Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has today declared that they are the best party to lead the nation for the next four years as President Goodluck Jonathan is expected to announce his formal declaration of entry into the 2015 presidential race.
PDP’ National Publicity Secretary Olisah Metuh in a statement described Jonathan entry as “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 statement signed by Metuh alleged that in four years Jonathan has done more than any other Nigerian leader ever.
He revealed that the unanimous endorsement of Mr. Jonathan for the PDP ticket meant that there is an overriding necessity for an unmitigated protection of the national interest against the backdrop of sectional and selfish machinations squirming from the ranks of opposition,” and was a case for a total support from all Nigerians and friends of Nigeria.
“Here, therefore, we re-present to Nigeria, a President who in 2011 promised “he would not win our affection by promises of things he would do “and has gone ahead to fulfill such through dynamic examples in humility, selflessness and re-engineering of the nation’s human and material infrastructures,” Metuh said.
“We present for re-election, the President who has achieved more in four years despite deliberate attempts to derail his focus, than any Nigerian leader, military or civilian has recorded in the same number of years”.
He explained that the ruling party was glad with the President’s work, he also praised the work of PDP governors all over the country.
It cited what it called “the sterling performance” of the PDP governors in Akwa Ibom and Jigawa states, where he said Governors Godswill Obot Akpabio and Sule Lamido have turned hitherto insignificant spots on the map of Nigeria into national and international destinations.
“In all these, we challenge the opposition to prove us wrong. We challenge that no Nigerian in good conscience will deny that the PDP has significantly taken the nation far away from the tethers of backwaters it was in fifteen years ago.
“We challenge that breaking away from the yoke of a pariah nation, from the stranglehold of a debtor nation- the noose of Paris club and the opening up of Nigeria via an uninterrupted 15 years of democracy, the fresh air of freedom, the rule of law, transparency and due process, the magic of modern information and communication technology and above all, the centripetal pull on the unity of the nation by the PDP as the only truly national political party do not deserve continuity.”
“Again, we state, we are the best. We hold the best and we represent the best.”
