President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday in Osogbo, Osun State said his administration would reduce the challenges of terrorism in the country if re-elected.
Jonathan, who made the promise at the Peoples Democratic Party campaign, said the security challenges in the country would not be forever.
He said: “This terrorism cannot last forever.
“If my administration is re-elected, terror will be minimal.”
On unemployment, Jonathan said he would create two million jobs on a yearly basis if re-elected.
Jonathan, who said that 1.8 million youths entered into labour market on a yearly basis, promised that his administration would continue to tackle the issue of unemployment in the country.
The President then urged the people of the state to vote for him during the February 14 presidential election.
He said his administration’s transformation programme in the railway sector, agriculture, electricity among others, was enough to earn him a second term in office.
According to Jonathan, his administration will do more for the development of the country if re-elected.
:We are not saying this because we want to win the election but because our party stands for development,” he added.
Earlier, Vice President Namadi Sambo had called for the support of the people during the election.
Sambo said the President‘s transformation agenda in the area of electricity, education, agriculture among others was enough for him to win the election.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that dignitaries at the rally included the PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mua’zu; the Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Tony Anenih; and Governor Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State.
Others were Prof. Jerry Gana and Alhaji Amadu Ali, the Director General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Committee.
