PDP Secretary, Olisa Metuh
By SaharaReporters, New York
The ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), today called on President Goodluck Jonathan and other elected members of the party to be ready to make personal sacrifices and self-denial.
The party said in an unusual statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, this is what Nigerians expect from them as their leaders.
It also said that underperforming elected officials of the party in public offices would not be allowed to fly the party’s flag in 2015, an unprecedented acknowledgement that some of its officials have failed to live up to public expectation.
