Guys what are your views and strategy for PDP re-election come 2015

Here is my take:

Jonathan should double his effort on development projects with priority on electricity

Fight through the court with all Presidential might and reclaim their mandate from defecting Governors and NASS members

Go to the North and South West and empower a new generation of Nigerian politicians who want to be given a chance with power in PDP

Consult strongly with the middle belt and have that region locked in terms of votes, Gown and David Mark's body language says a lot!

and frame 2015 election as "The Past vs The Future" because quite frankly that is what it is.

PDP will do THAT THING.

Don't worry. We still would occupy till even after 2019.

Good suggestions. Unfortunately GEJ is no mikeansy. The man is out of touch and quite confused by his 'trusted' advisers and ministers, but if he were to sack Tukur tomorrow, make a scapegoat out of a few known corrupt cabinet members, and then take the steps you've itemized above, then there may be hope for him.

Jonathan should drop his ambition and support David Mark.

David Mark or Namadi Sambo will take over from GEJ in 2019

I am no fan of Bamanga Tukur but sacking him is what Jonathan's enemies want. Those enemies he has lost anyway

There is no need paying a ransom after the terrorist has blown up your house

Jonathan as President has everything he needs to win this fight.

I believe with you on the point that Jonathan has all he needs to win the fight, and also your point on paying a ransom. I think Jonathan is doing exactly what he needs to do to win next election if he so runs. Deliver on his campaign promises and then bunlde the entire club of known corruption merchants like Atiku, OBJ, etc to the opposition and demonize their congregation, raise a new generation of young and vibrant and sagacious people's leaders in his party. This will end the reign of the gods of yesterday and create a huge juxtaposition between a perilous past and a promising future. He should campaign in 2015 with his 2011 campaign catlogue. That is, he should say, this was what I promised you in 2011 so go by yourselves and verify if they're there as promised. If the people can see these things for themselves (which I believe most people are seeing) then no amount of noise or smear campaign can change the mind of the people against Jonathan come 2015. One of the earliest and worst mistakes the opposition has made is to turn itself into a scum bin into which Jonathan funnels all those political ha.gs who have long lost public credibility. However, the opposition will surely win more states and parliamentary seats than ever before come 2015.

Can you fight yourself? NO!!

If we are to vote for that fat nose drunkard base on his promises, then he wont have 1 vote. He better start a new propaganda and spend more on his e-foot soldiers. He should also try to breed new attack dogs.

Who's the future?! The current administration combines,open embrace of misuse of office and a shockingly level of incompetence. Nigeria has never seen these combination before,the incremental progress we require as a fall back option amid decades of massive looting automatically becomes unachievable if incapacity becomes another national issue. We can't afford it.

I believe He came on stage with subtle disadvantage of being a minority : this isn't the usual majority/minority disadvantage, he appeared on the scene with a mindset typical of minorities: little room for compromise and insular inclination.
Minorities are actually more insular when compared to major groups. At least, coming from a major ethnic group would have given him the natural opportunity to understand and learn how a big society runs, the art of compromise and the need for constant scheming.

Abuja isn't Niger-delta or bayelsa,its a massive tent, the president and his mates failed to accept this
mendelow said you have people you have to keep happy,those you have to keep informed ,those you need to engage,and those you can ignore,this administration bundled everyone in one column and ignored them all

If for the love and respect of the dearly departed who died in 2011 because of jonathan's Election...he should think of the possible damage and mass murder that may occur in 2015 and let peace come above his ambition to run. His name would go down in history books as the most respected president if he decides not to run.

may be it wont hurt to advise those who killed their countrymen in the name of election in 2011 to learn to be better loosers in 2015
