“The terrorists and those sponsoring them will not stop this country from moving.
“This country will continue to move from strength to strength.
“We will continue to do our best to make sure we live peacefully in this country,” Jonathan said.
President Jonathan praised the former governor of Kano, Shekarau, describing him as a good man and a man of the people, urging party members to continue to support, project and follow him.
Jonathan said, “Shekarau is a man of the people, a man Kano people should follow, a true Nigerian. I thank Shekarau for joining the PDP today and he is fully welcome”.
Addressing party chieftains and members, Shekarau, who defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC), said the unity rally organised in his honour was “an occasion for democracy and an occasion for choice”.
According to him, the return of key former members of defunct ANPP and later APC was to show solidarity and loyalty to his government, promising to continue to be loyal to the party and his administration.
“Mr President, I wish to pledge my commitment and that of other members who made the choice to join the PPD with me, Shekarau said”.
He also pledged to work with the President in order to realise the objectives of the ruling party.
The former governor used the occasion to thank the President for the various federal projects that have been completed and ongoing in Kano state.
While promising to continue to re-dedicate his life to the service of the people, Shekarau called on the President to do more for the people of Kano by way of empowerment, especially by boosting agriculture.
Other speakers at the rally- PDP national chairman, Adamu Mu’azu; Vice President, Namadi Sambo; Senate President David Mark; Governors Godswil Akpabio of Akwa Ibom and Ibrahim Shema of Katsina, as well as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali, all expressed solidarity with the President.
