2019: I Won’t Sleep Until PDP Returns To Aso Rock – Jonathan

Former President Goodluck Jonathan says his major priority now is to ensure that his party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, regains the Presidency in 2019.

Jonathan said this on Wednesday when he received Bode George, a chairmanship aspirant of the PDP, at his Otuoke residence in Bayelsa state.

Jonathan became the first incumbent president to be defeated in NIgeria after the All Progressives Congress (APC) ended the 16-year reign of the PDP in 2015.

The former president, who took responsibility for PDP’s loss, said the only thing that will make him sleep well is if the party returns back to power in 2019.

“Whether I like it or not, I must take responsibility for the defeat because I led the party to the election,” the media team of George quoted Jonathan as saying.

“My priority now is how to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party regains the presidency in 2019… The only thing that will make me sleep well is to ensure that the PDP comes back to power.”

Promising that the mistakes of the past would not be repeated, the former president said he was working with other stakeholders to ensure that the party was well organised to take back power.
