President Goodluck Jonathan has said that PDP has produced wealthy nigerias.
According to Daily Trust, he made this remark at the PDP Fund Raising Dinner for his re-election at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa on Saturday night. Over N21billion was realized at the dinner.
The president said: “This party, as you all know, is a business-friendly party. The government of PDP encourages policies and will come up with programmes and policies that will promote enterprise and industry. We believe we must encourage commercial activities. And within this period that the PDP has been ruling, we’ve actually created a number of millionaires and billionaires.”
Jonathan used the opportunity to appeal to all aspirants of the party aggrieved by the conduct of its primaries nationwide not to leave the party.
Many of the party’s aspirants have defected to other parties and others threatened to either do same or work against the PDP during the 2015 general elections. They are all alleging irregularities and imposition of candidates at the primaries.
President Jonathan pleaded with all aggrieved aspirants to remain in the PDP, saying the leadership of the party was striving hard to resolve the grievances.
However, the President noted that all the cases might not be resolved to the satisfaction of affected aspirants, saying the PDP would be guided by the issues raised when preparing for the 2019 primary elections.
However Nigerians have reacted negatively to the fact that over N21b was donated for President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election in 2015.
