A former
Governor of Abia state, Orji Kalu, has asserted that the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party cannot lose the 2015 presidential election.
According to
him, “how can the PDP lose the presidency when it has people like us who
are very popular and creating jobs every day, I do not see how PDP will loose
the election in 2015.”
Kalu, while
fielding questions from journalists at the national secretariat of the Peoples
Democratic Party in Abuja on Tuesday, also said insurgency is politically
motivated and would be
defeated, according to report from The Punch
He said,
“The insurgency is politically motivated because there is no other thing to do.
It is instigated by people who do not want President Jonathan to be
president.’’
He called on
such persons to make the sacrifice of allowing President Jonathan complete his
second tenure in office to move the country forward.
Kalu said
that, though he defected to the opposition party in the past, he was now a full
member of the PDP, adding that in spite of insinuations, he remains an asset to
the party and the country.
He pledged
his loyalty to the PDP national leadership and expressed optimism that the
party would remain in power after 2015.
“Democracy
is not about one person or President Jonathan, we have to bring our efforts
together so as to move democracy forward.
“President
Jonathan is doing everything possible to bring the Chibok girls’ back. We must
thank our military men for the job they are doing.
“Insurgency
is a new thing to us. Insurgency is politically motivated and it is the people
who think Jonathan should not contest the 2015 that are behind it. They should
allow him to finish his tenure.”
Speaking on
his relationship with the present governor of Abia state, Theodore Orji, Kalu
said “T.A Orji is a great asset to the country”.
