Labra Musa Wayep insisted that the present<br \/>\nadministration has done well and deserves another chance to govern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe in the governance of Jonathan. If a man is good, tell him he is<br \/>\ngood. If a man has capacity, allow him to do what he needs to do. A little<br \/>\nencouragement makes the difference. Jonathan has taken the bull by the<br \/>\nhorn and done what no President has done in a very long time. We must do<br \/>\naway with sentiments and work to make Nigeria great. Given another<br \/>\nopportunity as Nigerian President, the country will be a very different<br \/>\nplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuote me, in a long time, we have not had a government where the northern<br \/>\nextraction has enjoyed so much appointments like this one. Time has come<br \/>\nfor Nigerians to begin to think of what to do to better Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking, National Chairman of the group, Chief Innocent Nyingerifaka<br \/>\ncommended the President for what he described as an excellent performance<br \/>\nin office and urged all Nigerians to support him in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJonathan has performed excellently well in all sectors of governance and<br \/>\nfulfilled his political promises to the people. Only good governance can<br \/>\nmove this country forward. We must work to promote our democracy and build<br \/>\npeace and friendship across the Niger. President Goodluck Jonathan is<br \/>\ndoing well and we want to work together to support him for a second<br \/>\ntenure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding his voice, National Director of Programmes and activities of the<br \/>\ngroup, Dr. Leloonu Nwibubasa described President Jonathan as a symbol of<br \/>\ngood governance and urged all to support his administration.<\/p>\n<p>He further described the PFF as a body committed to promoting National<br \/>\nUnity by building friendship across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have come to recognize the President of the Federal Republic of<br \/>\nNigeria as a symbol of good governance. This administration has given us a<br \/>\nclean breath from the perilous acts of economic depression and doom in<br \/>\nthis country. The parameters are there. He may have been faced with<br \/>\nseveral challenges, yet he is very focused, courageous and committed to<br \/>\nthe transformation agenda. We are here, not just to work for the 2015<br \/>\nProject, but for the unity of Nigeria. Our mission is to build the bridge<br \/>\nof friendship across this country. We must protect the future of Nigeria.<br \/>\nWe shall continue to drive and promote good governance in Nigeria. Nigeria<br \/>\nis an ongoing Project and we must contribute our quota to ensure that it<br \/>\nworks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The summit was attended by very important dignitaries, among whom are: the<br \/>\nDirector General of the Foundation, Dr. Maxwell Eremie; North-East<br \/>\nCoordinator, Major General Yakubu Usman (Rtd); Hon. Elizabeth Igwe, Mrs.<br \/>\nRhoda Yisa Doko, Dr. Sam Jaja, Comrade Ali Abacha, Barr. D.D.
