The Peoples Democratic Party presidential campaign kicked off in some style at the Tafawa Balewa Stadium in Lagos, Southwest, Nigeria.
Read below some President Goodluck jonathan's remarks at the rally
“All Nigerians must vote and I mean it….unless you want to go backward, do you want to move forward, good, vote…” and then he threw a jab at major contenders, the All Progressive Party’s Buhari and Yemi Osinbajo
“When He (Buahri) was the head of Government, how did he fight insecurity when he was the head of state. They say my government is corrupt…if he had set up structures to fight corruption in his period, would we be facing corruption today?” he angrily stated.
“They say my government made you people suffer for oil, did you queue at the petrol stations for oil” supporters scream, No.
“They say we are slow yet we were only following due process….they say we are not planning yet our economy is doing well internationally, can we achieve that without planning, (supporters scream No)…we now have trains in Nigeria, did we bring in the trains without planning (Supporters scream No)…and they say we have planning problems” he vents.
"All they want is to use power to lock up their enemies, I have no enemy to fight or lock up, my interest is your interest, you can’t stop corruption by jailing people, no we have advanced beyond that way....see they will not protect you women o, they have no agenda or plan for you women....so Women vote now to liberate yourself and not go back to the kitchen hun...."
His full speech will be released soon.
