President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Elections will be conducted in all states of the federation next year.
Jonathan made this statement in his acceptance speech during the national convention of the Peoples Democratic Party where 3,000 delegates endorsed his candidacy for the 2015 presidential elections.
He said “It is encouraging that the security situation is improving, and by the grace of God, elections will be conducted in all states of the federation.
“I call on all Nigerians, irrespective of party or belief, to join me in this fight against insurgency and terror. We must be united. Bickering and quarrels only serve to send the wrong signals to terrorists and insurgents that we are divided in this fight.
“More importantly, it can also demoralise our dedicated and brave armed forces. This would be wrong. For this reason, we must remain united.”
He also promised to secure the country’s future; he said “I will work to secure Nigeria’s future. I will serve with humility and moderation, with simplicity and forthrightness; with openness and inclusiveness; and with firmness and strength. I urge all Nigerians to support me, to finish what we started together.”
