There was panic in the camp of the Peoples Democratic Party in Abuja on Sunday as President Goodluck Jonathan met with the national leadership of the party behind closed doors.

The panic was said to have come as a result of the gale of defection rocking the party across the country.

The other reason was what a member of the National Working Committee of the party described as the “lacklustre response we have been getting since the beginning of the ongoing presidential campaign.”

The meeting was held at the PDP Presidential Campaign Office, Legacy House, Maitama, Abuja.

Journalists were barred from the meeting which was described as a “family affair.”

It was also learnt that the President and the party leaders were not comfortable with the support the opposition, All Progressives Congress was getting across the country, especially from those leaving the ruling party.

The meeting, it was learnt, examined the circumstances that led to the defection of some members of the party in Plateau State, led by a former Deputy Governor, Mrs. Pauline Tallen and many others to the APC.

One of those who attended the meeting told our correspondent in Abuja that, “You know that we have usually taken each presidential election as a done deal since 1999.

“But now, things have changed. With what we have seen so far from the tours of the southern part of country, we need to work harder to win.”

It was also learnt that the meeting discussed the release of funds to some departments in the campaign organisation, an action which was said to have made many of them inactive.

Meanwhile, as the campaign train of the party move to the northern part of the country on Monday (today), the PDP has said it will win the February 14 presidential election.

A statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in Abuja on Sunday, said that the party was well received in the zone.

He said, “As you are aware, in the last two weeks, the PDP presidential campaign train has visited states in the South-West and South -East geo-political zones of our great country.

“The PDP deeply appreciates Nigerians for their support, goodwill and prayers for our dear President and standard-bearer, President Goodluck Jonathan

We are yet to be told just ONE reason Nigeria should be kept in the present quagmire for another 4 years......

I pray they lose, not because I love the opposition but I want the politicians to take people seriously, give the people the power and credit they deserves.
Nigeria politicians gives too much power to them selves without any considerations to the people they gorvern because they see election as a done deal.

^^^ I'm with you on this........ I also pray APC wins not because Buhari is the best but to prove to Gej and the pdp that all power belongs to God.
That the peoples willpower surpasses the power of incumbency.

Pipe dream. Apc winning in their imagination with unsellable presidential candidate. A serial loser for that matter'

May not necessarily be due to panicking, but re-strategising.

Jonathan don lose already there's no new trick to it?

Na all this Onyeka Onwenu lead Actors and Actress I dey sorry for when bloggers finish them when GEJ lose. Lol

And there shall be disruption in their camp! It's about time we take our destiny in our hands and make a choice not just for ourselves but for our children! They can't rest nor sleep knowing they are losing grounds and their next stop na longtin.. Buhari owns majority votes in the north, who the fu<k is sambo for him own zone self!

Pdp is always panicking

PDP victory ends in the SS / SE. Panic mode they must be.

PDP has lost it already. It is very clear. Now the CHANGE has come. We are tired of nepotism.

PDP will most likely win the election because they have a more national spread than APC. They are more of a national party than the APC, who looks more of a regional party to me

jona must be worried sick. whatever he does between today and feb 13 will determine where he spends the next 4 years of his natural life. it's aso rock against otuoke.
