The presidential re-election campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP kicked off today in Lagos, the commercial capital of the nation with thousands of PDP supporters in the Southwest geo- political zone storming the city to welcome its presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos.
The two governors of the PDP in the South West, Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo and Ayo Fayose of Ekiti are being joined by party leaders from the zone to host the president and all other party leaders from other parts of the country. Governorship candidates of the party are also to be presented to the public at the campaign ground. The Lagos campaign rally is expected to be used by the president to present his score card of his government in the zone and woo the people of the region to vote for his re-election.
It is expected that the president will use the campaign to remind South westerners how his government remodelled the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) in Ikeja, the Murtala Muhammed International Airport wing, and the ongoing reconstruction work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, which for the last decade or more has been left in a sorry state.
He is also expected to speak about the steady and fast intervention in the rail sector with the return of railways with new train engines and luxury coaches, as well as the reconstruction of the Apapa/Oshodi Expressway, leading to the nation’s ports.
A PDP leader said musicians and comedians are expected to grace the event.
