Jonathan who spoke at a presidential rally of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said that there will be no governorship election in Delta State come next April.
Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan’s victory in the April 14, 2007 was annulled by Justice Monica Dongba-Mensah of the Appeal Court, Benin , Edo State last November 9 but won the re-run election on January 6.

Is GEJ serious? I think this man is already showing his true colors not having won any elections yet. SW governors are rascals, Uduaghan will get 8 years because he was found to have won the first election fraudulently (and we all know that no real elections happened the second time). What next? Ibori returns with fanfare, Olabode George goes from Prison to Campaign Head in Lagos, etc.

The man is not serious!!!

April Polls: Jonathan Hails Court Verdict On Five Govs .

.PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Asaba hailed last Wednesday’s judgment of  the Federal High Court which ruled that governors whose elections were annulled and subsequently won re-run elections, did have fresh mandates.

Jonathan who spoke at a presidential rally of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said that there will be no governorship election in Delta State come next April.
Delta State Governor, Emmanuel Uduaghan’s victory in the April 14, 2007 was annulled by Justice Monica Dongba-Mensah of the Appeal Court, Benin , Edo State last November 9 but won the re-run election on January 6.

According to him, the judgment meant that the party’s efforts were not in vain and equally rubbished the notion of the opposition parties that the affected governors efforts were only buying time.

For Vice President Namadi Sambo, as at today, there is no candidate of any party as qualified as Jonathan to lead Nigeria to the promised land, maintaining that the president is an honest, transparent, patriotic, detribalized man who incidentally is the first Nigerian president with a doctorate degree.

Former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih yesterday took a swipe at the opposition parties for not preparing for the April polls, insisting that while the PDP was working hard, other parties were already preparing to go to court to challenge the impending victory of the ruling party.

Anenih remarked that the impending victory of the PDP in the next election would be so transparent that anybody that goes to court to challenge it will merely be wasting his time.

The former Minister of Works said that President Jonathan and his running mate, Vice President Namadi Sambo have gone round the six geo-political zones and to 12 states wooing voters across the country campaigning whereas the opposition candidates are yet to start their campaigns less than two months to the April 9 presidential election.

He said: “While we are busy campaigning all over the country, others are already busy preparing to challenge the victory of the PDP in an election that has not yet been held. We are waiting for them.”

Sambo described Jonathan as a detribalized, educated, humble and patriotic Nigerian who means well for the progress and unity of the country.

With his support as an architect, he said that they are determined to change Nigeria for the better if elected to pilot the affairs of the country for the next four years
Sambo said: “It is true the president is from the South South, an oil producing zone. Not that Nigerians want him based on that, but because he does not believe in ethnicity. He does not look at that before he gives anybody any assistance and God has a reason to make him a consensus candidate.”

Ironically, the gathering of the heavy weights of the PDP brought together the different feuding factions of the PDP in the state such as Ijaw leader, Chief Edwin Clark and his resolute opponent, Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan. 

Also present at the rally which took place at the Cenotaph, Asaba were the party’s Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Haliru Bello; Cross River State Governor, Liyel Imoke; his Enugu State counterpart, Mr. Sullivan Chime and a host of others.

Na wah. This is so dis-heartening, but we shall see

What do you expect from a PDP man
At least we are seeing that all these claim of fresh air is a ruse. How can you be fresh while wallowing in a cesspit

PDP = GEJ = Dry dusty desert wind that will blow no good to Nigeria!

GEJ hailed the decision of a Federal High Court, I don't see the big deal. Should the President be lawless, condemn and ride roughshod over the law instead?
When PDP govs lost to court cases, did he interfere? We should be happy that the rule of law means something to this govt, unlike what obtained in all past ones.

It seems a bit strange to blame GEJ when we do not like a ruling by the Federal High Court. I wonder when he became a High Court Judge to be blamed for rulings that are unpopular to some?

There should be elections in Delta state because the rerun came after the amendment of the constitution, abi, GEJ no check with his peeps before the comment? I do not have a problem with the court ruling, it is the house that should have amended that rubbish clause in 1999.
