Support Jonathan’s administration, Mu’azu urges Nigerians

THE National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, has said that if Nigerians can give adequate support to President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, lasting solutions will be proffered to the many problems confronting the country. Mu’azu, who stated this on Thursday at the groundbreaking ceremony of the PDP permanent secretariat in Akwa, Ibom State, noted that insurgency and many other national issues confronting the Federal Government could be addressed with prayers, support and well intended actions from all Nigerians. The PDP national chairman, who laid the foundation stone for the Akwa Ibom State Secretariat of the party and commissioned 31 buses for the 2015 general elections, said the support for President Jonathan’s administration would take the country to another level in terms of development. He called on party members in the state to continue to be loyal by supporting the government in power both at the national and state levels. The state governor, Chief Godswill Akpabio, said that the state was not only supporting President Jonathan’s government but was praying for it to overcome all its challenges. He regretted that in the advanced nations citizens rose in support of their presidents but here in Nigeria, he said the reverse was the case. Akpabio, who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, pledged to work with the national leadership of the PDP towards the success of the party in 2015. He lauded the efforts of the national chairman for stopping the tide of movement of party members to other parties as well as the feat recorded at the just concluded election in Ekiti State.
