Here are five quotes from Obama’s message that member of All Progressives Congress (APC) are very uncomfortable with

Here are five quotes from Obama’s message that members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are very uncomfortable with:

1. “Nigeria is a great nation and you can be proud of the progress you’ve made.”
Obama acknowledges that Nigeria has made tremendous progress that we can be proud of. Listening to the APC’s message you would think that Nigeria is not working, and Obama rightly points out that we have made progress under the present Jonathan administration.
Who would want uncertain change over the chance to keep progressing?
2. “Together, you won your independence, emerged from military rule, and strengthened democratic institutions.”
