The All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to take the Interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande to court if he feels libelled by the comments he made describing the Jonathan administration as a kindergarten presidency.<\/p>\n

According to a statement issued on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said Chief Akande merely told the truth by his characterization of the Jonathan presidency.<\/p>\n

The party also said there was nothing strange or wrong in criticizing a democratically-elected President, after all he is neither an Imperial President, a Monarchy nor an Emperor<\/p>\n

APC said Chief Akande\u2019s assertion of the Jonathan led administration has been confirmed by the \u00a0crude manner it (presidency) responded to the frank but constructive criticism by the APC National Chairman.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the true character of this presidency, its increasingly irreverent and undignified spokesman failed to respond to the issues raised by Chief Akande, and instead chose to haul abuses at a man who is old enough to be his father. Such irresponsible act does no credit to the spokesman or the president he is serving, and Nigerians will definitely not forget such crudity in a hurry.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is the presidency\u2019s response to Chief Akande\u2019s assertion that he has written two letters to the President over the serious challenges facing the country, without getting a response? Where is the presidency\u2019s response to Chief Akande\u2019s assertion that President Jonathan is witch-hunting political opponents? These are the issues that Nigerians are interested in, not how many hours the President sleeps at night because he is supposedly working tirelessly.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn any case, if indeed this President is working tirelessly, we need to ask who he is working for, because Nigerians have yet to feel the impact of his administration. They are also not interested in the fact that the President once served as a deputy governor, governor and Vice President, because the experiences he supposedly garnered from doing so have not impacted positively on his duty as President. That\u2019s not a surprise, considering that the President owes his meteoric rise in politics to luck and destiny. Nothing else!\u201d the party said<\/p>\n
