Jonathan Will Not Be Allowed To Contest in 2019 –PDP Leader

The times have change; PDP can only win
election with a strong candidate, not just a lucky
candidate.
A member of the Board of Trustees of the
Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Ebenezer
Babatope, has said that President Goodluck
Jonathan will not run for the Presidency in 2019
against the APC.
“We have a strong presence in the South-South,
South-East and we have two governors in the
South-West. We are going to slug it out together
in the North in 2019. We are going to flush out
the APC in 2019 because we are going to correct
our mistakes and take back the central
government.
“Jonathan will not contest the 2019 presidential
election. PDP will look for a strong Hausa/Fulani
presidential candidate to contest against
General Muhammadu Buhari.
He said he was sure that the President would
not seek to contest the 2019 presidential
election although “the people of the South-South
have the right to present a candidate for the
election, I’m sure the President will not contest;
He will lead us to against the All Progressives
Congress.”
The former Minister of Transport said PDP’s
National Executive Council, the BoT and Elders’
Caucus would meet soon in Abuja to assess the
outcome of the general elections.
He said, “We are going to restructure our party.
The National Chairman of the party, Alhaji
Adamu Mu’azu, will convene a meeting in two
weeks’ time when we will objectively discuss the
last elections.
“Apart from the grand conspiracy against our
party by the powers that be in the elections, we
are going to tackle the problem of imposition,
which was a great area of mistake on our side.
