President Goodluck Jonathan, who is gunning for a re-election on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) platform has chosen Lagos State, South-west Nigeria, as the state to host his kick-off campaign.

The campaign committee of the party said the event would hold at the Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos today.

The PDP said its candidate is running on the record of his performance, which the party said ranges from turnaround of the agricultural sector, transportation and road networking across the country.

The PDP had ratified the choice of President Jonathan as the party’s presidential candidate in the February 2015 presidential election. Jonathan’s candidacy was ratified at the National Convention of the party that was held in December at the Eagles Square in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

He polled 2,812 ‘YES’ votes to get the needed support from the party in a result that was announced in the early hours of December 11, 2014.

Jonathan had earlier been chosen as the sole candidate of the party, a development that did not go down well with some members of the party who had the intention of vying for the ticket.

Jonathan, in his acceptance speech as the PDP presidential candidate, assured his supporters and Nigerians that he will not let them down. He also announced Vice-President Namadi Sambo as his running mate in the election, promising that the 2015 elections would hold in all the 36 states of the federation.
He observed that the convention of the PDP that brought him as the presidential candidate was held on Human Rights Day and reiterated that no Nigerian would go on exile for holding contrary views under his administration.

Meanwhile, the president has suspended the inauguration of his presidential campaign committee billed to hold at 2:00pm yesterday, following the death of his younger sister, Mrs. Nancy Jonathan-Obei.

The dignitaries, who had gone to the Legacy House, the president’s campaign headquarters in Maitama, waited until 3:00pm for the arrival of the president, only to be told that the inauguration had been suspended.

Special Adviser to the president on Political Matters, Professor Rufai Alkali, who announced the suspension of the inauguration, said in view of the death of the president’s sister, the campaign organisation had decided to suspend the inauguration.

He said the inauguration had, accordingly, been shifted to this afternoon.[/b]

He did a lot in Lagos.
You should be helping Buhari to compile what he did in Lagos as Head of state and PTF chairman.

Apc Thrives on the media. On ground,PDP all the way.
By Feb 2015,APC would have learnt a lesson of lifetime. They will be forced to understand that politics of Nigeria is not an online politics but on ground politics.
Sai GEJ!

Interesting. But after Nyanya bombing, he still went the next day to dance on stage with his campaign?

Nigerians have reacted with outrage over President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to Kano to welcome former governor of the state, Ibrahim Shekarau, to the Peoples Democratic Party, a day after a car bomb killed dozens of Nigeria and injured several others in a suburb of Abuja.

The government said 75 people died while 124 others were injured although body count by witnesses and a PREMIUM TIMES reporter suggest over 200 Nigerians were killed.

Insensitive, irresponsible, terrible, and wicked are some of the words that have been used to describe the president’s political visit to Kano.

“Let’s face it, is it even proper, as a father, for the president to be dancing at a rally and clinking glasses at a chief’s party just the day after?” said Betty Abah, journalist and activist. “What really would happen if he sends representatives while he pretends he’s meeting security chiefs? Even if he doesn’t care, is this even good for his image? What message is he sending out? He did same during the Centenary celebrations. How do you explain this crass insensitivity?”

“It is plain insensitive, really. It an evident that the leadership of this country does not take our lives seriously at all,” said activist lawyer, Bamidele Aturu.

“Over 200 people were killed by Boko Haram insurgents. Less than 24 hours later, the president was in Kano on political mission. That tells you they don’t take us seriously and our lives don’t count for much. That is the height of insensitivity I have seen in recent times,” he continued.

“He wouldn’t have lost anything if he had postponed the campaign for another one or two months and let the people who are bereaved come to terms with the gruesome reality,” he added.

Mr. Aturu said the President’s action showed the huge disconnect between Nigerians and their political leaders.

“Our people need to understand that there is a big disconnect between them and the people that leads them who only require them to vote to be in power.”

He said the president’s action, if done in other countries, could have cost him his job.

“This kind of things would not happen elsewhere. In other countries the president can even be impeached for what he has done. It is terrible. For him to embark on that trip show clearly that for him politics is more important than the lives of Nigerians.”

“It is very insensitive and irresponsible,” said another lawyer, Festus Keyamo.

“That is a sign that the government does not value the lives of Nigerians. As a matter of fact it is confirmation that the present system actually enjoys the pogrom that is going on in that part of the country. It is very condemnable that the president could not even declare a day of national mourning after we have lost about 200 lives,” said Chairman of CACOL, Debo Adeniran.

“The president is not thoughtful; the president seems to be sadistic, enjoying the show of bloodletting. Our president doesn’t care. You know he said the other time that he doesn’t give a damn. He doesn’t give a damn whatever Nigerians say, he doesn’t give a damn about our feelings of agony, he doesn’t give a damn about those who are suffering the pains and pangs of the carnage going on in some parts of the country.”

The Governor of Kano State, Rabiu Kwankwaso, also chided the president for being insensitive to the lives lost in he blast.

Bitterleafsoup:

Please don't twist the truth. Lagos is refusing to pay doctors for the period they were on strike. As long as they work, they get paid. Is that such a terrible thing? In private practice would they expect salary for periods when they are on strike?

http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=83661
Following the recently suspended strike by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), the Lagos state government has refused to pay working in its employment salaries for the period the strike was on.

The Lagos State government said its action was in compliance to its “no work, no pay policy.”

Well Lagosians must have their share of 21b, cos it won't be waste of money alone but it will be a fruitless effort.
Anyway Good thinking bad product

SweetJoystick:

Even your moniker shows how daft all these APC supporters clicking likes on Nairaland are. I saw a supposed Nice comment talking about 'buhari's manifesto' very few people liked it but the one saying 'kick the clueless to otuoke' just receiving many likes. APC has nothing to present only insults.

Insha Allah, Jimi Agbaje shall be sworn in as the next Governor of Lagos State comes May 29th 2015.

Who cares?
