President Goodluck Jonathan said yesterday that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would emerge victorious at all levels in the 2015 general elections “despite the noise and lies by the opposition party.”
Jonathan said this at a luncheon in honour of members of the Presidential Declaration Committee held at the State House Banquet Hall.
He said: “I am yet to see those who can beat PDP. They will continue to make the noise but they cannot beat us, because the gap between PDP and others is astronomical. The way we do things and the way they do things is very different, the way we talk and the way they talk is very different, the way we reason and the way they reason is very different.
“Our commitment to transform this country and their thinking about Nigeria is very different. And I promise you my party men and women and indeed all Nigerians that with your support, collectively we must move this country to where we want it to be. Every day, every week and every month we must add something, we must change and continue to change.
“And let me use this unique opportunity to plead with all of us who are aspiring for electoral offices that the world does not begin and end with the office you are looking for. Sometimes, you would be looking for an office; you may not be able to get it for one reason or the other. Let us say somebody blocked you, so be it, let somebody block you. But if God wants something better for you, even after that blocking you will get something else. I plead with all of us that we should not play the do or die, ‘except I get it, let the party sink.”
In his remarks, national chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, called on members of the party to be loyal and faithful to the ideals of the party.
