There were indications that President Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP National Working Committee, NWC, may have succumbed to the aggrieved senators’ demand for automatic ticket in the 2015 polls.

The Presidency is very sensitive over any matter that could mar the re-election of President Jonathan in 2015 and quickly responds to disputes or apathy raised by top party cliques in order to accommodate and carry the entire party along as they now say in political parlance.

Shortly after allowing state governors to control the party structures in their various states as far as the elections were concerned serving senators mounted pressure to have their way too.
The PDP-led Senate had abruptly adjourned plenary last week, over alleged hijack of electoral materials for the recently conducted ward congresses by the governors thereby making their re-election bids and even aspirations for other political positions difficult. And they also threatened to support the APC and impeach President Jonathan...

The implication of the party’s decision to also allow the senators continue would be that some of the nine serving governors like Theodore Orji of Abia State and his counterparts in Benue – Gabriel Suswam; Enugu- Sullivan Chime; Delta- Dr Emmanuel Uduaghan; Ebonyi- Martin Elechi; Akwa Ibom- Godwill Akpabio; Katsina – Ibrahim Shema; Kebbi Aliyu Dakinbari and Plateau- Jonah Jang may after all miss the opportunity of going to the Senate following party decisions.

This was even as the hide- and- seek game between the party and former President Olusegun Obasanjo continues with about 1000 of Obasanjo’s supporters led by the former national treasurer and Obasanjo’s strong ally, Bode Mustapha defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Ogun State yesterday following the frosty relation between him and the national leadership of the PDP.

Obasanjo had earlier in the year said on Channels Television that he bore no grudge against anybody in the PDP, but expressed his displeasure with the choice of Mr Buruji Kashamu as the Chairman, Mobilisation and Organisation committee of the party in the South-West.

“As a former President of Nigeria, the Chairman of West African Commission on Drug and a member of the Global Commission on Drug, I cannot accept that the zonal leader of my political party and, worse still in my zone, will be an indicted drug baron wanted in America. How do I explain that to friends outside Nigeria? This is only one of the many issues that I have pointed out and still pointing out,” he said, while giving a reason for his seeming withdrawal from the party’s national activities.

According to him, he had a “national and international standard to maintain and reputation to keep and sustain.”

However, the Senate President, David Mark led other aggrieved PDP senators to the meeting with Jonathan and the NWC of the PDP led by the national Chairman of the party, Alhaji Adamu Muazu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Thursday night.

One of the senators who was part of the meeting between Jonathan and the national leadership of the party told Vanguard that both parties agreed that the senators would be allowed automatic tickets to contest the 2015 general elections.

He said, “After listening to our grievances, President Jonathan showed understanding of our plight and assured that any of us that had shown interest to return to the National assembly would have the ticket.

“This is a welcome development; a situation whereby about seventy five percent of serving senators are given automatic tickets by the party to return after elections will strengthen our democracy,” the senator said.

Another source also hinted that the deliberation was fruitful as the party’s NWC was mandated to work out the modality which would ensure that the senators were returned in the 2015 without causing more crises within the party.

It was gathered that Jonathan and the PDP’s NWC had to concede to the demand of the senators to ensure that the harmonious relationship between the president and the senate continued, bearing in mind that the senate had always supported the presidency during critical times.

In my father's (PDP) house there are so many mansions. Gov Akpabio.

Everybody is happy in PDP.
It was a family affair!

Nothing for APC

Some people are pathetic. "who's afraid of Buhari", "the fear of APC" they keep saying, very funny. Instead of campaigning keep wasting your time saying jonathan is clueless and other such statements as the above u ll soon come to terms with a Jonathan president till 2019.

Write and receive applause in nairaland. By 15th of February 2015 u ll realise that Nigeria and nairaland represent two different things.

Make yourself happy call Gej a goat or whatever pleases u, he will b voted in. Perhaps some of you who have pledged suicide will by then oblige us the entertainment.
The fear of APC, fear of Buhari heheee! I mean who fears walking copses.

Every one is cashing in on this clueless and indecisive leader and are just using his desperation as a ladder to climb into various political portfolio.
Shebi Emeka Ihedioha who knew he will come 5th if primaries were held in Imo state also planned with his boss Tambuwal to extract endorsement from GEJ before commencing impeachment proceedings.

75% of Nigerians wallowing in abject poverty. 24% picking crumps and 1% happy in PDP. Fear God o!

Tomorrow someone will tell us that INEC helping Jonathan to smuggle back Senators that signed a Pack with Jonathan is a Free, Fair and Credible Elections. Shm.

If the kind of mindset portrayed by APC fans on NL in anyway represent the general position of their leaders, then it will be very safe to conclude that APC is even more ideologically weak than many thought.

What exactly is the fear of APC? In a democracy? Fear unto what end? The very unlikely worst that can happen is for APC to win 2015 Presidential election, even the sound of it sounds very unlikely. So what is the fear for? Heck! We are talking about a political party that has already conceded defeat in 2 of Nigeria's 6 geopolitical zones based on perception of massive support of the President in those areas and goes ahead to malign people from the strongest support base of the PDP on daily basis, meaning that they are not even willing to engage those people on ideas or persuade them. They rather sit behind their keyboards and spin out ridiculous permutations on how Buhari will win the 'North' and Fashola/Tinubu will win the 'South West'. What else is chest beating if not this pedestrian approach to politics?

This is actually why Atiku has my greatest respect in that party, because he is a politician who never lose any base before elections. I wonder how he roll with these loud mouths because they go directly against every of his relatively more mature political positions.

APC should not glory on who is afraid of them. They should fold their sleeves and get to work, the work of convincing voters, not by insulting their country, their President, the country's armed forces and travelling to UK to malign her own country.

Guy, check the source now "Entertainment News". They might just be entertaining you!

Politics is indeed a funny game. But I don't know. Maybe am missing something. Is there anything to fear about the Agberos (APC)?

If it was fabricated & shared by you, can one safely conclude that apart from being clueless you are also shameless about your clueless situation

I think you missed the point:
He didn't mean. "Mansions" in the proper sense but rather the figurative sense

You should pay more attention to your English Literature lessons as you could "hear or read but not understand" otherwise.

No insult meant, just an advise from a big brother!

There will be free and fair election.
What PDP doing now is their INTERNAL arrangement then they will present their candidates for Nigerians to elect them.

Ask the opposition to present a better candidate and they will win instead of PDP.

Come to America and see it happening everyday: expands to candidates, contracts, businesses and even wars (keeps Big Defence Industry in Business) etc etc
