Former President, Goodluck Jonathan says the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will become solid after the December 9, 2017 elective National Convention billed to produce national leadership of the party ahead of the 2019 general elections. Jonathan stated this on Sunday while speaking with newsmen in Port Harcourt shortly after he visited Governor Nyesom Wike.
According to him;
“God willing, we will go through the convention and the party will become solid. Now, we have the National Caretaker Committee and when you are a caretaker you are not as strong as an elected chairman. You know the party just went through challenges, luckily we passed the challenges through the pronouncement of the Supreme Court. Now we want to formerly elect the national officials of the party that will lead us to the 2019 elections.”
He commended Gov. Wike for his developmental strides in the state and hinted that he was in Rivers state to thank the governor for the support he offered to him during the burial of his brother-in-law.
“He is one of the best governors in terms of commitment and putting structures on the ground. I have always said that for you to say you are doing well as a governor you must add value to whatever you met on the ground. He met certain structures and he improved on them. He has build roads and other infrastructure."
“He even invited me to inaugurate one of the roads and bridges during the state’s anniversary. That is why people call him Mr. Project.”
