President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed to capture the South-East region in the 2015 governorship election as he and his party, the PDP, launches obvious political campaigns.
Jonathan, who spoke at the Unity Rally organised to reconcile some aggrieved party members in the zone on Friday, said come what may, the PDP would capture Imo State in 2015 and other South-East states. He said, “In the South-East, the PDP is total. Every state has a maximum of three senators and a minimum of three senators. It is now clear the South-East is a PDP zone.” But this is a big lie as the PDP does not have the said three Senators in all the South-East states.
President Jonathan was boasting while some of the security personnel drafted to provide security at the venue of the rally in Enugu on Friday exchanged blows...
The exchange of blows, which involved members of the Nigeria Police and officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, was as a result of complaints of alleged harassment of policemen drafted to the rally venue by the members of the civil defence corps.
It took the intervention of members of other security agencies like the SSS and Army to prevent the police and NSCDC fight from escalating.
Reacting to all that President Jonathan said at the rally, the All Progressives Congress, APC, declared that he has lost the moral authority to lead the nation by violating all electoral laws and campaigning ahead of time.
APC Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said:
“When a President who is the number one citizen violates all electoral rules by campaigning well ahead of time, that President has lost the moral authority to lead a country.
"It is sad that the President cannot speak about issues but personalities. We would have been interested if he talks about the jobs he has created, how many roads he has built, how he is tackling health care and the insecurity in the nation and above all, how he is tackling corruption.
He [Jonathan] is doing none of these, we are not surprised because no one can rise above his capacity
