Don’t vote for armed robbers, liars –Gov Elechi

LATEST UPDATE: Don’t vote for armed robbers, liars –Gov Elechi

FROM JEFF AMECHI AGBODO, ABAKALIKI

Governor Martin El­echi of Ebonyi State yesterday described President Goodluck Jona­than as a leader that is unbeatable by any other candidate in 2015 general elections due to his achieve­ments in the last four years.

Elechi however urged the people of the state not to vote for ‘armed robbers and liars’ who he said placed their pic­tures side by side with that of President Jonathan in or­der to seek support and vote through the President but who he claimed lack integ­rity.

The governor stated this yesterday while addressing supporters at the Abakaliki Township Stadium during a mega rally organized by the state government in sup­port of President Goodluck Jonathan’s second term bid in 2015.

Elechi said that it was due to the numerous achieve­ments of the President that people are clamouring for his return in 2015, saying that President Jonathan doesn’t discriminate on the basis of religion, ethnicity and race.

He asked: “Ebonyians will you vote for robbers? will you vote for liars? At a time we were being tempted, our state working committee of the party is being tempted. We continue to appeal to you to be steadfast, to remain calm and don’t resort to vio­lence, that means not out of fear but out of love for our people because if there is violence and you cannot vote that means you deny Jona­than your votes, we know their tricks, they are armed robbers.”

“Despite all odds, Jona­than is not deterred to do jus­tice to all manner of people not minding who is against him, that is our role model, that is what we replicate ev­erywhere in Nigeria, more especially in Ebonyi State” Elechi stated.

The Chairman of the occa­sion, Chief Fidelis Nwankwo said that the state was in full support of Mr. President and that informed the massive support at the rally.

He enumerated the achievements of the Presi­dent to include the recon­struction of Abakaliki-Enugu road, Abakaliki-Obubura- Ogoja road, Mpu-Ohaozara- Akaeze road, Establishment of Federal University at Ndufu Alike Ikwo, takeover of VVF Hospital, Federal Teaching Hospital etc.

Others who spoke at the rally include Senator Em­manuel Onwe, Senator Chris Nwankwo, and Senator Sonny Ogbuorji, immediate past minister of Health Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu.

Former deputy governor, Prof. Chigozie Ogbu ap­plauded President Jonathan for the good works he had done in the state and in Nige­ria as a whole.
