This may have laid to rest, speculations on whether Vice President Namadi Sambo would return as President Jonathan’s running mate in next year’s election or not.
In a statement by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, since Vice President Sambo has been part of the winning team as described by NEC last Thursday, he equally enjoys the overwhelming confidence of the party in a winning team which according to him, he has demonstrably transformed Nigeria in less than four years despite challenges.
Describing Sambo as part of the Winning team, Metuh said, “The Peoples Democratic Party has decried attempts by a section of the media to impute rift between President Goodluck Jonathan and his Vice, Arc. Mohammed Namadi Sambo ahead of the 2015 general elections, expressing implicit satisfaction in the working relationship between them and further affirming the Vice President as part of the winning team.”
Long and short he (Mr Vice) is contesting with Mr President.
