AS the drums for 2015 poll continues beating on every part of the country, the South-West caucus of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had endorsed President Goodluck johnathan for a second term of office.
The party, which met in Lagos to pick former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, as its grand patron and 20 other patrons, took the position, following a motion moved by Chief Tola Odulaja.
However, former governors, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun); Segun Oni (Ekiti), Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo) and Gbenga Daniel (Ogun), were conspicuously absent at the parley.
A communique, issued at the end of the parley, said the decision was reached “after carefully X-raying the leadership qualities and transformation efforts of President Goodluck Jonathan, and in view of the fact that he is constitutionally qualified to seek re-election.”
The South-West caucus, under the chairmanship of Chief Ishola Filani, while taking the decision, said it unanimously passed a vote of confidence in the transformation agenda of President Jonathan, the leadership roles of the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur; the PDP National Working Committee (NWC), the zonal caretaker committee and the state executives.
The party also lauded Jonathan on the measures so far taken in combating the current security challenges in the country.
