The ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP has said that record of performance in office will determine the chance of President Goodluck Jonathan and other politicians who may be interested in picking its tickets for elective offices in 2015.

National publicity secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh, who stated this yesterday while speaking with reporters in Abuja, urged such aspirants presently holding public office to ensure that they deliver on the party  manifesto, as only performance would determine those who would pick its tickets in 2015. Metuh noted that the national chairman of the party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur has always restated his concern that the party manifesto should not be observed in the breach, as such could undermine the party’s fortunes.

“We will not come to Nigerians until we see that we have delivered, at least, 50 per cent of our electoral promises. The PDP will ensure that the government  delivers on their promises,  2015 is even far and we should get their first before we decide. Our stand will apply to all our elected representatives in the national assembly,  and our governors as well. This is why the national leadership had stated categorically that the PDP will assist,  supervise and monitor  the activities and  performance of its elected officers from the national,state and local government.
“So, the party is watching  those  elected on its platform at all levels, to deliver on their promises to the electorate . That’s the
only way, PDP will maintain its position as the number one party in Nigeria’’, he stated.
Asked if the stand  of the PDP National Working Committee will also apply to who picks its presidential ticket, the national publicity secretary said ‘’The President hasn’t said that he is running.’’
