President Goodluck Jonathan has described the Peoples Democratic Party as a more democratic party compared to other opposition parties like the APC.The President said the PDP would not cancel ward congresses without considering the wishes of its members.He made the declaration today in Enugu during the PDP South-East rally tagged Unity Rally.The President described the PDP and rightly so as the only political party that listens to the voice of the people.
"We are not like one party in this country where one man or a group of people determine how the party is run," said the President.
He said, "the national chairman of the PDP or any of its governors can’t cancel a ward congress of the party just like that and with impunity. I, as the President, don’t even have the powers to do so, but it is happening in a political party in this country."
"One party tags itself as progressives but where are they progressing to. It is only in such progressive party that you find an ex-governor determining who gets what and how. Is that what you mean by progressives?"
The President also urged Igbos to support the PDP as the only party that would not let them down.
"It is the only party where the President would not impose a candidate. It is the only party where people like me from a non-privileged background can stand here and talk,"he said.
"In the South-East, the PDP is total. Every state has a maximum of three senators and a minimum of three senators. It is now clear the South-East is a PDP zone."
He added, "We will take over the governorship seat of the other state in the South-East come 2015. We have been very magnanimous but we are going to clear the seats totally."
