President Goodluck Jonathan has challenged his critics to compare the achievement of his administration with any other before they criticise saying that his administration has in two years and eight months performed better than any administration past and present in the country. The president, who was addressing People's Democratic Party (PDP) stalwarts from the north western zone of Nigeria who were in the Presidential Villa on a solidarity visit, said that it is blackmail for anyone to say that he is anti-north, insisting that he was the first to establish nine universities in the north at one time as well as the Almajiri schools to emancipate people from the shackles of poverty. He decried the challenges of insecurity in the north promising that he will do more for them by the time he gets rid of insurgency in that part of the country.
A former chairman of the PDP and leader of the delegation, Dr Alero Mohammed reeled out the efforts of the administration and promised to support the president at all times.
He also reports that the president called on them to see the amalgamation which brought Nigerians together as a source of unity promising to use the national dialogue to cement the bond.
