Over the weekend, the Adamawa State Governor, Murtala Nyako, said that there is no way President Goodluck Jonathan can win another free and fair election in the country as the Peoples Democratic Party ,PDP has failed in key governance indices.
Nyako's speech was a response to an earlier one by President Jonathan in which the President said that the PDP would regain the five states whose governors defected to the opposition.
PUNCH reported that, speaking through Ahmad Sajoh, his Director of Press and Public Affairs,Nyako said, "Our advice to him and his party, is to look inwards and see what is going wrong around him. He is junketing and visiting traditional rulers in places where nothing is happening, he has forgot to visit places where people are being killed daily, where innocent people are being slaughtered.
"He has a responsibility to the people of this country not to contest for the Presidency in 2015 but to provide leadership for Nigerians between now and 2015. He has to secure the lives and property of Nigerians between now and then to ensure free and fair elections and ensure confidence in the democracy. These are the challenges before him; this is much more than his desperation to return to power in 2015".
Also responding to the President's statement, Rivers State Governor,Rotimi Amaechi said, "For anybody to declare that the PDP will take over Rivers in 2015 is mere hallucination. It (PDP winning Rivers in 2015) is not possible. I cannot talk about any other state, but I am sure that APC is in full control of Rivers State.
"You can see that Rivers is an APC state and they can’t take it. More than 90 per cent of the voting population in Rivers State is APC. Apart from being APC members, they are also adherents of APC. So, PDP cannot take the state away from APC", Amaechi added.
