Propaganda May Help You Win Election, You Can't Govern With It - Jonathan Taunts APC

While speaking when he received leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state capital, on Friday, former President Goodluck Jonathan took a swipe at the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying even if a party wins through propaganda, it can not govern with it.

 

According to TheCable, Jonathan said the APC had failed to fulfil its promise to Nigerians, and charged the PDP to work towards ending the reign of the APC in 2019.

 

He said: “I believe that PDP will return to power in 2019 if we continue to build confidence especially as the ruling party has failed to meet up their promises and give hope to the people.

 

The influential politician expressed support for the amendment of the sequence of 2019 elections, and advised the APC to see it as a “patriotic act”.

 

He said: “Holding presidential election first will affect the quality of persons that will emerge in other polls because of the bandwagon effect.

 

 

Recall that on Wednesday, the senate adopted the amended timetable for the elections after the house of representatives changed the order.

 

This created a rancour, with some APC senator saying President Muhammadu Buhari might be the target.
