Orji: Jonathan Knows When to Declare" As President Goodluck Jonathan consults stakeholders across the country ahead of the 2015 presidential election, Abia State Governor, Chief Theodore Orji, on Monday night said the president knows the appropriate time to declare his second term bid. The governor spoke when he fielded questions from journalists, after a meeting of Peoples Democratic Party PDP) governors with Jonathan. Orji equally disclosed that the meeting was in compliance with what Jonathan promised that he would be meeting regularly with PDP governors. “He met with us today and we reviewed party activities, especially the rallies that we are going to hold in the states and zonal levels. “The rallies are meant to sensitise the people. In Owerri, we are going to receive some people who are coming back to the party. In other states where people are coming back to the party, they will be received formally. We discussed about the party affairs,” the governor said. On whether ongoing consultations have to do with president’s declaration for second term, Orji said: “It is the president who knows when to declare. This consultation is what a president should do. A president should consult with his people, that is what he is doing. Declaration is not the issue now. “The president will declare when he wants to, he will tell you if he wants to run or not. As of now, what he is doing is to interact with stakeholders and that is the function of the president to meet with his people.”
