Re-election: Pres.Jonathan To Meet Emirs.

President Goodluck Jonathan is rushing to emirs in a last–ditch effort to win the March 28 election.

Jonathan is scheduled to meet with the monarchs tomorrow in Kaduna to make what a source described as a “strong case” for his re-election.

The president will move to Adamawa State, for the third time in three months, to salvage the dwindling chances of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), occasioned by the cracks in the party’s structure.

He will meet three emirs/ traditional rulers from each of the 19 states in the North, The Nation learnt.

Some of the royal fathers arrived in Abuja yesterday en route Kaduna.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said the president was worried that his chances in the North were getting slimmer.

Out of the three geopolitical zones in the North, Jonathan has not been having it easy in the Northwest and Northeast, despite having a vice president from the North.

The game appears even between the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in North-Central, with the opposition stronger in Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Benue and Plateau.

It was learnt that Jonathan has decided to take his destiny in his own hands by reaching out to the emirs.

Although the president has two of the respected emirs covertly coordinating for his plans, it was gathered that he felt it was “politically safe enough” for him to address the larger body.
