The party also decried the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign in the South-West, saying all attempts to rubbish President Goodluck Jonathan by the APC leaders in the region would fail.
The PDP noted that no president in the history of the country had performed creditably well as President Jonathan, stressing that the achievements of the
Jonathan-led administration in the South-West could not be equaled with those of his predecessor in office.
A leader of the party in the South-West, Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, said despite the fact that the APC presidential candidate picked his running mate from the South-West, the party would fail woefully in the region.
He said the antecedents of the APC”s presidential candidate, General Mohammadu Buhari, were enough for the people of the region to vote against him.
Olaoluwa also noted that Buhari’s running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, was not a popular politician in the South-West and could not command the votes of the people of the region.
“Osinbajo is not known in the South-West. He has no impact in the region. We do not know him and our people cannot support a man they do not know. Prof Osinbajo cannot lay claim to any contribution he has rendered to the South-West region as a person from the region.
“Both Buhari and Osinbajo have nothing to offer for the people of the South West.
“We need people like Jonathan to continue leading us in Nigeria. This is a man who has done greatly in all sectors of the economy. He has done greatly in the South-West and we can see all that he has done for us. This is a man we need for Nigeria to move forward,” he said.
