No Government Can Solve Nigeria’s Problems Within Four Years – Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has declared that no government could solve Nigeria’s problems within four years.

The President painted this gloomy picture on Monday when he paid a courtesy call on the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari in continuation of his re-election campaign.

He emphasised that beyond tackling the Boko Haram insurgency, his administration was addressing other challenges in several sectors of the economy, including creating jobs through diverse means, reports Daily Trust.

He said: “Beyond tackling the insurgency, we are creating road networks; we are moving faster in several sectors. There is no way within four years any government can finish the programmes of this country”.

The President’s declaration contrasted sharply with his previous remark over four years ago in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

Jonathan had while interacting with Nigerians in Addis-Ababa, in February 2011, promised that if voted in for the next four years, he would ensure significant improvement in power, especially.

He had said: “Without security, there is no government. So it is not debatable, it is something we have to address and we are working towards that with vigour.

“But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past.

“Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.”

Meanwhile, in Ilorin on Monday, Jonathan disclosed that the military would take delivery of additional equipment beginning this week as part of his administration’s efforts towards containing the Boko Haram insurgency.

He expressed optimism that this would enable the country to move faster in another two weeks in curtailing the insurgency.
