So President Jonathan Lied?

Who are the President's speech writers? How can they be so careless as to make false declarations that Nigeria's ranking as supposedly stated by Transparency International which they vehemently denied,and the Anti Corruption Drive have improved? Do they think that Nigerians are uninformed people? How could they make the country and the president look so foolish? And how could the president take all that, arms folded?
And to add insult to injury the presidency said they got and read about the upgrade in one of Nigeria's newspapers .
Running on that idea, sometimes, it is so disheartening to watch President Jonathan represent Nigeria. Standing amongst his equals he seems so timid and unsure of himself, and I blame the office in charge of grooming the president. All world leaders go through essential training in communication and public relations, and it is
clear that ours has no training whatsoever.

The president's speechwriters are simply lazy. I wonder how he can make himself so helpless to them. The only fact to that speech that I agree with is that the provision of electricity has improved, and I commend the government and Barth Nnaji for that.

In conclusion, the president should fire his speechwriting staff. If not to save his face, then to prevent such a national embarrassment from taking place again.
