The Presidency yesterday said its pre-election survey has revealed an overwhelming victory for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2015 election.
It also claimed that the support base across the nation for President Jonathan show his acceptability and possible win in not less than 30 states of the federation.
The Special Adviser on Political Affairs to the President, Prof. Ahmed Rufa’i Alkali made this known yesterday in Abuja while speaking with journalists.
Prof. Alkali said nobody should be surprised by the wide margin by which Mr. Jonathan will win the next presidential election because all his supporters will work hard to ensure it happens without recourse to rigging.
He also said that judging by permutation and survey conducted by the president’s committed well-wishers, it has become certain that the he will ride on the goodwill enjoyed across the country.
“If it is not President Jonathan, the question is; who will Nigerians trust at this critical and very testy time of Nigeria’s history as a nation. President Jonathan in the past few months has weathered the storm. He has made huge sacrifices. He had been exposed to terrible political oscillations while being denigrated severally by ill-informed and arm-chair critics, just for standing in defence of the corporate entity of Nigeria. Yet, the President remained standing and resolute never to give up on Nigeria.
“Who can Nigerians trust if not the President who has been able to blend the virtues of humility and calmness in leadership while also exercising uncommon boldness in tackling strange and nerve-wrecking challenges that had never confronted any past regime in the country”, Alkali said.
The presidential aide said he was sure the president’s supporters including women and the teeming majority of Nigerian youths, who constitute over 60 percent of voters in Nigeria, will not fail to cast their votes for Jonathan in 2015 election.
