Title: 2015: Jonathan Woos South-West Leaders
Post by: Shola Sholaz on Sep 25, 2013, 09:01 AM
Barely 24 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan officially declared his intention to run for a second term in office, he has started reaching out to prominent groups in the South West to actualise his ambition come 2015. One of such groups is Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, whose leader, Otunba Gani Adams,  played host to Special Adviser to the President on the Niger Delta and Chairman, Presidential Amnesty Programme, Mr. Kingsley Kuku, yesterday.

Although the duo denied that their close door meeting which lasted for several hours in Lagos, had nothing to do with President Goodluck Jonathan's 2015 ambition, the undertone of the courtesy visit showed otherwise as a reliable source close to the corridors of powers disclosed that the meeting was in line with Jonathan's effort to woo the South West ahead of 2015.

According to Otunba Adams, the President of Nigeria had the constitutional right to contest for a second term.
