The chairman of President Goodluck Jonathan fund raising committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, has stated that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party will win next year’s presidential election because it has ruled the country very well in the last 15 years, he however warned members of the party against complacency in the 2015 general elections.
He made the statement on Saturday night while speaking at the PDP fund raising dinner held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Gana, a former Minister of Information and member of the PDP Board of Trustees, declared that the 2015 elections would be competitive.
He stated that though the party had done well under President Goodluck Jonathan, members must campaign and communicate his achievements to the electorate.
Gana said: “the 2015 elections will be very competitive. Do not take it for granted. We must never underestimate the opponent.
“PDP has advantage because it has done very well in its 15 years in power at the centre. Besides, our presidential candidate is very good and is one of the best in the world in terms of delivery of democracy dividends.
“But doing well or having good candidates is not enough; we need to tell the electorate what we have done as a party.
“We must endeavour to effectively communicate our achievements and candidates to the people; the elections must be issue-based and the PDP is noted for that.”
Gana warned the leadership of the PDP at all levels against imposition of candidates on Nigerians.
