Lar predicts victory for Jonathan

BY KINGSLEY OMONOBI

ABUJA-Founding chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dr. Solomon Lar, has predicted a massive win for President Goodluck Jonathan in the April 9th presidential election.

He gave the prediction during an interactive session with newsmen, saying the PDP presidential candidate would not only record a landslide victory but will also go down in history as the first president of Nigeria to rake-in the highest votes cast.

According to him, insinuations in some quarters that the presidential polls will go into a run-off is only a figment of imagination of those he called regional political jobbers desperately looking for cheap public attention.

Chief Lar explained that Goodluck and his running mate, Namadi Sambo, have worked so hard, selling their vision and programme to the people, and that this had positioned them in the minds of all Nigerians and, indeed, the electorate.
