failed to put anything on the ground to suggest its capacity to transform Nigeria.
The opposition party said although 100 days might be too short to assess any administration,  there had been little or nothing in the first 100 days of the President Jonathan's administration to convince anyone that Jonathan could, indeed, transform Nigeria as he had promised.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by  the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, ACN said events of the first 100 days of the Jonathan administration had been akin to building a structure on sand rather than on rock, adding that such a structure would not endure.
It said the only 'achievement that had stuck out like a sore thumb in the administration's first 100 days was the poorly thought out and ill-advised single tenure kite being flown by the president.
“In his inaugural speech, the president exhorted Nigerians to 'look beyond the hardship you have endured. See a new beginning; a new direction; a new spirit'. Unfortunately, the president's unsteady gait as well as his trade mark indecision on critical issues in the past 100 days do not point to a new spirit or a new beginning. They point to a return to the same old raggedly path that brought Nigeria to this sorry pass,'' the statement said.
