igbo-dialogue

The Imo Elders Parliament has called on President Goodluck Jonathan to run for re-election in next year’s presidential poll. Speaking in Owerri, Secretary General of the elders’ group, Dr. Greg Nduka, said the group anchored its call on what it termed President Jonathan’s strides in transforming Nigeria to a greater height despite security challenges since he assumed office.
It also congratulated the president for successfully convoking the recently concluded national conference and commended his administration for fixing many federal roads across the country.
The group stated that it was on this premise that it, “therefore, calls on Mr. President to contest the 2015 presidential poll,” assuring him of support of Imo people.
In another development, the group is drumming support for Mr. Ken Ojiri, a gubernatorial aspirant in Imo State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),  saying after its tour of the 27 local councils of the state and having sampled the opinion of the electorate on all the governorship contenders, it realised that only Ojiri was the most credible aspirant, with unblemished track and good academic and philanthropic background.
