Jonathan Will Win Presidential Election At First Ballot -Lar

The founding chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Chief (Dr.) Solomon Lar has predicted a massive win for President Goodluck Jonathan in the April 9th presidential elections.

He said while in an interactive session with the media in Abuja that the PDP Presidential candidate will not only record a landslide victory but will go down in history as the first president of Nigeria to rake-in the highest vote cast.

According to him insinuations in some quarters that the presidential polls will go into a run-off was only a figment of imagination of those he called regional political jobbers desperately looking for cheap public attention.

Lar explained that Goodluck and his running mate Namadi Sambo have worked so hard selling their vision and programme to the people thereby positioning themselves well in the minds of all Nigerians and indeed the electorates.

The first civilian Governor of old Plateau State noted that the unprecedented contact the President had with Nigerians in the cause of his campaign has endeared the people to own the ticket as their own.

“Nobody has touched their lives (Nigerians) like the PDP. Presidential candidate Goodluck is a wonderful Goodluck and the people love him. And so, I know our people will definitely make the correct choice by electing president Goodluck come April 9th. I am positive about that”, he said.

The first republic parliamentarian extolled what he called the human and simple disposition of the PDP Presidential candidate which he said made the people to tap into his aspiration as their real hope into the future.

Lar who is also the Walin Langtang, said he was extremely happy that the country with its multifaceted backgrounds was supportive of collective bargaining to entrench the practice of democracy.

He praised Dr. Goodluck Jonathan for being a truly servant leader whose short tenure in office has witnessed heart-warming changes and transformation.

The elder statesman observed that as a pan-Nigerian political party, PDP will continue to promote the principle of social justice and national cohesion and deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.

“PDP is still PDP. Anything that is not democratic is not PDP”, Chief Lar said.

He  enjoined Nigerians to fully take advantage of what he called the spirit of a new Nigeria by voting enmass to the President and also conduct themselves in an orderly and peaceful manner for the success of the April polls.

The veteran politician and icon of middle belt politics also commended the efforts of the Nigeria Election Debate Group, NEDG, under the aegis of BON to allow presidential candidates interact more meaningful by the broadcast of the debate through local media houses.
