Son of Nigeria’s First Republic Prime Minister, Dr. Abdul Jhalil Tafawa Balewa, has declared that he would contest the 2015 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP not minding the fact that the PDP Board of Trustees have adopted President Goodluck Jonathan as their sole candidate and cancelled any presidential primaries.
Balewa condemned the act saying that it was a plot by the leadership of the party to demoralise other presidential aspirants.
He also said:“I’m not intimidated by the decision of the PDP governors and the party to support the second term aspiration of President Goodluck Jonathan.What type of democracy do we have? Is the PDP a communist party? Where is the place of internal democracy?”
Expressing hope that he would be supported by well-meaning Nigerians, he promised to make Nigeria an industrialized country and stated that his administration would ensure zero unemployment, better education, maximum security and increased power supply.
