We Will Vote Jonathan If… -tiv Elder by Abiolainfo: 2:08pm On Nov 19, 2014 |
A prominent Tiv elder and frontline political grassroot mobilizer, Chief Iorapuu Amile, has said that the Tiv people will vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the next general elections only if he considers them worthy of a senior minister slot in his cabinet. He stated this in a chat with The Punch in Gboko local government area, the traditional home of the Tivs. He said, “The President (Jonathan) is our brother by extension since he is also a minority and the only condition that will make us vote for him in the next general election is for him to promise us a slot for a senior ministerial appointment. “This I believe is not too much for him considering the numerical strength of the Tiv people as adjudged to be the fourth largest ethnic group in the country.” Amile who was the chairman of the defunct National Republican Convention, Gboko local government chapter, maintained that it was not right for the Tiv people not to have had a senior minister throughout Jonathan’s first tenure. He said, “Let the President himself see to it that there has been a high level of political and economic injustices meted on our people throughout his first tenure and we are simply saying there must be a change for us to be with him.” The former NRC chairman added that marginalisation of his people has reached an “unbearable and unacceptable stage.” Source: http//:www.punchng.com/news/we-will-vote-jonathan-if-tiv-elder/ |
