Peoples Democractic Party Crisis: Give Jonathan, Tukur A Chance – Jaja

AS the crisis in the ruling People’s Democratic Party escalates, a prominent Ijaw leader, Dr. Reuben Mietamuno Jaja, has pleaded with those moving against President Gooluck Jonathan to sheath their sword and give the president and the National Chairman of the party, Bamanga Tukur, a chance to rebuild Nigeria.
.
Jaja, who is the former Chairman, Ijaw Foundation, the apex organization for the Ijaw in the Diaspora, noted with concern the current attempt by some aggrieved PDP members to split the party and distract the President from the transformation agenda he has been championing for the good of all Nigerians.

Jaja, who is also a one-time member of the Board of the African Business Roundtable (ABR), headed by Tukur, expressed dismay that despite the phenomenal achievements recorded by the Jonathan administration in the various sectors of the nation’s economy, his detractors within and outside the party were still bent on discrediting him and his administration for selfish political gains.

.
Stressing that Jonathan was not part of those who created these problems, but was doing his best to tackle them head on, Jaja said, “Critics need to step back, re-evaluate these phenomenal achievements by the administration within so short a time.
.
All that the Jonathan administration needs at this point in time, is the support of well-meaning Nigerians to enable him to steer the course and continue with the transformation agenda and reform processes.
