Why Itsekiri Dumped Jonathan For Buhari –ideh by anigbajumo(m): 8:04am On Mar 15, 2015 |
• · Insists Atiku won’t quit APC Itsekiri leader and Secretary of the APC National Convention Committee, Dr. Alex Tosan Ideh, has said that the Itsekiri will vote massively for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, in the March 28 election. Ideh, in a statement in Warri, Delta State, said President Jonathan has failed the people through denial of economic empowerment and demonstration of ethnic politics. He said: “Jonathan was supposed to have come to perform the groundbreaking of the $16 billion Export Processing Zone at Ogidigben, which is an Itsekiri community, in November last year. But he refused to do so 48 hours to the event because of protest from the Ijaw community led by an ex-militant, Government Ekpemupolo a.k.a Tompolo, who told the President that ‘he could not guarantee his (President’s) security’ if he dared to come. “Nobody from the presidency thought it fit to come and give any explanation. It is now that elections are around the corner and the tempo seems to be favouring Buhari that the President thought he could quickly come and visit the Olu of Warri and give explanations. “We feel he is giving too much credence to ethnic considerations because the instigated protest was coming from his people.” Ideh, national treasurer of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), said the return of Gen. Buhari from the United Kingdom had put an end to the lull in the political space. “We are fully back to the turf not just to play but to win the political game outright and move Nigeria forward,” he stated Ideh said that Delta State governor, despite being a PDP member, is the most humiliated under the present administration. He said: “Under Jonathan’s PDP, Uduaghan is seen as the most humiliated governor in the whole country. First, he was arm-twisted by Jonathan’s government to drop an Itsekiri chairmanship candidate for one of Jonathan’s kinsmen in the October 2014 local government election. “Second, Uduaghan’s much publicised senatorial ambition was thrown out in favour of another Jonathan’s kinsman. Even his attempt to secure an ordinary House of Assembly seat for one of his trusted aides was scuttled. “And, of course, we all know that after many months of struggle, he had no input in who is likely to succeed him in the Asaba Government House. Uduaghan is a wrong barometer to determine Itsekiris support for Gen Buhari and the APC in Delta State.” http://thenationonlineng.net/new/why-itsekiri-dumped-jonathan-for-buhari-ideh/ 1 Like |
