The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has again boasted that it would shock the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the six geopolitical zones of the country at March 28 presidential election, adding that its candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan will claim a resounding victory.
This was disclosed by the PDP Deputy National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus while reviewing the party’s presidential campaign tour of the six geo-political zones with journalists in Abuja.
According to Secondus, the party was overwhelmed by the warm reception accorded it and its presidential candidate and was convinced that PDP was unstoppable at the polls.
“The president is not going to lose the election. I am telling you emphatically that we will win this election convincingly in the six geopolitical zones. Even in the South-West, we will shock them
“We will do far better than we did in 2011 in the entire North generally, despite the security challenges we are facing over there.
“There is no shaking In the North-West, especially Kano, where we lost the governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, to the APC, but we gained the incumbent education minister, Mallam Ibrahim Shekarau and he is going to make the difference.
The PDP boss also expressed confidence that APC will be shocked with the result of the presidential election in the South-West, despite the fact that its vice presidential candidate, Professor Yemi Oshibanjo, hails from the zone.
“If you look well, the projects commissioned by President Jonathan in the last few weeks were in the South-West, including two power projects,” he said.
He also pointed at the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway as one of the projects in the region that could tilt victory in favour of President Jonathan.
Reacting to reports of cracks in the party’s National Working Committee, NWC, Secondus said: “Forget about that, everybody is working. We don’t go on imaginary journey, we deal with reality. Everybody here is working for the president.
