President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday dissolved the Presidential Declaration Committee with a plea to all aspirants on the platform of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to shun do-or-die tendencies during party primaries and the general elections.
Jonathan spoke when he hosted members of the committee to a luncheon at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president said that the world would not end for those who would lose, adding that their loss might mean that God had better responsibilities for them.
"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'.
"We are taking inventory of all what is happening in all the states and I promise that we will try and use as many people as possible. There are challenges in some states. People may deliberately block you. You may even be the best candidate in that particular constituency but let us move ahead.
"In my own life, the things I look for I hardly get. It's what I don't even think about that sometimes that I get, and I believe most of you will smile. But collectively, first and foremost, let us unite the party, work together for our collective victory and I believe after that most of us will have one thing or the other to do", he stated.
Describing himself as a privileged aspirant by virtue of his endorsement as the sole presidential candidate of the party, and wished other aspirants at various levels success.
Jonathan thanked members of the declaration committee for their commitment and hard work which resulted in the success of the event.
He also expressed gratitude to the leadership and members of the PDP, saying that their support and steadfastness in the face of challenges were instrumental to the achievements so far recorded by his administration.
