Reason Why More Nigerians Will Vote For Jonathan In 2015

Minister of Interior, Abba Morro has given assurance that the gains of
the transformation agenda will give President Goodluck Jonathan an
edge over his challengers at the 2015 polls.
Morro, who stated this in an interview with journalists on Friday in
Makurdi, said Nigerians had started reaping the benefits of the
transformation programme of the government with the revitalisation of
key sectors of the economy.
The minister commended the meticulous manner the president was
handling the insurgency in the country and said his decision to run
for the presidency was in the best interest of the country. He said
that the president was tackling insurgency on three fronts;
engagement, consultation and contentment.
Morro said 2015 elections would determine the next political direction
of the country, stressing that it was important for the electorates to
make the right choice of a president who would take them the next
level.
"Most governors are doing their last tenure, the president will not
run in 2019, therefore the choice of leaders in 2015 will shape the
political direction of the country after the 2015 elections."
The minister dismissed speculations that the defection of speaker
Aminu Tambuwal to the rival APC would jeopardise the political chances
of the PDP, especially in the northern part of the outcry.
He said that the political history of Nigeria was full of defections,
stressing that while Tambuwal was defecting from the PDP to the APC,
some big wigs of the APC were crossing over to the PDP.
He said those who understood the political antecedents of Tambuwal
would not be surprised that he crossed over to the APC.
The minister said Tambuwal had always been on the move, "from the ANPP
he defected to the PDP and now back to the APC which is the precursor
of the ANPP."
He said that the president won his victory in 2011 across party lines
and assured that he would surpass his performance in 2011 by winning a
large margin in 2015.
