The Lagos State House of Assembly has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of sponsoring some endorsement requesting his re-election in the forthcoming 2015 election.

According to the lawmakers in a statement signed by their Spokesman, Segun Olulade, the series of paid endorsement of Jonathan for second term by some groups are just mere demonstration of the deep fears and trepidation been nursed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the 2015 general elections beckons by the day.

The House maintained that such endorsements are no threats to the victory chances of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its candidates in the coming elections.

The endorsement of Jonathan by the Southwest caucus of the PDP in Lagos on Tuesday, according to the House, “can in no way prevent the APC from taking over from the PDP come 2015.

The statement pointed out that the poor performance rating of the Jonathan administration in addressing the various challenges facing the country as well as the incessant crises that have rocked the PDP structures nationally and in many states of the federation, have made its leaders to become more desperate and intrepid, making them to resort to crude ploys aimed at cajoling Nigerians and the rest of the world that all is well with the country.

Olulade in the statement stressed that “Nigerians are not only tired of the PDP but are well prepared to carry the banner of the APC as a better alternative to the ruling PDP”, adding that “the APC will not only win elections in over 30 states of the federation but also at the Centre come 2015.”

The lawmakers pointed out that the APC symbolises change in all ramifications. “It is the party that is capable of restoring the lost hopes and redeeming the bad image of Nigeria in the comity of nations. The great transformation going on in the ACN-controlled states, the giant strides of the Rochas OKorocha administration in Imo State as well as the performance of ANPP and CPC Governors in their respective states are eloquent testimonies to the chances of the APC to defeat the PDP come 2015,” the statement read in part.

Olulade took exception to the reasons adduced by the PDP South-West caucus for endorsing Jonathan for second term, saying “it is ridiculous and laughable for the PDP to have described Jonathan as someone with exceptional leadership qualities in spite of the huge failure of his administration in moving the country forward.”

He also reacted to the statement made by the Chairman of Caretaker Committee of the Southwest PDP, Chief Ishola Filani who accused the ACN of poaching PDP members to field them as candidates during elections. He said the allegation is frivolous and it can only be a figment of Filani’s imagination.

Olulade added that contrary to the allegation against the ACN, “it is the members of PDP themselves who migrate to the ACN when they realised that the PDP does not have any credibility or integrity whatsoever that could help them to realize their political aspirations.

“PDP members often turn to ACN to seek for refuge and political survival having realized the reactionary and retrogressive tendencies of the PDP,” said Olulade.

The House added that ACN, and indeed the APC will continue to welcome all repentant members of PDP to its fold in as much as they are ready to conform with the progressive posture of the party.
