President Goodluck Jonathan
President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday told Nigerians, especially electorates from Abia State, that he did not want those who will be antagonising his lofty programmes as members of the National Assembly from May 29.
The President said the people should vote for Peoples Democratic Party candidates that will cooperate with him at the National Assembly.
Jonathan spoke at the Aba Sports Club in Abia State while addressing PDP stakeholders from the state.
He said, “I want you not only to vote for me but also to give me PDP candidates as members of the National Assembly.
“This is because I want those that will cooperate with me, not National Assembly members that will be antagonising Federal Government’s efforts.
“Those ones, every good thing you want to do, they will play politics with it.
“So, I appeal with you to return all PDP members who are contesting; that will help me. It will help budgeting.”
Jonathan said the South-East had remained his strongest support base since he ventured into national politics, saying his campaign office was in 2011 bombed in South-South where he hails from.
He promised that if re-elected on Saturday, he would meet many of the demands that were presented before him during the meeting.
Jonathan said the government was looking at the negative impact of the recent naira devaluation on importers promising that the issue would be sorted out soon.
