He said: “Jonathan is a man who talks less and does more. He is known for humility. If the president did not have God behind him, a lot of things would have gone wrong in this country.”
“We took critical look at the various presidential candidates and decided to present Jonathan.”
“We urge Nigerians to vote for the current administration for continuity. This is not by any means casting aspersions on the credibility of the other presidential candidates. We only believe we should rather have continuity at this stage,” he concluded.
