Election: We Are Headed For Victory, By Adamu Muazu
On Saturday, Nigerians will once again troop out in their numbers to exercise their constitutionally guaranteed rights to elect their President and members of the national parliament. (Senate and House of Representatives).
In the past three months, our party’s campaign train has been traversing the nooks and crannies of our great country campaigning and interfacing with our citizens at different levels soliciting for their support ahead of the general elections, which is now at the doorstep.
In the course of our campaigns, we met with Nigerians from all walks of life, especially those in the grassroots and we found in them, irrespective of creed, tribe or class, a resilient people with an unwavering belief and commitment to democracy, freedom, rule of law, peace and unity of our dear nation.
As a party that has nurtured democracy in our country in the past 16 years, the PDP deeply appreciates the relentless support and goodwill from our citizens across board without which this would not have been possible.
As you are aware, in keeping with our avowed commitment to a peaceful electoral process, the PDP under my leadership has ran an orderly campaign based only on issues, devoid of unnecessary political mudslinging and acts of desperations, especially seeing the fact that a majority of the Nigerian voting population is solidly behind us.
Our campaigns and rallies have been greeted by the turnout of millions of Nigerians, men and women of good faith, citizens who cherish democracy and the indivisibility of our great nation, the cardinal values of the PDP as the only true democratic party committed to the national interest.

We ran a very vigourous campaign based on sincerity and truth. We could not have done otherwise. We placed before Nigerians an array of credible candidates and records of verifiable achievements of our elected and appointed officers especially our standard bearer, President Goodluck Jonathan.
Let me at this point salute the commitment and dedication of our party leaders at the national, zonal, state, local government and ward levels as well as our volunteers across the states of the federation. In the course of this campaign they all showed extra-ordinary vigour and indeed put in their best and braced all odds in mobilizing and strengthening the confidence Nigerians have for us and the President.
It may interest you to note that apart from our rallies and town hall meetings, we leveraged on our enormous strength as the only true national party and activated our structures at all the electoral wards across the country. Our leaders alongside volunteers and supporters quietly engaged in personal mobilization of Nigerians, using doors to door and person to person approach especially at the grassroots. The result is a massive mobilization of millions of voters in strategic parts of the country ready to cast their votes for the PDP.
Though a herculean task, it was made easy by our record of achievements and the ability of our publicity machinery to effectively articulate the unique selling points of our party and got Nigerians to know and understand the major difference between us and the opposition in terms of character, content and mission.
We effectively articulated the fact that whereas the PDP is the only true democratic party committed to the national interest and platform where all Nigerians can freely engage and realize their yearnings and aspiration without regard to sectional, ethnic and religious considerations, the opposition was mainly a parochial platform, without a national agenda, driven by the whims and ambition of few individual pursuing narrow personal interests.
We made Nigerians to see beyond the veneer of propaganda to appreciate the fact that the opposition has nothing to offer other than empty promises, deceit and lies. Indeed, the hollowness of their campaigns vindicated us. They have no ma
