Former President Goodluck Jonathan Accuses APC Led Federal Government of Propaganda

     Former President Goodluck Jonathan has alleged that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari is characterised by propaganda.

   Jonathan spoke in Abuja when he received one of the national chairmanship aspirants of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Professor Tunde Adeniran, and members of his campaign team in his office.

   Jonathan said the solidarity being enjoyed by the party even though it lost election at the centre in 2015 showed that there is something in the PDP. While pledging to speak-up some day on the achievements of the PDP in its 16 years in power, the former President took a swipe at the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Babatunde Fashola SAN, who as a state governor reportedly said that a serious government at the centre must be able to fix power within six months but, observed that more than two years of the APC Federal Government, to which Fashola belongs as a minister, the government had not been able to fix the power situation in the country.

   Meanwhile in his response Babatunde Fashola, who spoke through his Senior Special Adviser on Communications, Hakeem Bello, stated that it was unfortunate that Jonathan would accuse the current government of not doing enough in the power sector, adding that there was nowhere that the current Minister of Power, Works and Housing and former Governor of Lagos State said he could fix Nigeria’s power challenges in six months.
