Jonathan out of tune with situation in Nigeria , says ACN

The Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN,  said the comments made by President Goodluck Jonathan during his maiden Media Chat on Monday have shown that he is largely out of tune with the situation in Nigeria.
In a statement  in Lagos , Tuesday,  by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party described as patently superficial and devoid of deep understanding of issues the President’s comments on such issues as the single-tenure proposal, the Jos crisis and the National Sovereign Conference, just to mention a few.

”When the President of a nation talks, citizens must take something concrete away from it. Sadly, that cannot be said of our President’s Maiden Chat on Monday,” it said.
ACN said, for example, that since sovereignty derives from the people, the President should not be oblivious, or even pretend to be, to the preponderance of the people’s opinion against the single-tenure kite which he is flying.
”Saying he has no regret and indicating he will push forward with the ill-advised single-tenure proposal, even at the expense of more pressing national problems of insecurity and lack of economic development, shows he is not in tune with the same people who voted him into office.
”Failing to tell Nigerians how his administration will ameliorate the serious problems of infrastructural decay is a blunder.
Missing the opportunity to comment on the fate of Nigerians who are being arrested, detained and killed in Libya by the transitional authorities which his administration has recognised is a serious error of judgement,” the party said.
