The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on
Political Matters, Ahmed Gulak, has cautioned Nigerians against vilifying his
boss for the many crises bedeviling the country, saying they were not his
creation.
Gulak, who made the submission while receiving a delegation
of the youth wing of the National Coalition for Jonathan/Sambo Presidency
(NACOJSP) in his Abuja office, said the president is doing his best to surmount
the crises he inherited.
“Jonathan inherited many of the challenges our country is
facing. The insurgency in many parts of this country, the militancy and
kidnapping were crises that this government met on ground,” he said.
Rather than heaping blames on the President, Gulak opined
that Nigerians should praise his administration for the achievements it has
been able to make despite the challenges.
He said that the establishment of Almajiri schools in the
Northern part of the country would help in addressing the Boko Haram insurgency,
adding that government has demonstrated commitment to reducing all the national
challenges to the barest minimum.
“This government has invested in our rail and power sectors
as well as in building the necessary infrastructure to make our youths
productive and give them a sense of fulfillment.
``His government has conceded to the yearnings of Nigerians
for an avenue to seat and discuss our common nation-building challenges by convening
the National conference,’’ he said.
In his remarks, the National Patron of NACOJSP, Benjamin
Irikefe, charged the government to explore the strength and potency of youth in
the country to bring about peace and tranquility.
