The former president of the federal republic of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has finally unveiled his political stand ahead of the 2019 Presidential elections with a key note on his unreserved political disappointment on the vice presidential candidate of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) Mr. Peter Obi.
Jonathan made the statement during the official inauguration of his foundation for the less privileged in Burkins Hall Yanagua ,Balysa state.
According to the former president, the people's Democratic Party has all it takes to win the 2019 presidential election but the choice of the former governor of Anambra state Mr. Peter Obi as her vice Presidential candidate is a monumental disaster and instrument of failure for the party (PDP).
In a fifteen pages key note address delivered by Fmr. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan which was read in part as follows :
"I personally envisage a monumental disaster on the part of the PDP in the forthcoming general election not because the party is such a bad platform but the fact that it made a wrong choice in the person of Mr. Peter Obi.
Jonathan who was celebrated by the entire people of Balyalsa during the occasion advised his people not to be convinced by people who are self sentimental and selfish rather to always consider their ethnic and national political interest before voting as the north has only 4 years to complete her 8 years and thereafter return power to southeast .
The elder stateman further observed that Mr. Peter Obi remains the worst choice his party has made, he assured that Mr. Obi is not acceptable to Ndi Igbo and wonder why such a rejected man was offered the party's flag.
However, many political analyst have been analyzing the silence of president Jonathan especially as it regards the 2019 general election which was today confirmed via his confessional statement where he expressed disappointment on certain issues including the choice of Obi.
With the above vote of no confidence passed against) Peter Obi by Jonathan and the good people of South south, the PDP has remained an unfortunate destination without direction and a ship without a captain.
