Former
minister of transport, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, yesterday in Abuja said the PDP
is not afraid of any opposition party and instead welcomes them on board and
wishes them well since its leadership knows that, working together as a team,
there is no party that could stop the party from retaining power come 2015.
Speaking
exclusively with Alarinka,, Babatope
said, “The PDP is not afraid of the APC, PDM or any party; we are the party to
beat. We are only afraid of God and the masses who have consistently been
voting PDP since 1999 and we would not let them down. We are going to retain
power come 2015; President Goodluck Jonathan would record a landslide victory
come 2015.”
According
to him, “PDP would never underrate any political party, be it APC or PDM, but
we are not afraid of them as well. Those that are threatening to quit the party
should remain; there is no better party to the PDP. Where is Chief Audu Ogbeh
today? He is a very brilliant politician but since he joined ACN, where do they
put him? This is why we have been appealing to them to remain within the party
but if they insist, let them go; the PDP would remain the biggest and the
strongest party.”
He argued
that parties all over the world, especially in the United States and Britain,
have their trying moments too but “they resolved their differences without
killing their parties. We have our differences, yes, but we would overcome it
and once we overcome it, then, we would be able to prepare for the 2015
election and President Jonathan would perform better than he did in the 2011
election.”
Babatope
also disclosed that a lot of actions are going on behind the scenes in the
southwest with a view to reclaiming “our states back from the opposition and we
would not fail. Our people are suffering under them and we would rescue them in
the coming election beginning from Ekiti and Osun states. We lost those states
as a result of disagreement and misunderstanding and we are working hard to put
them behind us and reclaim back our states”.
