2015: No Alternative to Jonathan - Gulak

The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Political Matters, Bar. Ahmad Gulak, has said that despite vociferous noise by the opposition, Nigerians are not yet convinced there's  an alternative to his boss.
According to a statement by Goodluck Support Group (GSG), which Gulak is the national coordinator, the presidential aide urged the international community to ignore the noisy propaganda sponsored in  the press by the opposition.
Gulak spoke at an award ceremony for eminent women by the Global Connections for Women Foundation to mark the 2014 International Women’s Day  at Havard Club, New York, United States of America.
“We have searched from the West, East, North and the south, for today, as I speak with you, we have not found an alternative to Goodluck Jonathan.  What  you get to hear in the press is the work of the opposition who are desperate to hold power and definitely they are not going to be an alternative to this present administration.
“We have seen what some  of them had done in the past and we are still seeing what they are doing.  Nigeria under  President Goodluck Jonathan is progressing.  We are developing,” Gulak said.
Speaking further Gulak called for greater support from global super powers in the  fight against terrorism.
“We are still groaning or complaining or condemning what happened during the first and second world war. The effects are still with us.
“In Africa, the insurgencies in Africa, the terrorism in Africa would not have been possible without the proliferation of small arms and ammunition. And the small arms and ammunition are manufactured and delivered through the super powers. If they really want to help Africa,  then this area is key, ” he noted.
In the same vein, the President said, “The security challenges are global phenomenon. We challenge our women because this campaign, if driven by women, we believe we would overcome it. Today is the challenge we are throwing to the women to take the campaign, to take the lead and address issues either public or  in the bed room with their husband.”
Responding, the chairperson of GC4W, Chief Temitope Ajayi said women are engines of growth. She stated that the Jonathan’s administration had offered great opportunities for women advancement and contribution to societal growth and national development.
She pleaded with Nigerians to give more support to Jonathan in his giant strides to advance the Nigeria.
She said women should be given more opportunity to contribute to the political leadership of the country. Ajayi said such women as  a governorship candidate in Delta State, Mrs. Ngozi Olejeme and many other women should be  allowed to bring their managerial and administrative acumen to state matters  and other political positions.
