President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday fired back at the main opposition political party, describing the ruling PDP as a party of democrats and not the opposition political party whom he described as a party of hooligans and renegades.
He also charged the APC Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari to showcase his democratic credentials.
Speaking at the inauguration of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, the President said, "You must always remember that we are a party of democrats, not a party of hooligans. We are a party of patriots, not a party of renegades. We are a party of statesmen and women. We are a party of builders, not destroyers. We are a party of committed servants of the people. You must let our people see once again that we are in this to serve and to move Nigeria forward, not to move Nigeria backwards."
The President said that he is fully convinced that the campaign team will work as a team, and that it has all that it takes - "the passion, intellect, drive, commitment, and the know-how to run a focused, robust and purposeful campaign that will further endear our ticket to the electorate and bring us victory once again. Many of you are tested veterans of political campaigns.
"As we embark formally on the campaigns for our re-election, our party, the People’s Democratic Party, will depend on you. I am also personally counting on you. I ask you to take on this assignment for your great party, for Goodluck Jonathan and Namadi Sambo, and also, more importantly, for the country as a whole."
