The chairman, PDP Board of Trustees (BOT), Chief Tony Anenih, has said President Goodluck Jonathan would contest the presidential election in 2015 on PDP platform.
Anenih said this while addressing party faithful at the maiden zonal tour of the south-south by the new PDP chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, on Tuesday in Calabar, Cross River.
“I want the national chairman to go home with a word from the father that come 2015, Jonathan will run for presidency for the second term,” he said.
He said that the party was becoming stronger in the south-south, adding that “if we continue like this, the load in 2015 will be lighter than the load in 2011”.

The BOT chairman further said that the party had worked hard for next weekend’s governorship election in Osun, adding that PDP was sure of clinching victory in the election.
“We are working and we are sure that we will win Osun, come Saturday,” he said.
Mu’azu said the party would ensure that internal democracy prevailed in its choice of candidates for various elective positions in 2015.

He said that the party would not entertain any short-cut or favouritism in selecting the candidates, advising PDP members and supporters to shun rumour mongering and falsehood because of their implications on party success and stability.
“The opposition has seen that we are winning in all fronts and they are ready to destroy us. Therefore, let us be careful as we are in a very trying time,” he said.
Gov. Ibrahim Dankwanbo of Gombe State, said that the north-east PDP was in full support of Jonathan’s administration.
“I want to assure the people of south-south that we in the north-east are in solidarity with you and the president.

Jonathan will run in 2015!
Certainly, he will run to Otuoke in 2015. Insha Allah.
He will run to a Third Term in 2019.
I want Nigerians to listen and listen carefully.
Every thing in life has an expiry date and until a product for instance is expired, you cannot throw it away.
Good luck Ebele Jonathan has not expired yet. His expiry date if in case you don’t know is 2019.
This is the only time, he can run to Otueke. But for now, permit me to say that he still remains I’m Aso Rock, (Insha Alla and By Gods Grace, Amen)
I know many may not be happy about it, but there is nothing we can do to change that.
Come 2015, APC will present a presidential candidate.
Indeed also, come 2015, PDP will be presenting the Anointed Presidential Candidate.
You may want to ask what is the difference?
I tell you. Anointed presidential candidate is superior to candidate.
When a man is Anointed, he is ordained to rule.
Jonathan is the David of our times. He will surely win all the battles against him.
Good luck is your name, Nigerians wish you your Name, come 2015.
Carry Go.
