The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) held its final state rally last
Saturday at the Democracy Park Akure, Ondo State capital. It witnessed
the presence of big players in the party and the central government.
With President Goodluck Jonathan, Senate President, David Mark,
Rivers State Governor and Chairman of Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Rotimi
Amaechi and his Bayelsa State counterpart, Henry Seriake Dickson, party
national chairman, Bamanga Tukur, and almost all members of the PDP
National Working Committee in attendance.
No one was left in doubt that the battle to reclaim Ondo State,
tagged, ‘Rescue 2012’ was a serious project for the party. But making
President Jonathan to appear at the rally was an Herculean task, as it
was achieved with subtle blackmail.
Daily Sun findings revealed that the party chieftains from South-
west were complaining in hushed tones that President Goodluck Jonathan
was indifferent to the mission of the party to unseat Governor
Olusegun Mimmiko whom the former perceives as a reliable ally in the
zone. A Daily Sun source revealed that President Jonathan believed it
was pay back period for Mimmiko. get details on
