Stop Insulting Jonathan, Ex-ministers Tell Buhari
Ministers, who served under former
President Goodluck Jonathan have
told President Muhammadu Buhari
to stop unwarranted attacks on the
former president.
They have also asked Buhari to show
respect to Jonathan in his actions
and utterances as a former president
of Nigeria, who paved the way for
his emergence.
The ministers made the call in a joint
statement released in Abuja on
Sunday.
The former ministers maintained
that it was wrong for the Buhari
administration to cast aspersion on
Jonathan and the ministers who
worked under him, deliberately
discrediting the monumental
achievements and the innovative
measures it adopted to tackle
corruption in the country.
The former officials in a joint
statement released in Abuja on
Sunday and signed by former
National Planning Minister, Dr
Abubakar O. Suleiman pointed out
that while Buhari and his party, the
All Progressives Congress had the
right to chart their path, they
considered the vilification of the
Jonathan’s administration as ill-
intentioned, unduly partisan, and in
bad faith.
They said it was also wrong for the
new administration to portray each
and every member of the Jonathan
administration as corrupt and
irresponsible.
The former ministers who boasted
that they served Nigeria diligently
and to the best of their ability,
pointed out that the results of their
sweat was what Nigerians were
enjoying under the Buhari
administration and should be so
applauded rather than being vilified
