President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday during a rally in Enugu said that
the All Progressives Congress candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd),
cannot remember his own mobile phone number.GEJ said though he didn't
like to“go personal during campaigns,” “sometimes circumstances demand
that certain things must be said.”..He was reacting to various
statements by Buhari during APC's own campaign
“Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country.” Jonathan asked.
“We cannot run the government as if we are in the medieval age; we
cannot run a government where somebody said he would throw people into
jail.
You are not a medieval king – a medieval king can
throw you into jail but we have to follow the rule of law because we
cannot go back to the old days.” “They are telling young Nigerians that
they are going to change the economy but they have not told us how they
want to manage the economy more than us.If they say they want to change
agriculture, they should tell us the weak links in the agriculture value
chain and what they want to do about it.I said in Lagos that I want to
work with young people, not to deceive people.I am not going to run the
government based on my habits, I am going to run the government
according to global best practices.”
