Lafia –
Mr Labaran Maku, the immediate past Minister of Information, on Thursday, said
that his ambition to contest in the 2015 governorship election in Nasarawa
State is intact.
The
former minister said this while delivering his New Year Message at St. Williams
Cathedral, Lafia.
Maku said
that in spite of what happened recently at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
primary election, he was still moving on with his ambition to contest in the
2015 governorship election.
He
disclosed that the Appeal Panel had yet to respond to the petition he submitted
to it on the outcome of the state’s governorship primaries conducted by the
PDP.
“I want
to assure my supporters that no amount of conspiracy by a few people will stop
me from contesting the 2015 general elections,” he said.
He
advised the electorate not to vote for candidates on religious or ethnic basis,
but to choose those with dispositions to tackle the challenges confronting the
state.
He urged
all his supporters to support the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan in
2015, even though he might not contest on the platform of PDP.
The
former minister said Jonathan deserved a second term because of what he had
done in transforming all the sectors of the nation’s economy.
Maku said
“Jonathan is the best President this country has ever produced.’’
While
calling on his supporters to remain law abiding, he said he would, in a matter
of days, unveil his new platform to the public. (NAN)
