A former President , Dr Goodluck Jonathan , has advised of the Peoples Democratic Party no to make the mistake of making wrong choice of National Working Committee at the December convention.
Jonathan gave the advice when he received an aspirant for the party’ s national chairmanship position, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, at his residence in Abuja on Tuesday.
He cautioned that the party could not afford to make mistake in choosing its next national chairman and publicity secretary, describing them as “ very delicate positions .”
He said , “ This time around we need a very courageous and vocal person to be the chairman. There are two positions that we must not make mistake on – the positions of the national chairman and that of the national publicity secretary, because I have worn the shoes before and I know where it pinches.
“If we make a mistake as a party and elect a wrong chairman and publicity secretary, we are finished. ”
Jonathan added , “ We need a very competent person and a team player, somebody who will not negotiate to get money from the aspirants to make them candidates .
“If you do that , you have destroyed the party because a party must come up with programmes and policies that will elect the best of the best .
“If you present the best material , the chances of your wining election are stronger than when you present a wrong material . We need such kind of chairman that will galvanise the national committee and also link up with state committees and do the best for the party.
“This is key so that by 2019 when we go for the general elections, the PDP will have majority in the states’ Houses and National Assembly and of course , the PDP must win the Presidency . “
Jonathan , who said that the December convention would be keenly contested, urged the chairmanship aspirants to see the exercise as a family affair .
According to the former President , the PDP must migrate from the ruling party to opposition for the purpose of stabilising the country’ s democracy.
“I am not saying that as an opposition party you must be saying anything you like

PDP was FINISHED the day you opened your mouth to say 'STEALING IS NOT CORRUPTION' and PDP was BURIED the day we sane ones voted you out of Aso Rock along with your 40 thieves Oga Jona!!

Oga Jonah has spoken....nobody should open their mouth to insult this man o!

Of course that is a startling fact.Ask APC's Oyegun how disastrous it has been for his party as Sagay have been taking him to the cleaners.

You finished Pdp from the day Mama Piss became BOT most valued person and summoning Northern Alhajis,issuing assignments to them at will against their will, tradition and religion..
chai Mama Piss finished the Manhood of Pdp from bottom.

You guys are finished already ..

PDP IS ALREADY DEAD AND BURIED.

B

Uncle Jonathan,

PDP was already finished the day you abused and relegated the founding fathers because of your pride.

PDP got finished when you celebrated corruption and embezzled with impunity.

PDP got finished when you and your wife patience was calling the shots , attempted removing a sitting governor, distrupting the federal house of rep proceedings and dictating to the PDP NEC.

PDP got finished when you allowed the likes of Fayose, FFK and others with questionable integrity.

Jonathan you and your 4 wives finished PDP.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

Then chose me, I be correct chairman



For your EIA, Soil Test and Borehole
See my signature

As much as APC has disappointed Nigerians, we Nigerians are not ready to bring them back to power anytime soon.

So weather they are finished or not, that talk na for them pocket.

Ok

Like me

@

Thank you the Hero of our Democracy,the ruling party is even playing opposition to it self,that shows "every lie has an expiry date"

*AburoBuhari*

I blame buhari.who would have been talking about PDP now.that evil party would have died a natural death but buhari's govt made the devil look like a saint now.
Nonsense.

Even u ur self is gone like d PDP so no need campaigning for good chairman.

The old cargoes should take the backseat. PDP should look for a young, vibrant and politically savvy chairman. APC won't survive 2019

Wrong chairman or not, PDP is DEAD!

Can you guys really change? Who are you planning to front as a presidential candidate come 2019? Another recycled theiving politician I suppose. Truth is, there is not ONE credible soul in your ranks that can give the polity any semblance of hope relative to your governance.

It is finished

Ghen Ghen

yes sir. you are so on point. But I am angry with you for handing power to this incompetent dullardo. He has messed the country up

When will Nigerians wake up to the fact that there is no difference between PDP and APC.
Just a bunch of recycled leaders

if you do mistake,america will know.

A man of peace has spoken. My only grouse against u is that u wanted to be called an elder statesman by leaving ur place to go and develop a very unappreciative and bigot region where cows reason well more than them. Build schools, roads, hospitals, etc for them, it doesn't concern them. They are only interested in power grabbing even when they have done virtually nothing with it while they have it.

JIMI AGBAJE is the best option for PDP.
Anyway, their party, their choice

This man is always talking sense whenever he has opportunity to address issues. A word is enough for a wise

with the way GEJ is talking, is it not better if he becomes the next chairman of pdp? He seems to be the best candidate for the job
