2015: Paid endorsements cannot help you – Lagos Assembly hit out at Jonathan

The Lagos State House of Assembly has
accused President Goodluck Jonathan of being
behind some endorsements for his re-election
campaign.

The lawmakers, in a statement signed by their
spokesman, Segun Olulade, noted that the
“series of paid endorsements of Jonathan for
second term by some groups are mere
demonstration of the deep fears and trepidation
being nursed by the Peoples Democratic
Party ,PDP,as the 2015 general elections
beckon.”

They said that such endorsements werte no
threat to the chances of the All Progressives
Congress,APC,and its candidates in 2015.

According to the House, the recent
endorsement of Jonathan by the Southwest
caucus of the PDP in Lagos on Tuesday, “can
in no way prevent the APC from taking over
from the PDP come 2015.”
Lamenting his performance, Olulade said the
failure of the Jonathan-led administration in
addressing the “various challenges facing the
country, as well as, the incessant crises that
have rocked the PDP structures nationally and
in many states of the federation, have made its
leaders become more desperate, and resorting
to crude ploys aimed at cajoling Nigerians and
the rest of the world that all is well with the
country.”

“Nigerians are not only tired of
the PDP but are well prepared
to carry the banner of the APC
as a better alternative to the ruling PDP”,
adding that “the APC will not only win elections
in over 30 states of the federation but also at
the centre come 2015.”
Canvassing support for the APC, the House
stated that “It is the party that is capable of
restoring the lost hopes and redeeming the bad
image of Nigeria in the comity of nations.

The
great transformation going on in the ACN-
controlled states; the giant strides of the
Rochas OKorocha administration in Imo State,
as well as, the performance of ANPP and CPC
governors in their respective states are
eloquent testimonies to the chances of the APC
to defeat the PDP come 2015.”

The spokesman, while reacting to the PDP
South-West caucus’ endorsement for
Jonathan’s re-election bid, said “it is ridiculous
and laughable for the PDP to have described
Jonathan as someone with exceptional
leadership qualities in spite of the huge failure
of his administration in moving the country
forward.”
