The Presidency on Sunday berated Chief Bisi Akande, the Chairman of opposition party, APC, over his claim that "Nigeria is on auto pilot".
Presidential Spokesperson, Dr Reuben Abati, in a statement issued in Abuja said that Akande and his party were "dishonest and upatriotic" in making such claim.
"Nigeria is not on auto pilot. There is a government in place, there is a President who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
"To give the impression that the President is doing nothing is dishonest," Abati said.
Abati also faulted Akande on the claim that the "government is mouthing meaningless phrases".
He said:"This government is not engaging in blame game. This government has a job to do and it is doing the job.
"They cannot say that government is on auto pilot in the face of all the achievements of this administration in the rail sector, health, aviation, foreign relations, transportation, trade and investment and in every sector.
``If Chief Akande wants to be honest with himself, he will say the truth and the truth will be that this country has been moved forward by President Jonathan.
"We are not at the level we were at the time President Jonathan assumed officein 2011.''
