Jonathan’s Emergence As PDP Sole Candidate Historic – TAN

The Bayelsa State chapter of Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, on Thursday described as historic, the ratification of President Goodluck Jonathan’s sole candidacy by the Peoples Democratic Party during the ruling party’s national convention in Abuja on Wednesday.

TAN said the emergence of President Jonathan as the PDP consensus candidate for the 2015 election was commendable.

The state Coordinator of the group, Mr. Werinipre Seibarugu, commended the leadership of the PDP for making Jonathan the first incumbent to have been returned unopposed.

The Bayelsa TAN boss said the decision of the various organs of the PDP, including the National Working Committee, Board of Trustees, National Executive Committee and the PDP Governors’ Forum, to adopt Jonathan as a consensus candidate was a welcome development.

Seibarugu, in a statement issued in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital on Thursday by the state Director of Media and Publicity, Chief Nathan Egba, said the sustained sensitization and mobilization of over 17million signatures by TAN across the six geo-political zones was also commendable.

He said, “We commend the various party machinery of the PDP for championing the emergence of President Goodluck Jonathan as a consensus candidate.

“We commend the national leadership of the TAN for its sensitisation and mobilisation of the over 17 million signatures, which obviously contributed in ensuring that the President seeks re-election".
