2015: PDP invites opposition to free, fair contest
The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday invited the opposition to free, fair and peaceful contest.
It also said it had done well for the country in the last 15 years since the country returned to democratic rule.
The party therefore said the declaration by President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 presidential election, which holds in Abuja on Tuesday, was an immeasurable boost to the collective aspiration of millions of members of the party for the greatness of Nigeria through the continuity of the quiet, all-sector transformation of the nation.
Its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, stated this in a statement in Abuja.
He said, "The champion, the best of them all is on the stage", and therefore invited the opposition to what he described as "a free, fair and non-violent contest."
Metuh said the unanimous endorsement of the President for a second term by the party, was a decision anchored firmly on the overriding necessity for an unmitigated protection of the national interest against the backdrop of sectional and selfish machinations squirming from the ranks of opposition.
He further said the acceptance of the offer made to Jonathan by the party after weeks of wide consultation and deep thought for national service, was a significant fresh assurance of better days ahead from a President who he said was known for doing more and talking less.

At this moment, Boko Haram is your greatest challenger, not APC. So invite it (Boko Haram) for the contest.
