Why Jonathan must be re-elected

Why Jonathan must be re-elected– Umeh

National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, yesterday, said that if Nigerians were indeed interested in the unity and well being of the country, President Goodluck Jonathan should be re-elected.

Umeh, who is the APGA Senatorial candidate for Anambra Central Senatorial District, said Nigeria needed the implementation of the resolutions of the National Conference to move forward hence, the need to elect the man who had promised to implement it.

He spoke with newsmen at Agulu-uzoigbo in Anaocha Local Government Area shortly before a tactical meeting of his campaign team, which was attended by National and State assemblies candidates as well as chairmen of the seven local government areas in the district.

Umeh stated that the implementation of the National Conference resolutions would reposition the Igbo structurally in Nigeria and urged Ndigbo to support the re-election of President Jonathan to facilitate the actualisation of the resolutions.

Noting that the All Progressives Congress (APC) dissociated itself and stayed away from the National Conference, where the future and unity of the nation was openly discussed, Umeh said a Federal Government under the leadership of APC would throw the resolution to the trash bin.

He said: “It is clear that since the APC opposed the conference, it would be foolhardy of anyone to think the party would talk about confab recommendations if elected.”

The APGA boss commended President Jonathan for taking up the challenge of organising the conference, which many leaders before him dared not discuss and pleaded with Nigerians to massively vote to re-elect Jonathan to enable him implement the recommendations of the conference for a new Nigeria where justice, fairness and equal rights prevail.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...
