Ahead of next month’s presidential and general elections, national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, concluded yesterday that with its campaigns across the country, it was already headed for victory.
In a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP noted that in the course of the campaigns, it discovered that Nigerians from all walks of life identify with President Goodluck Jonathan as a leader with what it termed a strong bond with the people and their well-being, irrespective of religious, ethnic and political affiliations.
According to Metuh, the people of Nigeria will vote massively for President Jonathan to victory.
Metuh said: “As you are aware, in the last two weeks, the PDP presidential campaign train has visited states in the South-West and South-East geo-political zones of our great country.
“The PDP deeply appreciates Nigerians for their support, goodwill and prayers for our dear President and standard-bearer, President Goodluck Jonathan. In the same vein, we wish to thank our supporters in states so far visited for their solidarity and resounding resolution to vote for him and all PDP candidates in the general elections
“In keeping with our avowed commitment to a peaceful electoral process, our campaigns have been orderly and on issues devoid of unnecessary political mudslinging and acts of desperations, especially seeing the fact that a majority of the Nigerian voting population is with us.
“As we move along, one thing is clear, Nigerians from all walks of life identify with President Jonathan as a leader with very strong bond with the people and their well-being, irrespective of religious, ethnic and political affiliations.
“Our campaigns have been greeted by the turnout of millions of Nigerians who are eager to return our dear President to power come February 14.
“I can assure you that with the support of Nigerians, we will not only win convincingly in the entire five states of the South-East but also deal the APC a crushing defeat in South-West states including Lagos State where the popularity and acceptability of our presidential and governorship candidates have earned us tremendous support at the grassroots.
“As our campaign train moves to the north tomorrow, we leverage on the goodwill we enjoy from our citizens in that region. The north remains a stronghold of the PDP where in the last 16 years, we have enjoyed massive support and have continued to win majority votes as a result of our unprecedented performance in all sectors.
“Our strength lies in the fact that of the 19 states of the north, the PDP controls 12 with solid structures oiled over the years in all the wards and local government areas.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteLets talk again after the Feb 14th elections. but I think PDP will still win, I was actually hoping to see empty stadium in all their rallies, but am always jealous with the turnout I see everytime. even if the people are paid to come out enmass, does this not mean they can also be paid to vote? your guess is as good as mine.
