Polls shift: Onuesoke warns against attacks on Jonathan

A Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain in Delta State, Chief Sunny Onuesoke, has warned critics to desist from vituperations against President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that despite the name calling, the President has performed better than most of those attacking him.

Onuesoke, who addressed a group of Urhobo residents in Ajegunle, Lagos, said critics must stop attacking the person of the President because it was undemocratic, uncivilised and immature for anyone to point fingers at Mr. President.

He pointed out that it was wrong for anyone to make derogatory comments to spite Mr. President in order to score cheap political points, stressing that such acts cannot happen in developed countries such as America, France, Britain, Germany, among others.

“Whether we like it or not, Jonathan as the sitting President of Nigeria is the symbol of the country. Abusing and calling him names will not take us anywhere,” he said.
