Boko Haram Is Giving Us Bad Name –– Jonathan's Government

The Goodluck Jonathan's administration has cried out that the killings and destruction being perpetrated by Boko Haram members has damaged the reputation of their government and Nigeria in general. “Boko Haram has damaged the reputation of Nigeria. A report of a bomb explosion makes more news globally than commissioning of projects. We have been doing well in an atmosphere of negative reports. This government is the most documented in the Nigeria history." Begging Nigerians to be more patient with President Jonathan, the Federal government, through the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, said President Jonathan must not be blamed for being responsible for the level of violence in the country against the backdrop that he has done everything humanly possible to nip the insurgency in the bud. Speaking, in before PDP leaders in Abuja on Tuesday, Maku who noted that major critics of the President and the government were members of the PDP. He stressed that in the world over, reforming leaders and Presidents were not always popular at the beginning. “A reforming President is never a popular President in the beginning until when the reform result begins to come out," he added
