President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday unveiled his preference for a two-party state with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and just one other party contesting the 2015 elections.

Addressing the PDP NEC meeting in Abuja the president said that the dominance of the party had forced opposition parties to come together, which he said would help stabilise the polity.

He said: “One good thing that Nigerians should commend PDP for now is that if you look at the evolution of political parties, it is now stable.

Before, when elections are coming, by now you will be hearing about new parties being formed and at a time, the ballot paper was becoming too long, INEC was finding a way of deregistering parties.

“Because PDP has come on very strong, no matter the criticism they are criticising us, they know that we are very strong and they realise that what they need to do is not forming new parties but parties coming together. So, we are helping to stabilise the polity. “We will encourage them to come together the more.

We want a situation where it is PDP versus one. In that case, the polity will be more stable. Even our members will be more loyal to the party because you will have nowhere to go. “So, Nigerians should commend PDP. If PDP were weak, people wouldn’t have gathered together.

There wouldn’t have been any reason for parties to come together to fight PDP. But when you have so many parties on their own they know they cannot face us until they come together then you know that we are formidable. “And PDP will become stronger and no matter the gang up, I don’t see how they can uproot the PDP,” he stressed.

The President also assured of a robust economy, adding that top global investors who met with him recently expressed readiness to invest in the nation’s economy, which he noted would boost employment and reduce youth restiveness.

He however condemned the spate of violence going on in the country including robbery, kidnapping and ethnic clashes which he said was dangerous for the country.

Jonathan said: “We are all aware of the issues of kidnapping in southern part of the country; the excesses of terrorist groups in some parts of the North and the steps taken by government are known to all of us. “But one key thing sometimes that gets people confused about Boko Haram is this communal conflicts and ethnic cleansing.

Buhari/Fashola 2015-2019

This combination always makes the best of Fashola's fans puke. Fashola, a very intelligent man who has worked hard and produced results is barred from contesting the presidency because one almost illiterate, power hungry terrorist sympathiser has an unending desire to rule Nigeria.

Why not Fashola on top of the ticket.

And his PDP is not a part of the country ni?

Fashola alone cannot clinch the Presidency because of the the current polarization in Nigeria. Buhari is an upright man with is well accepted in the North too. And if the Northern leaders really want power back to the North, a little support for the ticket is a landslide victory. (Their only fear is that Buhari will not think twice to haul them to jail if convicted).

And for your hatred for Buhari, you can chock on it.

For me, I want a second term for Rochas, Soludo for Anambra and Chime handing Enugu to another performer. With security and good leadership, Ndigbo can do well. Everything else can go suck their balls.

SO THEY CAN REMOTE CONTROL ELECTIONS ABI.MULTI PARTY ROCKS.ITS SLOWER BUT ITS SAFER.E GIFT UR HEAD DE DIA.HOPE WE CAN CONVINCE ENOUGH PPL TO VOTE FOR THE GENERAL SO THIS CORRUPTION THINGY CAN BE REDUCED TO BAREST MINIMUM
