Our president came under serious criticism from Nigerians
after he posted his Christmas message on his Facebook page yesterday. See what
he wrote below..
.
I want to seize this opportunity to wish you and your loved
ones a merry Christmas and a happy New Year in advance. I feel the pains of
Nigerians and that is why this Yuletide I have personally instructed that our
roads be worked on to enable you and your loved ones to travel safely for the
holidays. Not done, we ensured that for the first time in decades, the cross
country services (Lagos to Kano with stops in cities along the route) of the
Nigerian Railway Corporation were revived just prior to the holidays to
provide Nigerian masses with an inexpensive alternative to road and air
transportation.
This administration also took steps to increase power
generation by remaining true to the Timelines of the Roadmap to Power Sector
Reform, which has seen history made on Friday, December 21, when Nigeria’s
power generation hit an all-time high of just over 4,500 MW.”
Nigerians traveled on these coaches which took them
from Lagos to Kano beginning on Friday the 21st of December, 2012 at a very
affordable rate of 1,500 Naira, with stops at many cities along the route.

I reaffirm to you that, God willing, Nigeria will witness a better year in the coming year.
Once again, on behalf of my family and I and the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I, Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, wishes every Nigerian a very Merry Christmas and a most prosperous and Happy New Year.
