Northern Group Defends Jonathan, Slams Atiku’s ‘Inexperience’ Claim

A northern socio–political group condemned Atiku Abubakar’s remarks branding Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency as a product of “inexperience.” They argue his attack distorts Jonathan’s long track record in office. The group highlights Jonathan’s rise through constitutional ranks—from deputy governor to president—and credits him with rebasing Nigeria’s economy, unbundling the power sector, reviving rail and road infrastructure, and dismantling corruption networks. They also praise Jonathan’s peaceful concession in 2015 as a defining act that secured national stability and global respect. The statement urges Atiku to accept responsibility for his own political setbacks instead of rewriting history. According to the group, Jonathan’s verifiable milestones and tested leadership stand in contrast to repeated presidential bids that have yet to yield the highest office.
