….. declares tomorrow in 6
world cities
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says tomorrow’s
declaration by President Goodluck Jonathan for the 2015 presidential election
is an immeasurable boost on 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.
The PDP said “the champion, the best of them all is on the
stage”, inviting the opposition to a free, fair and non-violent contest.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP,
Olisa Metuh, Monday, said the unanimous endorsement of the President for a
second term by the party, “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, “is a case for a total support from all Nigerians and friends of
Nigeria.
It further said the acceptance of the offer made to him by
the party after weeks of wide consultation and deep thought for national
service, culminating in tomorrow’s declaration, is a significant fresh
assurance of better days ahead from a President who does more and talks less.
The statement added that the PDP was proud that the efforts
of the President have been complemented at the state level by the brilliance of
the PDP state governors whose dedication to the improvement of the lots of the
people has proved beyond all doubts, the merits of democracy as the best form
of government.
It said the sterling performance of PDP governors abound in
all PDP states citing Akwa Ibom and Jigawa states, where Governors Godswill
Obot Akpabio and Sule Lamido respectively have turned hitherto insignificant
spots on the map of Nigeria into national and international destinations.
“Again, we state, we are the best. We hold the best and we
represent the best.”
Though the president is expected to mount the rostrum at the
Eagle Square tomorrow, he is expected to replicate the declaration is about six
major cities across the world.
