Ahead of the 2015 elections and even when President Goodluck Jonathan has not declared his intention to seek re-election, Nigeria’s minister of education, Nyesom Wike, has predicted landslide victory for Jonathan, the torch bearer for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike said “it will not take much of its efforts to crush and override the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections in the State”.
Addressing leaders and other Party faithful Friday, at the Party Secretariat in Port Harcourt during the official Commissioning/Handing over of the first Batch of Branded Buses to the 23 LGAs in Rivers State, Wike, said PDP is far ahead of the APC, and is poised to vote out from office the ‘APC monsters’ in the State currently hibernating in Government House and milking the state dry.
The PDP leader said the vehicles will ease mobility of members and enhance effective execution of Party activities in all the nooks and crannies of the state.
The National Deputy Chairman of the Party, Prince Uche Secondus said it was high time the PDP in the State took their destiny in their hands, which is taking over the government of the State.
Secondus said the Party will soon commence the update of membership registration nationwide, 14 years after its initial membership documentation.
He said the PDP will not settle for anything other than the gold at all levels, not silver, warning all party members not to allow elements of the APC to infiltrate them. He also said winning elections is not about the volume of press or media coverage and advertorials paid for as Governor Amaechi and APC are doing, but about contacts and mobilization of the masses.
The State party Chairman, Bro Felix Obuah expressed appreciation over the various support and cooperation of leaders of the party.
