President Goodluck Jonathan will tomorrow pick up the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) nomination form for the 2015 presidential elections.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, disclosed this to State House journalists yesterday.

Abati said Jonathan had received amounts totaling N98.66 million as donations from a spectrum of Nigerians to help him pay the required N22 million for the PDP presidential nomination fee and expression of interest form.

He said Jonathan was encouraged by the outpouring of goodwill and support as well as the confidence of Nigerians in his ability to continue to transform the country for the good of its entire people.

Meanwhile, reports say the PDP have refused to sell its presidential nomination forms to other aspirant other than Jonathan.

At least two aspirants are said to have paid the required N22 million for the forms and expression of interest but they were not given the forms.
