The Peoples Democratic Party has said that it is fully ready for the coming elections because the party is engaged in issue-based campaigns.
The National Publicity Secretary, Mr Olisa Metuh in a statement issued in Abuja on Monday said “The PDP is fully ready for the coming elections. Our leaders and members are working hard in all the nooks and crannies of the country leveraging on our existing grassroots appeal, wide-spread political structures, a track-record of performance and abiding affinity and loyalty to the people.
“We have very popular and acceptable hard working candidates which the people are anxious to vote for. Our Presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan, with verifiable achievements and commitment to national unity, remains the candidate the beat.
“We have engaged on issue-based campaigns. We have effectively shown Nigerians that we can be trusted. Our amiable leader, President Jonathan, has demonstrated strength of character, sincerity of purpose in his handling of state affairs and Nigerians are desirous to demonstrate their support for him come February 14.”
The National Secretary of the PDP, Prof. Wale Oladipo during a Press Conference in Osogbo on Monday to announce Jonathan’s visit to the state for his campaign also said that Nigeria is not safe in the hands of the All Progressives Congress.
He said “Nigeria is safe in the hands of President Goodluck Jonathan. The President is doing a lot to keep the country going. It would have been worse if not for the wisdom he is using to direct the affairs of the nation.
“Buhari has only said he would clamp corrupt politicians in jail without resorting to court. He said he would stop insurgency. Ask him how? He does not know because he does not mean what he is saying.
“Buhari jailed somebody 301 years for allegedly stealing N5,000. He jailed the late Chief Bola Ige, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, Sam Mbakwe and others without trial. Buhari and the APC leaders are dangerous to democracy. Nigeria is not safe in their hands.”
