President Goodluck Jonathan And Obasanjo End Feud Ahead Of Elections.



President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday paid a visit to former president Olusesegun Obasanjo at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The meeting which started around 7pm and ended at about 9.15pm reportedly centered on Jonathan’s re-election bid and the need to resolve the disagreement between the two.

Sources  said the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye and the founder, Living Faith Ministry(Winners chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo, were also present at the meeting.

While addressing party supporters at the Peoples Democratic Party presidential campaign at the MKO International Stadium in Abeokuta earlier , President  Jonathan  said his administration would create eight million jobs if re-elected.

He said, “We are out to create jobs. Our target is to create at least two million jobs every year. We are working with the private sector, including Tony Elumelu. When you hear Elumelu, you know we are talking about a serious investor.”

Jonathan, who   noted that Ogun State had produced great Nigerian leaders like the late Obafemi Awolowo, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti and MKO Abiola, said through his government’s vibrant industrial policy, about 56 industries had been attracted to Ogun State.

He also stated that   his administration would embark on the construction of silos and other produce storage facilities across the country, including Ogun state, to enhance storage and preservation of agric produce.
