The National Chairman of All
Progressive Congress, APC John Odigie-Oyegun has said his party will hold a
funeral ceremony for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) come the
Presidential elections on March 28. Oyegun
made the statement during a rally in Port-Harcourt, Rivers State.
“We were
in the North-west yesterday. You know the North-West is the home base of the
in-coming president. South-South is also important to us because it is the home
of the out-going president. These zones are crucial. I thank
you for your support, courage and resilience. You have survived your oppressors
despite all odds. Goodluck Jonathan is our son and brother but he has failed us
as a region and Nigeria. So we want to send him on an honourable retirement. I
know you will all support the APC in this venture because we must send him
home,” the APC Chairman said.
“PDP is
confused and disoriented. They have no sense of direction. PDP is down but not
out yet. So a lot of work still needs to be done, that is why we are here. Let
me also assure you that PDP’s funeral still holds despite the rescheduling of
the elections,” he added.
“We will
have a good funeral ceremony for PDP come March 28. I want you to promise me
that you will all come out and deliver these votes. And that you will be there,
ready and prepared to make sure that every vote counts. We are going to deliver
the entire South- South to our president in-waiting, General Muhammadu Buhari,” Oyegun assured.
