President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday, September 27, at the PDP South-South unity rally held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, Edo State, vowed that his administration will crush Boko Haram exactly the way it fought Ebola virus disease.
President Jonathan also said that the PDP would win Edo and Rivers states in the 2015 and 2016 general and governorship elections in the two states. Jonathan, who arrived the Benin Airport at about 1pm, was welcomed by Governor Adams Oshiomhole and members of the Edo State Executive Council.
He proceeded with the governor to the commissioning of the reconstructed Benin-Ore-Lagos dual carriage road before storming the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium for the PDP rally.
Speaking at the rally, Jonathan declared that his administration had made giant strides in infrastructural development despite criticisms from the opposition, just as he urged PDP members to ensure unity to be able to win the forthcoming general elections. “Recently, we were recognized for fighting Ebola disease.
So I promise you that there must be food security and anybody who says that we should not talk about food security is not ready to lead the people. “You are all aware that we have conquered Ebola and we will surely crush Boko Haram. And if you look at what is happening, a lot of things are changing. Everything is turning around,” the President said.
The President also mentioned that as people like a former Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Tom Ikimi, left APC to join the PDP, “Edo State will
go to PDP.” “For Rivers State, we know that the only party there is PDP.
Other parties exist on bill boards, so allow their sign boards to stay,
we know the party that is controlling Rivers State. All what we need is
unity,” he added.
