The Hon.  Tunde Akogun explained that Gen. Muhammed Buhari candidate for Congress for Political Change (CPC) could not match President Goodluck Jonathan in national spread.

These qualities of Goodluck Jonathan, the presidential flag bearer of the ruling party had scored  him a winning vote in the 2011 April polls.

Speaking to journalists shortly after the PDP Zonal Presidential Rally in Port Harcourt, Hon. Tunde Akogun noted that , Dr Jonathan had a edge over the rest due to his intellectual stamina and dynamism.

Hon. Tunde also leader of the House of Representatives said for the first time, aside late President Umaru Yar-Adua, the country is having an intellectual and academician at the saddle of leadership, a quality, which he noted, makes him fit to face challenges in governance in an emerging democracy.

Hon. Akogun said “Jonathan has all the experience and dynamism to pilot the affairs of the country”.

The federal lawmakers from Edo State argued that since the country wanted a generational change, the PDP presidential aspirant symbolised a new phase in the nation’s polity.

The former Rivers State Commissioner for Education remarked that the people of the region did  not have any alternative but to ensure that their son emerged victorious at the polls.
