President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday commended the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for its effort towards preserving democracy in Nigeria.
Speaking at the PDP’s 60th National Executive Commiittee meeting in Abuja, Mr Jonathan said “People who want to drown us know that without PDP, probably, the republic would have collapsed. Democracy would have collapsed years ago, if not that PDP was on ground, playing its essential and most important role of preserving the nations democracy.”
The president accused the opposition of its continuous criticism of the PDP led government, stating that it was wrong for them to begin to apply the philosophy of “when you say the wrong thing one thousand times, it becomes the right thing”
He said, “We witnessed what happened in the First Republic. Because we witnessed what happened in the first republic and we know the circumstances that led to the collapse of the First Republic and Second Republic, we are disciplined and committed towards ensuring that this democracy is preserved”
He asserted that the PDP led government has done very well in the area of acceptance of criticisms, both negatives and positives .
“They abuse us more, but we allow it. And it is the PDP that is handling the affairs of the country, that is stabilizing the democracy in the country,” he added.

Did he actually say that? He don miss road. This is not the right time for a president to say things like that given the present climate in the country. People are suffering. That shows or he does not know what he is doing and has no clues. No wonder. He needs to be lectured. Yeh-Yeh.
