'Gang-Up Against PDP Will Fail' - Jonathan Assures Everyone

On Tuesday, March 11, President Goodluck Jonathan declared that the several gang-ups against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the opposition parties would fail, as they had always done in the past.

The President made this statement in Kaduna during what the party tagged "Unity Rally" for the North-West zone.

He underlined that since 1999, several political parties had always connived to work against the fortunes of the PDP during elections, but have serially failed, stressing that no amount of gang-up by the opposition could erode the electoral fortune of the party.

The President assured everyone that the gang-up would fail and we shouldn't be bothered about it.

In the same statement, Jonathan drew an allegory between the All Progressives Congress (APC) and combustible products. He declared that the APC was like an assemblage of inflammable chemicals.

His exact words: "I used to tell people that if you put oil in a container, then pour kerosene in that container, then pour sulphuric acid in that container, you bring petrol and pour in that container and then hydrochloric acid, what will come out of the container? It is a disaster!

"So the gang-up will fail. It is just as you mix acid and other things in a container. So don't be worried, it is not a new thing. They will continue to gang-up, but will fail."

The President also told the huge crowd at the Murtala Square, Kaduna, that PDP remains the most stable and democratic party which is working to develop Nigeria.
