At a gathering of members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in
the south-south region held in Edo State on Saturday, President Jonathan
stressed the need for the party members to be united while seeking
political positions.
“Elections are coming and we have different interest and we use this
platform to appeal to the people to know that at every level of election
from the State of Assembly, Governors and National Assembly that so
many people will be interested in the position.“Struggles to be in these positions must be done in unity in order for us to get all our states back,” he said.
President Jonathan stated that ahead of the coming elections, there is the need to appeal to warring members of the party to sheath their swords.
Jonathan, who attended a commissioning ceremony of the Benin Ore road said that the road was made to
serve Nigerians better. He stressed that every internal wrangling in the party had been resolved and that every party member is treated equally.
“There is no discrimination, no godfather, no imposition. This is the only party that gives you the freedom and opportunity to climb to the highest. For Tom Ikimi to leave APC it means that the last oxygen has been removed and the state will return to the PDP.
“We will improve on all our infrastructure. We cannot do all the roads the same day but we will continue to work on the them,” he said.
He welcomed those that joined the party and assured them of the party’s commitment to providing a level playing field for all.
The national chairman of the party, Mr Adamu Muazu, also absolved Mr Tom Ikimi and other defecting members of the All Progressives Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party.

Liberia's
chief medical officer, who is also a deputy health minister, has put
herself in quarantine as a precaution against Ebola after one of her
assistants died from the disease, the government said on Saturday.
Bernice Dahn is the latest senior West African medical official to be directly affected by an outbreak of Ebola, which has killed over 3,000 people as it spreads across most of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
"She has placed herself under self observation due to the fact that her special assistant contracted the virus," Isaac Jackson, Liberia's deputy information minister, told Reuters.
Jackson said that the government praised Dahn's decision to come forward to be monitored after potentially coming into contact with the disease.
"If everyone were to do what Dr. Dahn has done, Liberia would be free of Ebola," he said.
The latest figures from the World Health Organisation show that the death toll from the worst outbreak of Ebola on record has killed at least 3,091 people, out of 6,574 probable, suspected and confirmed cases.
Liberia has recorded 1,830 deaths, around three times as many as Guinea or Sierra Leone, the two other most affected countries. Nigeria and Senegal have had confirmed cases of Ebola but appear to have prevented it from spreading.
Although relatively common in Central Africa, the haemorrhagic fever has taken West Africa by surprise, spreading into heavily populated areas and across borders before authorities were able to coordinate their response.
Already weak national health care systems have been over-run by the disease, which has infected 375 health care workers in the region, killing 211 of them.
Sheik Umar Khan, the doctor leading the fight against Ebola in Sierra Leone, contracted the disease himself and died in July.
Foreign governments and international organisations are dispatching funds, supplies and personnel to the region amid warnings that the disease could claims tens or hundreds of thousands of lives before it is halted.
