Jonathan Picks Nomination Forms

Goodluck Jonathan, Thursday, collected the expression of interest and nomination forms of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for the 2015 presidential election at the party’s national secretariat.

Reports say his nomination form was funded by contributions from stakeholders led by top hierarchy of the party, governors and senior stakeholders to the national secretariat of the party.

Reports further state that the president arrived the hall at exactly 2.08 pm, and was presented the forms by the National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha at 2.20 pm.

Presenting the forms to the president, Mustapha announced that Jonathan had paid for the form earlier and declared that history had been made by the PDP, explaining that it was the first time the party had given a sitting president the right of first refusal.
