The Peoples Democratic Party on Monday boasted that it was President Goodluck Jonathan’s tactics that stopped the Boko Haram from overrunning half of the country.
The party also said it would not fight former President Olusegun Obasanjo because some of the PDP’s achievements were recorded during his regime.
It said if not for Jonathan’s actions and dexterity in the fight against insurgency, members of the dreaded sect would have taken over about half of Nigeria.
As a result of this, the party said the President deserved commendations from Nigerians rather than being vilified.
The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, said this at a press briefing in Abuja.
He said the problem of insecurity in the North-East should not be attributed to Jonathan, adding that the President had been trying to contain it.
He said that the Jonathan administration had done more than other administrations in the history of the country for the people of the northern region.
On the activities of Obasanjo, who is believed not to be working for the party but the opposition, Metuh said that the party would continue to appeal to him to support its candidates.
He said there was no way the party would fight the former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, saying some of the achievements recorded by the party were made under his regime.
On the gale of defections in the party, Metuh said that the party was aware that there were grievances concerning its primaries. He however urged those that were wronged to reconsider their position and return to the PDP.
