President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said the Peoples Democratic Party would recapture all its ‘stolen mandates’ in Kwara on or before the 2015 general elections.
Jonathan gave this assurance when he received some PDP elders and political officeholders from Kwara in Abuja.
The president assured those members of the National Assembly who decided to remain in the PDP for better days ahead would never regret their action.
“In 2015, we will know who owns Kwara and if God gives us the opportunity, which I believe, probably we will even test our strength before 2015.
“All stolen mandates will return to PDP and those who think that they can run away with our mandates, they should have a rethink.
“We must take over the state structures of the party, the governor and the state assembly, we must take all because it is easy to reach the grassroots through the states than the centre.
“As a member of the assembly who refused to defect, you will have nothing to regret. Just celebrate it. If they think that PDP will allow them to run away with it, they will see it.
“So, any state we are unable to win, members of the party in that state will continue to live like orphans. So, definitely, we are taking Kwara,’’ he said.
