Barring last minute pressure to lure back Peoples Democratic Party, governors who are on the verge of crossing-carpeting to the rival opposition party, APC in the 2015 Presidential election, the Chairman Board of Trustees of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Anthony Anennih, last night at the PDP
family dinner held in Abuja propose an automatic ticket for PDP
Governors and National Assembly members seeking re-election.
According
to Mr Fix It, the PDP public officers should be allowed to automatically fly
the flag of the party in the next election. He further said that, “It will help to stop friction and acrimony in the
nomination of aspirants and reduce the problems that come with
primaries.”
The BoT Chairman also asks the party to grant President Goodluck Jonathan a second term automatic ticket, advising party members to give the President absolute loyalty and support.
He also asked members not to be distracted by the antics of opposition parties.
President Goodluck Jonathan in his address at the PDP dinner said that,
no political party can beat the PDP in Nigeria, according to the
President; the PDP is the most united political party in the country.
The President also said he is not losing any sleep over the opinions or
actions of the opposition, “People come to me and say, are you aware
that the opposition are meeting at this hotel, or at that kitchen? I
usually tell them that, the day, they stop meeting, or saying anything,
then there is problem.”
He advised PDP members to continue to work together and where there seems to be disagreements, strive to settle it within.
