President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday told a gathering of
the Peoples Democratic Party leaders in the Presidential Villa, Abuja that he
hardly gets what he looks forward to in life. According to PUNCH, Jonathan, who boasted that no party would defeat the
PDP during the 2015 polls said sometimes, things that he did not think about
are the ones he gets.
Jonathan said:
Jonathan said:
“In my own life, the things I look for I hardly get.
It’s what I don’t even think about that I get sometimes. I believe most of you
will smile. But collectively, first and foremost, let us unite the party and
work together for our collective victory.
Let me use this unique opportunity to plead with all of us
who are aspiring for electoral offices that the world does not begin and end with the office
you are looking for. Sometimes, you would be looking for an office, you may not
be able to get it for one reason or the other. Let us say somebody blocked you,
so be it, let somebody block you. But if God wants something better for you,
even after that blocking, you will get something else.
I plead with all of us that we should not play the do-or-die,
except I get it, let the party sink. We are taking inventory of all what is
happening in all the states and I promise that we will try and use as many
people as possible. There are challenges in some states. People may
deliberately block you. You may even be the best candidate in that particular
constituency, but let us move ahead.
I’m yet to see those who can beat the PDP. They will
continue to make the noise but they cannot beat us, because the gap between PDP
and others is very wide. The way we do things and the way they do things are
very different; the way we talk and the way they talk are very different; the
way we reason and the way they reason are very different.
Our commitment to transform this country and their thinking
about Nigeria are very different. And I promise you my party men and women and
indeed all Nigerians that with your support, collectively we must move this
country to where we want it to be. Every day, every week and every month, we
must add something; we must change and continue to change.”
