Giant
campaign posters, announcing President Goodluck Jonathan’s readiness to
contest the 2015 presidential election, greeted Nigerians in Abuja, the
nation’s capital, as they woke up to savour the dawn of the New Year.
The
all-glossy posters, which were strategically posted in the high brow
areas of the Federal Capital Territory, did not however indicate the
source or the sponsor of the advertisement.
The
launch of the campaign materials contradicts the President’s claim that
he has not yet decided on the 2015 poll but concentrating effort on
transforming Nigeria in line with his manifesto to give the people a
‘fresh air’.
It
was not clear why the sponsors of the message decided to put it out on
the first day of the new year but a source familiar with the message
pointed out that it was to send a strong message to the opposition that
Jonathan was serious about contesting in 2015 and to test the reactions
of the Nigerians.
The
campaign posters have been spread across the major areas of ECOWAS,
Peoples Democratic Party Secretariat in Wuse 5, and the Central Business
District, where major government offices are situated.
One
of the posters, which had President Goodluck Jonathan’s portrait read,
2015: No vacancy in Aso Rock. Let’s do more. One good term deserves
another. Support Dr. Goodluck Azikiwe Jonathan for 2015 Presidency.
