President Goodluck Jonathan has
assured that the South East zone
would get an additional state to bring
them at par with other zones in the
country.
Jonathan who gave
the assurance
yesterday during a reception
organised for him by the Imo State
Council of Traditional Rulers in
Owerri , the Imo State capital, said
that if he is re- elected, he would
ensure that the recommendation of
the just concluded National
Conference on state creation is
implemented.
He said the proper thing to do is to
ensure that the South East geo-
political zone with only five states,
gets additional one as recommended
by the National Conference for
equality before any other zone
agitating for additional state is
considered.
President Jonathan said he was
elated for the massive support he
had received from the zone, adding
that he was sure that the same
support would be given to him and
his party in the general elections to
enable him consolidate on the
achievements of his administration
so far.
“The South East is the support base
of the PDP and I am here again to
solicit for your supports and blessing
in the Saturday election.
“It is a rare privilege for me because
the South East has not supported
anybody the way they have
supported me since 2011 and in the
next four years, I will ensure that
the zone benefit more in terms of
projects and most importantly, I will
also ensure that the
recommendation of the National
Conference which has been adopted
by the Federal Executive Council
(FEC), is religiously implemented.”
He appealed to traditional rulers to
mobilize their people to cast their
votes for all the PDP candidates at all
levels.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Imo
State Council of Traditional Rulers
and Chairman, South East Council of
Traditional Rulers, Eze Cletus
Ilomunanya said that they are solidly
behind the re-election of President
Jonathan, because he has done
marvelously well in the last four
years.
He appealed to the president to
come and rescue the royal fathers in
the state as they have suffered so
much deprivation in the hand of
those who do not understand how
the traditional institution operates.
