LET US PRAY: “DEAR LORD, PLEASE GIVE GEJ VICTORY IN 2015 ″ – PDP

 

We agree that there is some crisis in the party. We agree that amongst other things (like resolving the issues that led to the crisis), they should take it to the Lord in prayer.

What we don’t quite understand is the fact that their prayer points seem to insinuate that they have appointed/accepted/presented President Goodluck Jonathan as their presidential candidate for the 2015 election? 

PDP National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, at the inauguration of the Kwara state executive caretaker committee of the party had prayed thus:

“We pray to you God, to help our President win the election and come out tops in 2015 in Jesus name. Father, we pray that the crisis in the party would stop and that the President would lead us well in the name of God,” so he prayed.

Present at the event, and potentially the loudest with the amen chorus were National Chairman of the PDP, Bamangar Tukur; National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha; National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh; and the National Treasurer, Alhaji Adewole Adeyanju.

So, there won’t be any primaries then?

We’re not alone with wondering. An aide of one of the NWC members voiced same to the Punch correspondent beside him.

“With this prayer and the “Amen” that followed, maybe the party has foreclosed the idea of holding any presidential primary to choose its presidential candidate,” he said.

Tukur thanked the attendees, and said the party wasn’t moved or shaken by the defections, including the recent move by 27 out of 30 of the members of the Sokoto State House of Assembly to the APC.

“They (the lawmakers) have left already when the governor left. When 27 people leave, 270, 000 will join. This is democracy. If few had left many would come in,” Tukur said.

Amen.
