The chairman of President Goodluck Jonathan re-election fund raising committee and former information minister, Prof. Jerry Gana on Saturday said that the 2015 elections would be competitive.
Gana said this at the Presidential Villa during the PDP fund raising dinner for 2015 general elections.
Over N21.2 billion was raised at the dinner which was well attended by past and present government officials, politicians and captains of industry.
He stated that though the party had done well under Jonathan, members must campaign and communicate his achievements to the electorate.
“The 2015 elections will be very competitive. Do not take it for granted. We must never underestimate the opponent,” he said.
“PDP has advantage because it has done very well in its 15 years in power at the centre.
“Besides, our presidential candidate is very good and is one of the best in the world in terms of delivery of democracy dividends.
“But doing well or having good candidates is not enough; we need to tell the electorate what we have done as a party.
“We must endeavour to effectively communicate our achievements and candidates to the people; the elections must be issue-based and the PDP is noted for that.”
Gana warned the leadership of the PDP at all levels against imposition of candidates on Nigerians.
The fund, according to the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’Azu, would be used to complete the party’s new headquarters building and run its affairs
