PDP Reps endorse Jonathan for 2015
Members of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the
House of Representatives yesterday endorsed President
Goodluck Jonathan to run for the 2015 election.
But Speaker Aminu Tambuwal was absent at the meeting.
Addressing State House correspondents at the Presidential
Villa in Abuja after the meeting with the President, House
Leader Mulikat Adeola-Akande said the caucus passed a
vote of confidence on Jonathan.
She said: “We are the PDP Caucus of the House of
Representatives. A meeting like this is not strange because
we met with the President, who is our leader.
“We deliberated on issues affecting our party. The House
Caucus, on our own, decided to pass a vote of confidence on
Mr. President and also endorse him for second term.”
On whether or not the President accepted, she said: “We did
the endorsement and we are urging him to run for second
term.”
On Tambuwal’s absence, Adeola-Akande said: “I am sure
when you see Mr Speaker, you will ask him. This is a PDP
meeting. Obviously, he will have his reasons why he was not
at the meeting.”
The House Leader said security issues were also discussed
at the meeting and the government received kudos for
efforts to restore peace in trouble spots of the country.
