2 Min Read

Federal Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has said that the candidate Nigerians will queue up to vote for in the 2015 elections is none other than President Goodluck Jonathan.

Speaking after a Peoples Democratic Party stakeholders meeting in Nasarrawa, Maku said the majority of the people want President Jonathan to serve out two terms and that power would return to the North in 2019.

“If you look at what is happening in Nigeria today, there is no reason for the people of Nigeria not to rise in support of Mr President.

“If you look at what this president has done in Nassarawa State, in 2015 the president should expect 95 per cent of the votes in the presidential election in Nassarawa State.

“As you have seen here, the youth are saying it must be Goodluck, the women are saying it must be Goodluck, the elders are saying it must be Goodluck.

“It is clear to every Nigerian that if election is conducted today, the president will take 70 per cent of the votes in the south, what we saw in Ibadan was very clear,” he said.

He said that the people of the state had insisted that rotation of the presidency was usually after eight years and as such, Mr President must be supported to complete the remaining four-year term of the South-South, NAN reported.

Maku stressed that the South-South had never ruled the nation before even though they were the main source of the nation’s wealth, adding that power would return to the north by 2019.
