The need for an automatic ticket for President
Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2015 presidential election was again given a
forceful push at the South-South Expanded Caucus meeting held in Calabar,
with the chairman of the Board of Trustees {BOT} of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Chief Antony Anenih insisting that it was best arrangement for the
party.
The propriety or otherwise of an automatic
ticket for the president and first-term governors in 2015 has been fingered as
two main reasons for the unending conflict between the six governors allegedly
linked with the new party, VOP, and the leadership of the PDP.
But Anenih, who was at the meeting convened to
take stock of President Jonathan’s administration, expressed satisfaction with
the political and economic development of the country under Jonathan, saying
that “his performance is enough for PDP to give him an automatic ticket.”
He dismissed opposition elements and critics
of the president as empty voices, even as he appealed to the people of the zone
not to be distracted by the activities of such persons.
Addressing participants at the meeting, Anenih
said the PDP was the strong pillar of the country and a source of economic and
political strength, and warned that any persons or groups that attempted to
scuttle the second term ambition of the president “will not be forgiven by the
gods of the land”.

Why on earth shld u av an automatic ticket 4 a president that doesn't deserve and also the president is afraid to take on other opponent in pdp like chief lamido who has favour and blessing frm baba lousegun obansanjo and few of the northern governors(6). They must be primaries so that fairness,equality and justice is accorded 4 all. PDP is sinking bcus of one man ambition
