Less than six month before the 2015 general elections in Nigeria, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that it would prevail on Governors Rotimi Amaechi and Adams Oshiomhole to support incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid.
The ruling party stated that the 2015 presidential election would not be based upon partisanship but rather to ensure that the presidency remains in the South-south geo-political zone.
