You Will Lose If You Run In 2015, Rivers APC Warns Jonathan

October 20, 2014

In a statement signed by its chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the chapter said, “The handwriting is already on the wall for President Jonathan in view of the calibre of leaders and unprecedented masses that attended the historic declaration of General Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2015 presidential election. It has therefore become imperative for President Jonathan to start writing his handover notes as his game is up.”

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has reiterated that President Goodluck Jonathan will lose if he allows himself to be deceived into seeking re-election next year.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the chapter said, “The handwriting is already on the wall for President Jonathan in view of the calibre of leaders and unprecedented masses that attended the historic declaration of General Muhammadu Buhari to contest the 2015 presidential election. It has therefore become imperative for President Jonathan to start writing his handover notes as his game is up.”

It drew attention to a recent statement by Mr. Jonathan in which the president said, “In deciding on an appropriate response to such calls, I will place the greater interests of national harmony, cohesion, unity, security, political stability, progress, equity, justice and fairness above any personal ambition or sectional agenda,’” saying that statement made clear why he is scared and reluctant to accept the calls to run.

“We must commend him for this wise stand as he knows that his contesting will not be in the greatest interest of national harmony. He must, therefore, perish the thought if he really loves Nigeria and wishes to promote the greatest interest of national harmony.”

It warned that should he however succumb to the pressure of haters of Nigeria to contest the 2015 election, he should prepare to be the first sitting President to lose a general election since there is no basis whatsoever for him to win any election again as his record card shows that he is a failure. “Today, Nigeria has never had it so bad as the present leadership under Jonathan has inflicted unimaginable suffering on Nigerians,” APC Rivers said.

It aligned itself with the positon of its Leader, Governor Chibuike Amaechi, who recently asked President Jonathan from where he intends to get the votes that will get him elected in 2015 knowing that he has lost Lagos, Kano and Rivers states before the election as rigging will not be considered for the 2015 general election. 

“For us as APC, we will line up behind the party. Go back home now and get your voters cards. We will punish these people. Rivers State is not in their hands. Lagos State is not in their hands. Kano State is not in their hands. So, tell me where we are going? They are banking on using security against us. We shall teach them a lesson. We will fight with our body, with our lives because there must be change this time.”
