As one day is left for campaigning ahead of presidential election, the incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan, who is running on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, uses his last chance to ask Nigerians to vote for him.
President Jonathan in his statement via official Facebook account stressed the key achievements of PDP’s government and explained why Nigerians should cast their votes for his re-election bid.
Read his message below:
“In the last four years we have together achieved for Nigeria what some thought impossible. While there still remains a lot to be done, we can all take pride in the fact that Almajiris now go to school, that there are universities in every state, that our national rail network has been revived, that we have become a net exporter of products we once imported and that Human Development Indices such as Average Life Expectancy, Infant and Maternal Mortality rates and Poverty and Hunger Levels have all improved these past four years.
“We have smashed the corruption in the fertilizer sector; uprooted ghost workers from our nations pay roll and empowered the military to do what is right for the security our people. Most notably, we have collectively grown our economy which is now the largest in Africa and the 26th in the world.
“We collectively achieved all these and I thank every citizen and encourage all to be prepared to continue our forward march of progress. Come Saturday 28th March, I urge us all to vote Progress, vote for the PDP and I, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan the flag bearer of the PDP with its inclusive umbrella will never ever let you down. We shall continue to serve you our people very honestly, very equitably to the glory of God. GEJ.”
