| L-R: Jonathan and Tinubu |
President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday described
the defection of a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tom IKmi, from All Progressives
Congress to the Peoples Democratic Party as spelling the end of the APC.
He also vowed that the Peoples Democratic Party
would win Edo and Rivers states in the 2015 and 2016 general and governorship
elections in the two states.
President Jonathan spoke during the PDP
South-South unity rally held at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin, the Edo
State capital.
While welcoming Tom Ikimi and other former
members of the APC, including national and state assembly members, back to the
party, he stated that the defection from the APC to the PDP, led by Ikimi,
meant that “the last oxygen has been removed.”
