Youth wing of the
Peoples Democratic Party has asked President Goodluck Jonathan to resign
if he is bereft of ideas instead of denying sponsorship of posters for
his second term, which surfaced in Abuja on New Year’s day.
The group, in an
electronic mail on Thursday, said since the the President assumed
office, he had not shown any competence to solve the several problems
bedevilling the nation.
The statement was signed by its Publicity Director, Comrade Bala Usman, and its National Director, Mr. Fidelis Uzoka.
Jonathan’s 2015 posters were seen in several places including the Peoples Democratic Party headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday.
The statement was
entitled, ‘What will Jonathan gain by digging the grave of our great
party, the PDP?’ and ‘Resign if you have run out of luck and ideas’.
The group said the time had come to save the PDP from the President.
It said, “The event of
the last few days has ignited outrage and public condemnation because of
the deliberate and well-calculated commencement of a presidential
campaign by President Jonathan even in the face of his so-called ban on
political activities.
“This is an unwarranted
test of the will and patience of Nigerians, who tried to exhibit high
level of tolerance of an administration which seems in the last two
years to have lost the focus of true leadership and proper understanding
of the ideals of our party’s founding fathers.”
Though the group said it
believed that every member of the party was entitled to seek
re-election, it said the display of the President’s posters was capable
of destroying the party’s unity.
The group added that
almost two years in office, “Mr. President has not shown the will and
competence to solve the many problems of our country for which Nigerians
entrusted him with their mandate.”
