Jonathan Says PDP Is The Only Stable Party In Nigeria

President Goodluck Jonathan has promised that the Peoples Democratic Party will continue to provide good governance for Nigeria, adding that the party is unshakeable by any opposition party. While addressing the party members at the PDP Special National Convention at the Eagles Square, Abuja, the President reiterated that the programmes and agenda of the party which have been its yardstick of operation since coming to power, has not changed and will never change. He hinted that the party is not threatened by any opposition mushroom party springing up ahead of the 2015 elections, either registered or yet to be registered, as he urged members of the party to join hands with the administration to chat a new course. He said the PDP will “become a stronger and renewed party” which will bring hope for the people of Nigeria. “It is very clear, we are the party destined to take Nigeria to greatness; we are the party that holds the interest of Nigeria dearly at heart “We do not pursue divisible policies; we do not preach hate; we reject violence; we reject killings; we recognise Nigeria as one indivisible entity as we deplore ethnic distrust among our great people, for we are one people under one umbrella in this republic”. The added that the party will restore the hopes and ambitions of Nigerians, not minding class or status, giving hope to the hopeless. “In the PDP, we fight against poverty, not the poor. In the PDP, we attack destitution, not the destitute. In the PDP, we believe in the tenets of democracy and development; this is who we are.” He maintained that the ruling party is ready to protect and preserve the unity of the country and fight against those who threaten the nation in whatever circumstance. As a way of affirming the stability of the PDP, the President asked party members if the party has changed its name, logo, slogan, motto and vision since it was formed, and the gathering responded saying ‘No’. “So you can see that PDP is the only stable party. It’s the only stable party from 1998 till date”.
