The National Unity Group (NUG), an NGO said on Saturday that nine presidential candidates in the February 14 presidential election may step down for President Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The National Secretary of the group, Dr Cairo Ojougboh, told newsmen in Abuja that it had been meeting with the parties on the need for them to support Jonathan.
According to Ojougboh who did not mention the candidates and their parties, said consultations would continue on February 1, noting that, the discussions so far had been fruitful.
He said that the PDP presidential campaign was satisfactorily progressing in the northern part of the country.
He urged the citizenry not to feel intimidated but to perform their civic responsibility of voting on election days.
“We are counting on all Nigerians, northerners especially, that they should not be intimidated, they should go out and vote massively for Mr President.
“For this country to remain united and for the progress we are experiencing now to continue, there is the need for all to cooperate with Mr President and vote massively for the PDP,” he said.
Senator Chris Ukpabi, who also spoke said the group, having critically examined President Jonathan`s score cards in all sectors of the economy, was convinced that he was the right president for the country.
He called on all Nigerians to support his re-election bid to enable him continue with his good works.
NAN reports that also present at the briefing were Chief Chukwuemeka Ezeife, a former governor of old Anambra, Sen. Oserheimen Osunbor, former governor of Edo, among others

ReplyDeleteLet INEC take note of these lazy and no-goal political parties and scrap them going forward. We cant be dishing out taxpayers money to these elements called parties. Who knows if they were formed by PDP allies from d beginning for this purpose... VOTE BUHARI
ReplyDeleteMajority of APC supported rejoinder is done by one and the same person, who has been mobilised to write for APC, The day of reckoning is fast approaching, that day APc will know that lies and propaganda does not pay!. The steady progress and foundation laid by President Goodluck Jinathan mustbe allowed to solidify and translate to gains for all Nigerians. This is not time to scatter the programmes and denied Nigerians from reaping the result of pains-taking plans and investment. Goodluck for President 2015 is real!, the best choice for now .

ReplyDeleteGEJ 2015!!!
ReplyDeleteAll those crying corruption corruption, do you think Buhari is the solution to this nation's problems? This is an old man who cannot remember the name of his running mate and is surrounded by former PDP members who are waiting to take advantage of his old brain to loot. If at all he wins, I bet you Buhari's regime will be the worst thing that will ever happen to Nigeria. As for me GEJ is still an option, not because he is a saint but because he is trying.
ReplyDeleteWho are the nameless, compromised, shameless aspirant? It shows they have no plans for Nigeria that is why they have to step down for the most corrupt and clueless president in history of Nigeria. How much we're they paid Afterall?
ReplyDeleteThey have been settled with the missing $20b oil money. They will show up again a few years from now so they can be settled. This nation is dead, thanks to Jonathan and his henchmen.
ReplyDeleteso you settle with the money meant to develop nigeria Chai!! Chai!!! after voting GEJ Hope we will survive till 2019

ReplyDeleteAm so happy that those yearning for change has finally resolve to take our battle to the polls, am so confused that with all that is happening around us today some people can still wish to continue with these level of corruption and poverty yet some fools still saying they should continue. Well, l can understand their plight when poverty ravage your brain it perhaps change their thinking
