Goodluck Jonathan Goodluck Jonathan[/caption] President Goodluck Jonathan has accepted the endorsement of various organs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the sole candidate for the 2015 presidential election. Speaking at the National Executive Committee meeting of the party where the adoption was consumated, the President thanked every member of the ruling party for reposing such great confidence in him. He said, “Let me really say that the events of yesterday, starting with BoT meeting last night and what has just happened today, with the various motions adopting me as sole candidate of the party has really humbled me. “Let me specially thank our governors that initiated that action, let me thank members of BoT, let me thank the senate president and members of the National Assembly, let me appreciate the PDP women for their position and the NEC, because no matter whatever anybody does, if NEC, you will be on your own. ” Adopting me as the sole candidate of the party has humbled. me; I am totally overwhelmed. When the governors came up in a jointly signed paper, though House of Representatives started it, governors intervention was like an atomic bomb, I commend all departments of the NEC. “I am so overwhelmed that I lack words to express myslef. I leave it for another day. For today, for you to have that kind of confidence, I am extremely challenged. It means that whatever we had done inthe past three years, we tripple it. That is the only way Nigerians will appreciate it. I promise I will not disappoint you.” *Source thecallng]]>
