Femi Fani Kayode blast Governor Rochas Okoroch of Imo State, explains why Ndigbo should vote for President Jonathan.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Campaign Organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode has called on Ndigbo to vote President Goodluck Jonathan for the March 28 election, saying he has the Ndigbo at heart. Fani-Kayode spoke in Umuahia Sunday when he and the campaign team visited the state as part of their tour of the states in the zones of the country. Fani-Kayode added that no other leader in Nigeria has done to Ndigbo what President has so far done to them. “His unflagging love for the South-East zone has crystallized in a high number of Igbo sons and daughters serving in the present Federal Cabinet. President Jonathan’s government, as you know, was the first to appoint an Igbo military officer as the Chief of Army staff. Records have shown that it is only the government of President Jonathan that re-constructed the Enugu International Airport while also remodeling the Imo Airport. “Indeed, the conversion of the Enugu Airport to an International Airport is considered critical to the economic survival of the people of the Southeast. We are happy to list the ability of people from south-east to tap from the You-Win initiative of the Jonathan’s government for economic benefits. “The government holds the credit for constructing the Enugu-Port Harcourt dual carriage way as well as the rehabilitation of the Enugu-Port Harcourt rail-line. We will not forget to mention the construction of the second Niger Bridge which was started by President Jonathan. The south-east states have also benefited from the progress recorded by the education sector under the government of President Jonathan with federal universities built in Ebonyi, Abia, Imo and Enugu states”, Fani-Kayode said. He also blasted the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, over his claim that Buhari would win the presidential election, hence the need for Ndigbo to vote for him. “Let me seize this opportunity to dispel the shameful deceit and propaganda of the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha. He has said that the Igbo people should not waste their votes by INVESTING them in our Presidential candidate on the basis that the rest of Nigeria will vote for Buhari. This is a lie from the pit of hell. “Okorocha knows very well that all parts of Nigeria are rooting for President Jonathan, including the north where General Buhari hails from. We trust that you will never be cowed by the APC’s cheap propaganda and false claims,” he said.
