Ex President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has said he won’t sleep well if the People Democratic Party(PDP) does not return to Power in 2019.

Taking responsibility for the poor performance of the party in that election, Jonathan said his focus now is to take the PDP to its former position.

He spoke when he received a chairmanship aspirant of the PDP, Bode George at his Otuoke residence in Bayelsa state.

“Whether I like it or not, I must take responsibility for the defeat because I led the party to the election,” the media team of George quoted Jonathan as saying.

The former president said he was working with other stakeholders to ensure that the party was well organised to take back power.

Promising that the mistakes of the past would not be repeated, Jonathan advised the party to take steps to regain the confidence of the electorate.

“My priority now is how to ensure that the Peoples Democratic Party regains the presidency in 2019… The only thing that will make me sleep well is to ensure that the PDP comes back to power.”
