The Director General of the Goodluck
Jonathan Presidential Campaign
Organization ,Dalhatu Sarki Tafida has
said that the Northern support for
President Goodluck Jonathan will be
massive.Though he stopped short of
mentioning names, he said encouraging
pledges of support keep coming in
from political bigwigs including
governors from the northern states of
the federation.He said he was certain
the president would win the support of
at least 50% of PDP delegates from the
North.Jonahan has no problems with PDP
primaries, Tafida said.
But Senator Isaiah Balat, a member of
the of Jonathan’s Presidential campaign
committee said the DG was being
conservative with figures.Balat said the
president would conveniently win two
thirds of the PDP delegates from the
Northern states during the PDP
primaries.The former senator who is a
presidential aide now said Jonathan has
been accepted in the North and he is the
man to beat. He described the PDP race
as between Jonathan and others
Asked whether the campaign organization
was thinking of the prospect of losing,
Tafida said in politics every
aspirants imagines it is possible to
lose.He however added that though
anything could happy, he was very
optimistic Jonathan will carry the day.
Tafida who is Nigeria’s High
Commissioner to the United Kingdom told
journalists at Transcorp Hilton
, Abuja
today that he is on leave to carry out
his assignment as DG of the presidential
campaign.
He described Jonathan as highly
experienced, fair minded,quiet but
decisive and hardworking president.He
said it is only somebody who wants to be
fair that would appoint Professor
Attahiru Jega and other members into
INEC.Perhaps in an attempt to appeal to
those who insist that Jonathan should
step down for northerners, he urged
Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of give
and take.
