Tony Anenih, the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, has implored Nigerians to abandon the notion that President Jonathan may lose next month’s presidential elections.
The PDP chieftain said based on what he saw during his visit to Sokoto and Kwara, it was apparent that the president would win his re-election bid.
Anenih said this on Sunday, January 25, during a rally in Uromi, the headquarters of Esan North-East Local Government of Edo State.
According to the BOT chairman, the PDP would defeat the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in the northern states.
He said, “Don’t be deceived if anyone tells you Jonathan will not win. I went out to see things for myself. Four days ago I was in Kwara State. As I was leaving after sitting for five hours, I knew that we have won Kwara.”
“Two days ago as Buhari was landing in Sokoto, I was also landing in Sokoto and by the time I was leaving, I knew we have got Sokoto State. These are northern states.”
“Coming back home, it will be a sad tale for any member of the South- South region to vote for the APC candidates, whether in the Houses of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, governorship or Presidential election. It will be so bad; you take food from your son to a dog,” Anenih added.
