Ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party has said that 2015 general elections is not yet part of its agenda.
The party while cautioning its members eyeing different political offices to forget their aspirations for now, noted that such was capable of diverting the attention of the party and its leadership.
The party’s National Organising Secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, told newsmen in Abuja on Sunday.
He said, “The PDP as a party and government in the centre is not thinking and is not bothered about 2015 elections yet.
“What the party and indeed the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan is concerned with now is how to deliver on good governance.
“The party has made promises to the electorate and the party is working hard to deliver on its promises and give to the people dividends of democracy. It would therefore be premature to be talking of 2015 at this time.
“We don’t want diversion and we don’t want to be diverted. Governance is a serious business. Those saddled with governance should be allowed to deliver.”
Mustapha said Jonathan had severaly cautioned against heating up the polity with 2015, saying “as a serious party, we are supporting Mr. President to deliver and he can only do this if he is not distracted.”
On when members could commence campaign to realize their 2015 ambition, he said the party would take a decision on that.
He said, “At the right time, the party will take a decision as to when preparations would commence. We don’t want diversion and we don’t want to be diverted.”
The party chieftain added that every returnee members would be given a level playing field, adding that there would be no condition for reconciliation.
On why some of its members failed to accept defeat in the governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states, Mustapha said the position of the party was to congratulate whoever wins an election in a contest.
