President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan declared Thursday in Abuja that if members of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) remain committed to the vision of its founding fathers and work very hard, the party will return to power at the Federal level in 2019. Speaking after receiving the report of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organization at the Presidential Villa, President Jonathan said that the party already had all that it will require to win the 2019 elections, but needed to return to the drawing board to re-strategize for the future.“Whatever happened was like a slip. You don’t need to travel to America to know how power moves from the Republicans to the Democrats and from the Democrats to the Republicans.
“You can even go to Ghana that is very close to us. The present administration lost some years back and of course they came back, and won the elections. So the problem is not whether we lost or won elections, which is already history, but how we can reconsolidate our party.
“If we are committed and we work hard, definitely the PDP will spring back,” President Jonathan told members of the party’s Presidential Campaign Organisation. Noting that the outcome of future elections will be determined by the party’s preparedness, President Jonathan urged members of the PDP to be more united and remain loyal to the party.
“We must continue to be united as a party. And continue to work hard so that as we move towards subsequent elections in 2019 and 2023, PDP will come out stronger.
“Let’s not judge PDP by the results of the presidential elections, because in some of the states where we saw the PDP score so low, it was probably due to problems within the PDP. The party will come back stronger. PDP is still the most organized party. PDP is still the party that nobody owns. PDP is still the party that whoever you are, you can get to any level that you aspire to through competence. I encourage members of our party to remain faithful and not be disillusioned,’’ the President said.
In his remarks at the occasion, the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Sen. Ahmadu Ali, commended President Jonathan for putting the nation before his personal ambition. “Our great party will emerge from this debacle stronger, wiser and prouder. Even in defeat, we are able to impart some valuable lessons to the Nigerian electorate.
“This is the first time in the history of this country that a sitting Government has handed over power peacefully to an opposition party after an election. We are proud of you,’’ he told President Jonathan.

God forbid PDP bouncing back,, i pray another set of good and God fearing Nigerians come together and take power from APC (if dey no perform), so Nigeria can continue tomove from worst to good to better and best; and not to return like of Bode George, Alamasia, Fanikayode, Abati, Igbinedion, James Ibori, Orji Kalu, Abia state outgoing governor (i forgot his name) and others
PARENTAL ADVISORY!!!

I DUNNO WHAT MR PRESIDENT IS TALKING ABOUT COS PDP WILL NOT RULE AGAIN FOR A LONG TIME. THEY GOT GREEDY AND TOO COMFORTABLE. THEY SHOT THEMSELVES IN THE DAMN FOOT.
Lool! This guy really is crazy! What has he done for Nigeria in the past 4 years? I`m not Nigerian, I`m Zimbabwean. ( living happily in Lagos)I`ve been in Nigeria for over 2 years and I haven`t seen any change for him. Buhari is already showing signs of success. But Jonathan, busy saying stupid stuff when we know it`s not gonna happen.
Lol gej,pdp n gejites are dreaming pls jona we no want una. Thanks no thanks
Yes my president! I strongly believe that deep down my heart.

The selection of Jonathan as president was the beginning of the end of PDP- 2019 will be too soon for PDP to bounce back
This is so true, APC is a useless party ruled and owned by Tinubu
Well said. GEJ has done well in other words GMB should contd from where he stopped. We should acknowledge the work of PDP lead GEJ Government and experience the continuity of his achievements in the new Government and give credit to him for a job well done. GEJ is one of the best Presidents Nigeria has ever had in a lifetime.
Some of his Greatest Achievement
1. BVN
2. trade.gov.ng
3. SURE-P
4. The Almajiri System of Education in Nigeria
5. Some of the roads that were abandoned
6. Add urs...
God Bless GEJ!!God Bless NIGERIA
I am Coonett
Exactly. A lot of party members don't even know the ideologies of their party. That's why they keep moving from one party to another. Everybody wants to be in d winning team. Lol. Why not stay in your party and come up with strategies that will make u win the next election.
Yawns
Indeed nobody owns PDP, APC on the other hand is owned by the most corrupt, greedy drug dealer called Tinubu. APC can't be in power for long because the party is made up of all the corrupt and greedy politicians in Nigeria's history. Before Buhari's first tenure will elapse, APC will be divided because of the evil men in the party. I want to urge all well meaning and reasonable Nigeria youths to stand up tall so we can start and promote Young Leaders Democratic Party(YLDP) so we the youths can take over power from this old wicked men that ruled our great and grand fathers. Buhari has forgotten all the promises he made during the campaign,we don't need leaders suffering amnesia.

PDP will definitely bounce back
Lol...Nigeria politicians are just comedians....Do you u think if APC perform to the satisfaction of the masses there will be anything like PDP?....Rubbish talk from a confuse ex-president. Let's wait and see the performance of APC b/4 ur talking about bounicng back or not. Peoples interest first b/4 any political party
It's not about party formidability anymore. It's all about good governance. Even if it's a party that has not been formed yet that'll take us to promise-land in 2019, Nigerians r ready. The political awareness of this age can never be compared to the past
PDP will definitely bounce back
Goodluck to them......but till den...lets celebrate wit those onboard
Moye says so via BB Passport...Courtesy LIB....
Your illiterate buhari is not the change we need
For your dream Mr President.
K
Very laughable and dumb press release, talking about competence that was never there. 16 yrs of misrule and collateral corruption. Aurevoir forever
I dey laugh.
Your father should keep quiet right?
There is no way abeg. Northerns hv taken power 4 life...frm d presidential election we say hw d northerns both cows chicken and little children voted so GEJ shld jst forget it cos d election was purely a tribalistic 1. The norh will continue to match on our heads in nigeria unless we divide and let everybody be on their own. The northerns use Boko haram to distabilize GEJ. We need to divide chikina
Well said Sir, thank God the wolves have left the party. I feel and see this party now for the youth, and I pray we take it up . It sure will bounce back. Thanks for the sacrifice sir, May God bless and take you to greater heights.
The PDP will definitely come back again in 2019.
No b small bouncy ball. Taaaaa abeg,!
Aboki no brain.
PDP will bounce back again in 2019. No doubt about that.
This man na mumu as they call him.apc is not a looting party and that is why we voted for them.i know jona you are a master looter but now nigerians are wise.even if you stategiise you will faill at all time.we want a better place for us.useless thief.

Ok
I believe Mr.President if I have direct contact with him !i will hold on to him and his vision,PDP will bounce back @ federal level 2019 ,the honest truth is Buhari has a good Heart and good plans for Nigerians BUT he is surrounded by Sharks and Cabals who only care about their pockets - Sia
He is not even ashamed that is cos of his incompetency that PDP lost power. Does he really think about his perfoance at all. What a joker
I say a thunderous and loud AMEN to that proclamation! My love for you is undying.
Oga Jona you and Ahmadu Ali, and your PDP cohort should go and hide your faces somewhere you criminals are not even ashamed of yourselves you and your PDP cohort think Nigeria people are fools, you your PDP party will never near aso rock again after may 30th go and mark it. Mtchew!!!!!!!
Let's wait and see

PDP will only bounce back if majority of Nigerians are corrupt and hate to live in a corruption-free nation.
