The clamour for President Goodluck Jonathan's second term in office continued yesterday as some South-south chiefs, elders and leaders yesterday voiced their support for him in the forthcoming general election, saying 2015 is not negotiable.
This was as the Ijaw leader and elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark,
declared that if the South-south could support former president, Alhaji
Shehu Shagari, who was removed by Muhammadu Buhari in a coup for two
terms, there was no reason why the North should not support Jonathan for
two terms.
The South-south leaders, elders and chiefs mandated its Board of
Trustees (BoT) headed by the former Inspector General of Police (IGP),
Mike Okiro, to drive the process of mobilising support for the president
in collaboration with the executive committee of the South-south
community.
