President Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday boasted that he is yet to see any political party that would displace the Peoples Democratic Party from seat in the coming election.
The president said all those who have been criticizing the party was only giving them free publicity.
Jonathan gave this assurance during the unveiling of the PDP Ward Volunteer Scheme held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“I am convinced that up to this time, there is no party that can beat the PDP. All we need is unity. There is no party that is formidable like the PDP,” the President said.
According to him, the PDP was not just the largest party in Nigeria but also the only party that had members in all voting units across the country.
He said even if 10 political parties come together, they could not reach the PDP’s level.
He further claimed that state governments under the leadership of the PDP had been able to provide functional airports in their state capitals.
Jonathan said the party would not allow the opposition to win at the national level.
He said, “They (the opposition) intimidate us to the extent that they intimidate us even in states where we have PDP governors.
“We will not allow those who are not up to us in terms of performance to continue to intimidate us.
“At the national level, we cannot compare our standards with theirs, because they have not had the experience and we will not give them the opportunity because I know they will not do well”.
