The Senator representing Ondo North Senatorial District, Prof. Ajayi Borrofice, at the weekend, said the All Progressives Congress, APC, will cruise to victory in 2015 if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) fields President Goodluck Jonathan as its candidate.
He said it is the APC’s earnest prayer that Jonathan emerges the PDP presidential candidate at the polls.
Borrofice spoke with reporters at his Oka-Akoko home town in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo during an empowerment programme for his constituents.
At the event, which was attended by APC state executives, led by Chief Isaac Kekemeke, 50 tricycles, 45 power generating sets, 45 grinding machines, 15 sewing machines, 12 wheel chairs and 20 vehicles were distributed to over 300 people.
Borrofice said: “We are praying that he declares his ambition. If he contests and emerges the PDP candidate, it will be easy for the APC to defeat him. His administration has failed and Nigerians are tired of it.
“People are being killed daily and the President cannot find a solution to it. The unemployment rate is high and we are yet to forget what happened during the last immigration aptitude test, where scores of unemployed youths died.
“The young and the old are dying because of poor health care services and corruption has been legalised. Those who kick against the President’s ruling style are seen as the enemy of the nation. These are reasons why it would be an easy ride for the APC in 2015, if Jonathan is picked as the PDP’s candidate. Nigerians are watching with keen interest and they believe the best way to change bad leadership is through their votes in 2015”.
The senator urged Jonathan to do everything possible to secure the release of the abducted Chibok school girls, saying their lives should not be toyed with.
He also called on his people to give him a second term in the Senate, pledging to continue in his empowerment programmes for his constituents.
