The National Executive
Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party has adopted President Goodluck
Jonathan as the party’s sole presidential candidate for the twenty fifteen
election.
This decision was taken at
the NEC meeting of the party at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.
To
support his claim that there was no dissenting voice on the decision to
adopt President Jonathan as the sole presidential candidate, Governor Babangida
Aliyu introduced the Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido who in turn received a
standing ovation.
A visibly
exited President Jonathan in his acceptance speech described his adoption as
the sole presidential candidate as an ‘atomic bomb’, adding that he was humbled
and overwhelmed by the unanimous endorsement.
Similarly, The Board
of Trustees of the PDP has unanimously adopted President Goodluck Jonathan as
the party’s candidate for the twenty fifteen general elections.
The decision of the BOT
according to the former Minister of Information and member of the Board,
Professor Jerry Gana was an affirmation of the position of the PDP governors
who presented same to the BOT of the party.
