President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday blasted PDP members defecting to other parties, notably the All Progressive Congress (APC) predicting that those decamping from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to other parties will return with empty stomach.
He made the remark while receiving the PDP campaign report from its Director General, Ahmadu Ali at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Stressing that PDP is the dominant party despite the loss of the Presidential election, he said that the party will remain strong in subsequent elections if members are committed and hard working.
The Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih noted that the party did not win the presidential election but won peace for the country.
He said: “We didn’t win the elections but we have a leader who made us to win peace. Without peace there cannot be development.”
“There is a lot to be done. We need a very strong and vibrant party to be put in place now. I believe we are on the right path. Let us put behind us those who have betrayed the party and move forward.”
The Chairman of the party, Adamu Muazu was conspicuously absent at the event.
