President Jonathan.
Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, a member of Board of Trustees, BoT
of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has promised that Ndigbo
would still vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 presidential
election, despite lack of federal presence in the Southeast
geo-political zone.
Vanguard reports that Ezeonwuka, on Friday advised that in as much as Ndigbo has already made up their minds to vote massively for Jonathan in 2015, the President on his part should be ready to reach an accord with Ndigbo in order for him to have the guarantee for Igbo votes.
He, however, lamented that for over 15 years the PDP has been in power, it failed to maintain Eastern roads built within only four years by the Shehu Shagari administration.
“We will vote for Jonathan on the condition that he has to speed up the second Niger Bridge project, maintain Eastern roads, give us uninterrupted power supply and ensure federal presence in the Southeast region,” Ezeonwuka said.
The APGA chieftain further stated that the party as an Igbo party has already endorsed Jonathan for the second tenure, despite of all odds.
He noted that it is now left for President Jonathan to reciprocate the gesture by swinging into action to fulfill his own part of the deal when he starts his second tenure.
It would be recalled that Ndigbo Cultural Society of Nigeria (NCSN) recently warned members of the National Assembly and House of Reps against the purported plot to impeach President Jonathan from office.
Meanwhile, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, an Igbo socio-cultural organisation, had earlier fixed date to unanimously decide on their support for Jonathan’s second term ambition in the 2015 presidential election.
