President Goodluck Jonathan recently, yet again, invited Nigerians to be patient with his administration's apparent inability to successfully tackle the nation's myriad of social and economic problems.
The coming year, he promised, would be better. At a Christmas worship session at the Anglican Church of the Advent in Abuja, the president appeared primed to respond to the sermon by the Primate of the Church of Nigeria, Reverend Nicholas Okoh, who commended what he said were government's achievements in rice production, rehabilitation of railway transport, and road reconstruction in the aspects of these he had witnessed in Ebonyi State, and called for spiritual, traditional, and political leadership to give priority to the welfare of Nigeria's poor.
Adding to Okoh's list, Jonathan said the administration conducted free and fair elections and made major efforts to address its security challenges. He noted that his administration would appear to be slow; this was necessary in order to avoid rushing to play to the gallery, he added.
He had been decisive when the need arose, he said, pointing as evidence, the government's response to this year's floods that ravaged many parts of the country.
