Meanwhile, Former President Goodluck Jonathan reportedly said with the PDP in power in 2019, Nigerians should not think of hunger.

Jonathan said this as he spoke at PDP national convention in Abuja on Saturday, August 12, 2017 adding that even God loves the party.

The former president who lost to Muhammadu Buhari said it was not blasphemy to state that God actually loves the party just as he pleaded with Nigerians to support it ahead of 2019.
