The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will emerge victorious from the 2015 presidential elections despite the challenges currently confronting the party, Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, has boasted.
Speaking on Thursday during the disbursement of grants for SURE-P Youth Development Programme and the passing out ceremony of Community-based Traffic Vanguard in Minna, Aliyu expressed confidence that the party will surprise its detractors by turning out a much more formidable platform by 2015.
“PDP will form the next federal government”, he said. “PDP will win the governorship election in Niger State in 2015. We will do it with clean hands and we will not slaughter cows or donkeys to offer sacrifices to achieve these”.
He urged members of the party not to be intimidated by the noise of the opposition, saying the end will justify the means. He also urged citizens to pray to God for the emergence of good leaders to lead the nation aright.
“May God give us good officials to continue with developmental programmes and who will not go into the politics of sharing money among themselves”, he said.
“We need to pray for good leaders because when you have bad leaders, the people themselves would become bad, and even the good people will begin to fear about their policies. We have to pray for good leaders to be elected in 2015”.
