Jonathan looses more as House to House campaign adopts buhari to 2015

Ok I think this time PDP has a bigger headache to worry about because,something is wrong somewhere! The House-to-
House campaign group, which in 2011 helped
push President Goodluck Jonathan into power,
has finally turned its back on him and threw its
weight behind his main challenger, General
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) for the 2015 presidential
election.
The group cited Jonathan’s poor performance
and inability to check corruption among political
and office holders for its decision.
The National Coordinator of the House-to-House
group, Kunle Ehinlanwo, who is a son of a
former PDP senator, dropped the bombshell on
Tuesday at a large gathering in Abuja.
He said that the initial idea of the organization
was to support the re-election of President
Jonathan in the belief that continuity would
better secure Nigeria’s democracy considering
its current stage on the democratic ladder. But
upon deeper review and careful analysis of the
situation in the country, he explained, his group
had come up unconvinced with the performance
of the Jonathan administration.
“We have consequently decided to throw our
support in favour of General Muhammadu
Buhari, the Presidential Candidate of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) who we are
convinced is a better man for the challenging
job,” he said.
Ehinlanwo declared that the House-to-House
Initiative will henceforth campaign vigorously to
canvass massive votes for the election of
General Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, ahead of the next general election
across the 36 states of the Federation, the FCT
and the 774 Local Government areas in 2015.
He explained: “For the record, our organization
is engineered and powered by concerned
citizens and patriotic volunteers throughout
Nigeria to achieve these common objectives.
We are concerned about the future of this great
nation buffeted by bad leadership and we
believe the time for a collective action towards
a purposeful and responsible government which
shares the wishes and aspirations of distressed
Nigerians is now. We have therefore taken the
bull by the horn to do honest bit in the quest
for change.”
What is happening to the Goodluck Jonathan
brand that was the toast of many in 2011?
He revealed the aims and objectives of the
organization, among others, to be:
(1) To mobilize Nigerians, particularly the
youths, to ensure victory for General
Muhammadu Buhari and Prof. Yemi Osinbajo in
the presidential election.
(2) To properly educate Nigerians on the
imperatives of electing the APC presidential
flag bearer in the 2015 presidential election to
achieve a lasting progressive CHANGE.
(3) To assiduously canvass the election of
General Muhammadu Buhari and indeed a
necessity to right the debilitating condition in
our nation today, thereby ensuring justice,
peace, unity and prosperity among the
Nigerians people.
(4) To work in harmony with the National
Leadership of the APC and all other
organizations, including socio-economic,
political and volunteer formations to propagate
the ideals of a new era of possibilities.
Ehinlawon dismissed the challenge posed by
the incumbency factor in Nigerian politics,
saying that APC would triumph because the
Nigerian people can see beyond the antics of
the rudderless Jonathan administration,
particularly the desperate quest for power that
can be observed in its actions and activities in
recent times.
He stressed that Nigerians earnestly yearn for
change and that it is becoming very clear that
no amount of intimidation or corruption of the
electoral process will change that tide. The
voices of the people will be heard, loud and
clear, via their massive votes at the election, he
said.
