2023: How Jonathan Can Get PDP Ticket – Secondus

Goodluck Jonathan can seek the 2023 presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Uche Secondus said yesterday as he formally opened up rumours of a comeback bid by the immediate past president of the country.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja to mark the third anniversary of his ascent as national chairman of the PDP, Secondus also decried the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to honour the invite to the National Assembly on issues pertaining to national security. He said that the president was afraid.

Noting how Jonathan could get the ticket of the PDP, he said it would depend on the zoning permutations as being worked out by a special committee of the party.

“I stand by my position that the Gov Bala-led committee is still working. They are coming out with a report on why we lost and by the time they finish, we will take a decision and the decision is not for the National Working Committee but for the entirety of our party.

“And I believe that whoever is interested in the 2023 election, including the former president, may be the chances are there because the PDP is a party of all. Everybody will have that opportunity but in clear terms, we have not taken any decision to give anybody ticket for now”.

He continued: “The truth which is worrisome is that the president either does not know what is happening or does know what to do, otherwise, he should not be afraid to face the people. The hard fact facing all of us now is that this regime has woefully failed Nigerians in all ramifications.

“It’s a shame that a (president) that came to power brandishing military credentials as a General with the propaganda to wipe away Boko Haram in 100 days is there five years plus presiding over the worst security situation in our history with no clear direction on what to do and is even afraid to face the country’s parliament to explain what he is doing”.
