Jonathan ready for Buhari, says PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party has
said President Goodluck Jonathan is
ready to face Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari(retd.) on March 28 for the
presidential election.
While Jonathan is the candidate of
the Peoples Democratic Party,
Buhari is the candidate of the main
opposition party, the All
Progressives Congress.
The APC had alleged that both
Jonathan and his party were
planning to scuttle the elections as
they were alleged not to be ready.
The opposition party claimed that
both the President and the PDP
were afraid that they would be
defeated during the election.
But the Director of Media and
Publicity of the PDP Presidential
Campaign Organsiation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, said that it would be
foolhardy of anyone to say the
President Jonathan was not ready
for the elections.
He also debunked the claim that
the ruling party and the President
were sponsoring some lesser
political parties to call for the shift
of the elections, especially in the
North-East.
Fani-Kayode said, “How can anyone
say we are not ready for the
elections? President Jonathan is
ready to challenge General Buhari
anyway because he’s going to
defeat him. We were ready for the
last election and we are also ready
for this one.
“We have people coming to this
office every day to strategise and
we also have our Legacy House for
the election. Leaders of the party
from the national chairman to other
members of the National Working
Committee are there”
Fani-Kayode also berated former
Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju
Bola Tinubu and the spokesperson
for the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
who he said, were accusing him of
many crimes, including bad health.
He said, “If anybody is to talk about
ill health. They should talk about
themselves and not about me.
“My name is Femi Fani Kayode, and
nobody can kill me before my time.
Nobody can cut me short and I
harbour no fear of violence and I do
not take threats lightly. Neither do I
fear for my life.
“Because I have never shed blood
and I do not believe in violence,
the angel of the Lord will strike that
person dead before they point a
gun at me in Jesus Name.”
Meanwhile, the party has
expressed gratitude to Nigerians
for their renewed solidarity and
overwhelming support for
President Jonathan.
