Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s governorship candidate in Adamawa state, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu has talked about his resolute belief that President Goodluck Jonathan will come out victorious and get re-elected for a second term on Saturday. He said this in the in an interview he granted Premium Times. Excerpts:
It’s just a few days to the general election, which your party hopes to win. So how has the campaign been so far? What are your chances in the election?
Thank you very much. I believe that whoever works hard will see results. If you work hard and sell your programmes properly to the people, you will get listening ears.
If you reach out to most of the people in the rural areas where the majority reside, and sell your message properly and correctly, you are likely going to get a favourable result and that is exactly what is happening with the PDP.
We have worked very hard especially in the last couple of weeks or months; we have reached every part of the country.
We have worked very hard especially in the last couple of weeks or months; we have reached every part of the country.
In my own case, here in Adamawa, we have worked very hard; we have visited almost all the districts, wards and of course the local governments and we are beginning to see the result of such visits.
Already, four gubernatorial candidates of other parties have stepped down for me. And more than two thirds of the state executives of the APC have decided to dump their party to join our own.
Again, the director general of the PDM campaign organisation has relinquished his post to join us. These are all good results of our intensive work. (PT).
