2015: We will defeat any PDP candidate – Aregbesola Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has described as mission impossible, the recent statement credited to President Goodluck Jonathan, that the Peoples Democratic Party must win at least 23 states in 2015 general elections. The governor who spoke at a quarterly interactive programme with newsmen, Ogbeni Till Daybreak, on Friday, said the president and PDP were only bragging. He said that the party was beatable. He said, “They are free to brag; this is the season of political bragging. Politicians brag when election is near.” Jonathan recently at the Wadata Plaza, national headquarters of the PDP in Abuja during the party’s 61st National Executive Committee meeting said the PDP would win at least 23 states in 2015. However, the Governor has dismissed the rumour by the PDP that he slapped his Deputy, Mrs Titi Laoye-Tomori. Aregbesola, who said he had never fought in his life, added that he had never beaten any of his children. He said, “A man who beats a woman is sick. More so, my Deputy is older than me. Can an Omoluabi (virtuous person) beat an elderly person? “It is what they (PDP) can do. They thought we are like them; no, we are not comparable. Killing and maiming were the order of the day when they ruled Osun State.” Aregbesola, who said the Action Congress of Nigeria will defeat any candidate presented by the PDP, stressed that the people of Osun could see the remarkable difference between the ACN and the PDP. “The PDP represents no threat at all. We will defeat anybody they put forward as candidate. Government exists to relieve the people of their burdens, but the PDP exacerbates the problems of the people,” he said.
