Balewa told journalists in Abuja that he stepped down for Jonathan so that the PDP would be more focused towards the 2015 general elections.He said, “Did I join the presidential race to acquire some popularity? I am not popular before now? I have lived outside this country; I am better known worldwide than a lot of our leaders because of the work that I have done whether in Nuclear Chemistry or Medicine. I have done well in life.”Balewa, who had picked the PDP presidential nomination form, later withdrew for President Goodluck Jonathan.While promising to abide by the PDP decision, he said as a loyal party member, he was ready to work with Jonathan to develop the country.
