New Restoration Team Writes Jonathan On Way Out Of The Woods

Press Release

The New Restoration Team in Rivers has identified four major areas that have consistently posed a problem to the nation’s economy. These include the power sector, the implementation of the Post Amnesty programme, the electoral reform and the oil and gas sector.

And for the acting President Goodluck Jonathan to write his name in the sand of history, the New Restoration Team says it is imperative for him to declare a state of emergency in these areas and proffer immediate solution.

In a statement issued and signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Jerry Needam, the New Restoration Team while congratulating the Acting President on the maturity with which he has been handling State affairs since the absence of President Musa Yar’Adua said to further endear himself to Nigerians, Goodluck Jonathan has to personally intervene in the aforementioned areas.

If for instance, the masses are provided with regular supply of power and petroleum products at an affordable price, the political landscape will be less hot for good and smooth governance, the statement added.

Another issue for which the New Restoration Team has given the Acting President a pat on the back is the electoral reform which recommendations he has sent to the National Assembly unedited.

The New Restoration Team is convinced that this is a bold step to eliminating the political cankerworm that has eaten so deep into the nation’s fabric and hoped that the earlier it is addressed the better for the entire country.

In conclusion, the New RestorationTeam also wants Acting President Jonathan to use his good office to attend once and for all the issue of militancy in the Niger Delta by ensuring that the Post-Amnesty Programmes are carried out to its logical conclusion and speedily too.

It wishes the Acting President success in the days ahead as he tackles the tortuous issues of leadership.
