While Governor Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State led the PDP governors to address the crowd, President of the Senate, David Mark, led members of the two chambers of the National Assembly.
Akpabio asked Jonathan not to be intimidated ahead of the 2015 elections as all the PDP state governors are behind him.
Mark also promised that national lawmakers would continue to support the President within the purview of the separation of power.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s public declaration of interest in the 2015 presidential election gets underway in Abuja.
The colourful event is holding under tight security at the Eagles Square, Abuja.
Jonathan arrived the venue at about 11:40am in company with his wife, Patience; the President of the Senate, David Mark; and some Peoples Democratic Party governors.
On arrival, he went round the arena to acknowledge greetings from Nigerians from all walks of life who defied the scorching sun in the Federal Capital Territory to witness the rally.
Security men had hectic time controlling the surging crowd of young and old who were on ground to witness the declaration.
Different artistes from all parts of the country are also performing at the well-attended programme.
