Chairman of Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), Chief Tony Anenih has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to decide his political future at the end of this month or latest by October so that preparations can begin in earnest.

Anenih gave the advice on Sunday night during the PDP post convention dinner at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja. He said that taking such a decision was necessary towards giving the party a proper direction.

It would be recalled that Anenih it was, who made a controversial proposal that President Jonathan should be given an automatic ticket to contest the 2015 presidential election – a move that was seen as denying other potential candidates the right to vie for the ruling party’s ticket.

Anenih said: “I will appeal to our leader, the President of this country, that at the end of September or as we enter October, we should not tell anybody that the time is not right. I think the time is right. It is good that we tell our people where we are going to; what our journey will be like.”

Referring to the on-going reconciliatory efforts in the party, he said: “We must be seen as a team and not as a group”.

He acknowledged that all was not well under the umbrella but assured that all the disputes will be settled.

“We will not fire any shot but we will win the war,” Anenih said, adding: “We will not recognise opposition within PDP. We will work together as a team so that by 2015 we will come here again to shake hands. We stand for unity and discipline. Nobody will be spared if he behaves out of indiscipline. We will do everything to bring everybody together.”
