The group said some
Nigerians had taken delight in using abusive words against President Goodluck
Jonathan, adding that such attitude was not common in other countries.
National Coordinator of the group, Mr. David Ato,
who made this call while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt on Friday,
explained that President Goodluck Jonathan meant well for Nigerians.
Ato stated that the President needed the support of
Nigerians, including youths, to be able to deliver on his election promises.
He said people using abusive words against the
President should realise that Jonathan did not create the economic and
political problems facing the country.
Ato said, “The youth should desist from using
abusive words against the President of the country. We should learn how to
respect our leaders and we need to support him because we elected him into that
office.
“Insulting him on Facebook and other social media
is not the best. The truth is that Nigeria has been facing a lot of economic
and political problems for a long time. President Jonathan did not create these
problems.”
He, however, urged the President to begin to
deliver on his election promises in 2013, adding that Nigerians were waiting
anxiously to see the manifestation of his transformation agenda.
Ato, who expressed optimism that Nigerians would
soon begin to enjoy the dividends of democracy, also charged Jonathan to
address the problem of insecurity, especially in the northern part of the
country.
He decried the continued onslaught against innocent
Nigerians by the Boko Haram sect, even as he called on Nigerians not to relent
in praying for an end to the bomb attacks in the North.
He argued that the situation in the North was
adversely affecting the image and economy of the country, adding that no
investor would invest in a crisis-ridden environment.
Calling on security agents to relate with members
of the public on security issues, Ato said such measure could help to improve
intelligence gathering.
