“Jonathan’s Emergence As PDP Candidate Will Be A Walkover For APC” – Ondo Senator

Senator representing Ondo State Northern Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Prof. Ajayi Borrofice at the weekend said it will be a walkover for the All Progressives Congress (APC) if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) picks President Goodluck Jonathan as its candidate in 2015 general elections.


The Senator noted that it is the prayer of his party that Jonathan emerges as PDP presidential flagbearer, adding that this would be a pre-victory and celebration gallore for APC members if their prayer is answered.


Borrofice said this while speaking with reporters at his hometown in Oka-Akoko, Akoko South West local government area of Ondo State during his empowerment programme for the peoples of his senatorial district.

At the event, which was attended by APC State executives led by Isaac Kekemeke, over 300 people were empowered with 50 Keke Napep, 45 Petrol Generators, 45 Grinding Machines, 15 Sewing Machines, 12 Wheel Chairs, 20 Cars/Buses among others.

Borrofice insisted that Jonathan would be the first incumbent President to be defeated by opposition party due to the expression of the masses about his administration. His words...

“We are praying he declares his ambition. Let him contest and emerge as PDP candidate. It will be so easy for APC to defeat him. His administration has failed, Nigerians are tired of a government that had brought much pain and they do not want continuity.

“People are being killed on a daily basis and the President could not find a solution to this. Unemployment rate is very high and we are yet to forget what happened during the last immigration aptitude test where scores of Nigerian unemployed youth lost their lives.

“Both the young and the old ones are dying just because poor health sector and corruption has been legalized. Those who kicked against the President ruling style are seen as enemies of the nation. So these are reasons why it will be an easy ride for APC in 2015 if Jonathan is picked as PDP candidate. Nigerians are watching with keen interest and they believe the best way to change bad leadership is through their votes in 2015.

The senator also advised the President to do everything possible to secure the release of the abducted Chibok schoolgirls by members of Boko Haram, noting that their lives were too important for the nation to toy with.

While urging his people to allow him to represent them at the Senate for second term, Borrofice said the essence of the empowerment was to take back to the members of his constituents who worked hard to get him elected as a Senator so that they would have some economy capability to sustain themselves.

He added that the programme was also used to reward APC members in the Senatorial District, which according to him, would motivate them to work harder for the party as election year draws nearer.
