Jonathan is a war time President –Aide

The Special Adviser to the President on the Niger Delta, Kingsley Kuku, has described  President Goodluck Jonathan as a war-time President saddled with security challenges imposed on him by the “tardiness of his  predecessors.”

Kuku said this at a media briefing, in Lagos on Saturday.

He expressed regret that a majority of Nigerians were yet to fully appreciate the enormity of the challenges inherited by the President and efforts he was making to address them.

Kuku said an overwhelming majority of Nigerians grossly underrate what Jonathan had been going through since he assumed office as the President.

He said, “It will not be an exaggeration to assert that this President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a wartime President who is saddled with security challenges that were planted, watered and nurtured by the ineptitude and tardiness of successive past leaderships in this country both at the federal and state levels.
