He is pushing the programmes to transform Nigeria and those who do not want change are opposed to him. In the process of transforming the country he is stepping on people\u2019s toes and they are opposed to him\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_53536\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr Ogbemudia, who also described the current Minister of Works, Arc. Mike Onolememen as the \u201cbest Minister of Works since 1960\u201d, urged Jonathan to give the Minister five more years because \u201cI have drove through llesha-Ife-Ibadan-Abeokuta-Lagos Road and the Minister is a blessing to Nigeria and Edo state in particular. And if he is given another five years, potholes and bad roads will be a thing of the past in Nigeria\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_53538\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">While lamenting that despite the laudable programmes of the Goodluck Jonathan administration, some Nigerians are still not happy, the retired Army General asserted that \u201cwhen you see the Benin-Lagos-Shagamu road you will no doubt come to the conclusion that a great percentage of the transformation is on the way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cBefore now, from Benin-Lagos, none was tarred except small plantation, about four miles, all others red earth and when you get to Lagos you are red unless you tie some napkins over your head.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_56112\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSo I think that Jonathan should be allowed to complete his job, we should give him the maximum support we can so that when it is our turn, his supporters will also support us\u201d, he pleaded.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_56110\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ogbemudia noted that the president was having sleepless nights working on how he could put Nigeria back on track, therefore, he should not be distracted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He added: \u201cThey should keep away from him those people who are pursuing their personal interest\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_56108\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">When asked if he will support Onolememen for governorship in Edo state come 2016, Ogbemudia stated that \u201che has not told me he is running for governorship. You don\u2019t back people who don\u2019t tell you about their ambition. Apart from that because he has done well in one sector does not mean that he will do well in other sectors\u201d.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_56106\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">The former governor instead stressed the need for the minister to remain in his current position where he can make \u201cNigeria proud\u201d rather than \u201cmake things difficult for himself\u201d by vying for the Edo governorship seat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"base-card-clear\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_1_1408362095617_53443\" class=\"card-footer\" style=\"color: #000000; text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Goodluck Jonathan is experiencing turbulent times in his leadership of the country because he has stepped on toes in the process of executing his Transformation Agenda, a two-time ex-governor&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
