Jonathan’s Government Is One Run On Lies, Says Fani Kayode

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has descended on
Special Adviser to the President on political matters, Dr. Ali Gulak,
who he labeled a "liarfor the president," just as healso targeted the
Goodluck Jonathan administration which he said is run on the "wheels
of lies."
Fani-Kayode, who made these comments in response to the statement
credited to Gulak where he described the former minister as "an
attacker of any government in power", said, "I call the government of
Goodluck Jonathan a failure; if the president thinks I am wrong, let
him orone of his cerebral ministersrespond to me, not Gulak. Who is
Gulak? I don't trade words with minions."
Fani-Kayode in a statement issued yesterday said: "Gulak said I
attacked Obasanjo's government, a government and president that I
proudly served and that I have defended for the last 10 years of my
life. "Please, let him provide the evidence of that attack on
Obasanjo's policies, record in public office and performance in
governmentbetween 2003 and 2013 or he should forever shut his mouth
and be damned. He cannot do so because it never happened. What he said
is false. He is a liar."
Imploring Nigerians to do allwithin their means to vote out the
present administration in 2015, Fani-Kayode added,"Jonathan's
government is a government of lies that is run and supported by liars
and we need to get them out in 2015 in order to save Nigeria.
"People just don't realise how bad things are. Recently, a UNESCO
survey placed Nigeria on top of the list of nations with out-of-school
children – 10.5millionof them – because they lacked access to
classrooms and have to take lessons under trees.
"Why should we be ranked with nations like Pakistan (5.4 million),
Ethiopia (1.7 million), India (1.6 million) and the Philippines (1.5
million), when we have so much oil wealth."
The former aviation ministeralso berated the present administration
for doing nothing tangible to better the lot of Nigerians despite "all
our oil wealth and all the money that has accrued to the Federal
Government in the last 5 years."
He noted that 80 per cent of Nigerian graduates are now unemployed and
that 70 percent of the Nigerian people are living below the
povertyline and, according to the United Nations, are "hungry".
He further stated that "Abusing Fani-Kayode will not change any of
those facts or improve their imageand abysmal performance. They should
stick to the relevant issues and provide better governance for the
Nigerian people for the last two years that they will remain in power,
rather than spending their time on me."
