The Presidency on Sunday said it was painful that the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party lost the Saturday’s
governorship election in Osun State to the All Progressives
Congress.
Special Adviser to President Jonathan on Political Affairs,
Prof. Rufa’i Alkali, said this while conducting a facility
tour on Goodluck 2 Goodluck (G2G) 2015 Project
national headquarters in Abuja.
He said. “Today we would have celebrated Osun victory. It
is however, a very painful day for us because the PDP
candidate and the party had completed their home work
and we know the people of Osun are tired of what is
happening in the state, but here we are.
“I hope the APC, which is in the habit of complaining of
having security agencies in ensuring enabling
environment for election and is consistent in controversy
and rejecting election results, will reject this Osun state
gubernatorial election result.”
He however commended Independent National Electoral
Commission and the security agencies for the roles they
played in delivering a credible election in Osun.
Speaking on the groups canvassing for the reelection of
President Jonathan in 2015, the Special Adviser said
“Since assumption of office, we inherited 3,000 Goodluck
Support groups, some have been existing and some are
new, and we felt it is only those that are serious, and that
we know each and every one of them, in faces, not only on
papers, know what they can do and how we can
collaborate with them.
The national coordinator of G2G and former governorship
candidate of PDP in Edo state, Gen. Charles Airhiavbere
(retd.) vowed that President Jonathan would return in
2015.
“Our target is 50 million volunteers to mobilise so as to
ensure that President Jonathan wins in 2015,” he said.
