Although participants of the South-east Peoples Democratic Party Unity Rally have pleaded with President Goodluck Jonathan to declare for his second term bid, he said he would reveal his plans at appropriate time.
Several governors have today in their speeches appealed to Jonathan to declare his bid to run in 2015 election.
Responding, Jonathan told fellow PDP members that he would respond to their request "later". He, however, did not specify when exactly he will announce his decision.
He also said that PDP would easily win the 2015 governorship election in the South-East zone.
"You have even asked me question whose answer will come later. Our party chairman has said it all that PDP is the number one party in Nigeria we are yet to see number two, talk less of a rival part. There is no rival party in Nigeria, it is said that by their fruits you shall know them," president said.
The rally is a platform for the party members to consolidate PDP grip in the zone as part of efforts to reclaim
the two states lost to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
