The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, candidate in the 2012 governorship election in Edo State, Major General Charles Airhiavbere (rtd), has said that no amount of distraction or intimidation from the Boko Haram insurgents or any other group can stop President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting the 2015 general elections.
General Airhiavbere, who is Chairman and the National Coordinator of the Goodluck to Goodluck (G2G) 2015 project, in Benin, Edo State, made this known yesterday when he played host to over 4,500 ex-militants from Ijaw communities in the state at the group’s secretariat in Benin.
The PDP chieftain stressed that Jonathan needed all the support to continue what he termed ‘the good work’ he was doing for the country.
He told the visitors, which included some PDP leaders in the state, not to lose sleep over the activities of Boko Haram or other security challenges in the country, as they were just mere distractions.
He said: “Nigeria will not collapse under Jonathan. Nothing will stop Jonathan. God has ordained him and there is no going back on our mandate which is to return Jonathan in 2015. He is a moving train and will crush any obstacle on the way. We will do our best to ensure that there is no criminality or terrorism in Edo State”.
