PDP's plan to push out APC in 2019

President Goodluck Jonathan will not run for the presidency in 2019, a member of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Ebenezer Babatope has disclosed.

Babatope, who is also a member of the party's elders' caucus, said the party would shop for a strong Hausa/Fulani candidate to run against the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019.

"The President will not contest the 2019 presidential election. The PDP will look for a strong Hausa/Fulani presidential candidate to contest against Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

"We have a strong presence in the South-South, South-East and we have two governors in the South-West. We are going to slug it out together in the North in 2019. We are going to flush out the APC in 2019 because we are going to correct our mistakes and take back the central government."

Do you believe the PDP would take back power in 2019?
