The party in a statement signed by Olisa Metuh and made available to NewsWireNGR, the party notes that through these rallies, the numerous achievements of the President Goodluck Jonathan-led PDP administration were adequately projected to the Nigerian populace and the international community.

The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party had before now asked members of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigerians and other groups in support of the second term of President Goodluck Jonathan not to include officials of the party in their campaigns.
