NIGERIA 2015: ‘How can PDP lose the presidency when it has popular people like us’ – KaluBy Ezekiel Attah on September 9, 2014 TweetPin It 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.”
