Speaking with traditional rulers in Kogi State before the
presidential rally in Lokoja, President Jonathan said most governments
worldwide perform better during the second term of their administrations.
According to the president, public office holders perform better
during their second term because they have enough time to settle down and plan
quickly.
He said: “Whatever we have done in the last four years, we
believe that we will even do more in the next four years. Most governments all over the
world do better in their second tenure.
“This is because the Presidents are more stable that time,
especially in this two-term arrangement. They sit down and plan for the country
and focus on key areas.”
The president told the traditional rulers that his administration
would pay greater attention to the Ajaokuta Steel Company of Nigeria and ensure
that the steel is included in the nation’s rail system if he is re-elected.
Addressing a rally later at the 25,000 sitting capacity
Confluence Stadium, Lokoja, President Jonathan said he had fulfilled his
electoral promises to Nigeria
The President listed Ajaokuta Steel Company, Iron ore, steel
sector, agriculture, sports and Nollywood as areas he had delivered in the last
four years.
According to him, the promise to revamp Ajaokuta steel has
yielded positive result and that in a short while investors will be asked to bid for the steel company in order to
commence full manufacturing activities.
Said he: “I have fulfilled my electioneering promises to the
country. One of such promises is the Ajaokuta Steel Company, which we first
started with by putting in a vibrant management team.”
