Why Jonathan lost to Buhari – Gulak

…says he will sink with PDP than defect to APC

Immediate Political Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, has denied ever defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress, APC.

“I want to say that I will remain a staunch PDP member despite the loss of the presidential election by our great party. Rather than defect to the APC, I will join forces with like-minded Nigerians to make the PDP to bounce back in the years to come,” Gulak said.

Gulak said that he had before now drawn the attention of Mr. President to the fact that many of those who were brought into the PDP as key members were actually enemies and not committed members willing to work for the success of the party.

He said his views were not however taken seriously because of those who were working hard to tarnish him before the government and get him out of sight.

Gulak said the PDP lost the last election because of the unresolved nomination crisis that arose from the imposition of anointed candidates by top officials of the party in all the states of the federation.

“Across the country the nomination process was contrary to the party constitution. You could see that in some states, the candidates were imposed on the party and that alienated party faithful from the party and caused more division for the system.

“As human beings, not many will take time to think. But we have now seen where the party went wrong and we have to return to the drawing board with a view to winning in 2019.
