Democratic Party, Chief Tony Anenih, has urged
Nigerians not to be deceived that President Goodluck
Jonathan will not secure a re-election in next month's
presidential election.
Anenih, who said this during a rally on Sunday in
Uromi, the headquarters of Esan North-East Local
Government of Edo State, noted that he had recently
visited some northern states and with what he saw, the
PDP would emerge victorious in the February
elections.
Also, present at the rally were the Minister for Works,
Mike Onolemenmen, a chieftain of the party, Chief
Tom Ikimi; state Chairman of the party, Chief Dan
Orbih and other state executive members.
The BOT chairman specifically said that the PDP would
win Kwara and Sokoto states and defeat the candidate
of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
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."
Anenih also urged the people of the state to support
the PDP at the polls.
He added that it would be a sad tale to vote for the
APC candidates at all levels because "you don't take
food from your son for a dog."
"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," he said.
