A leader of the Itsekiri nation in Delta State, Dr. Alex Ideh, has explained why the ethnic group abandoned President Goodluck Jonathan, for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). The group said Jonathan, who is presidential standard bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, had failed the Niger Delta people. The APC chieftain, in a statement issued on Saturday, said people of the region and other geo-political zones in the country would, therefore, cast their votes en masse for the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), in the election scheduled for next week. According to him, “The outcome of the election will affirm the Itsekiri’s massive support for a Buhari presidency. Jonathan has failed the Itsekiri people through denial of economic empowerment and demonstration of ethnic jingoism. “The President, in November last year, was supposed to have come to perform the groundbreaking of the $16bn Export Processing Zone at Ogidigben, which is an Itsekiri community, but refused to do so 48 hours to the event, because of protests from the Ijaw community led by an ex-militant, Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo), who told the President that his security could not be guaranteed 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 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,” he said. http://www.nigerianmonitor.com/2015/03/15/why-we-abandoned-jonathan-for-buhari-itsekiri-people/ 2 Likes |

He will soon deny ever saying this, Itshekiris are 99% for Jonathan. That was how they said Obasanjo and APGA endorsed Buhari. #Apcjokers 2 Likes |

Mr Jona is busy sharing dollars in the Southwest whereas the people of his region are unhappy with the poor achievement of his tenure. What a president! 1 Like |

SeverusSnape: Big lie.....i live in warri and it is no secret dat d itsekiri's are anti-GEJ for d following reason. 1. Refusal to commission epz 2. Empowering of Tompolo who d itsekiri pple see as a threat to d itsekiri nation. 3. Should jonathan rule anoda 4yrs Tompolo wud be 2 powerful dat d itsekiri's wud be under his control. |

SeverusSnape:but did obasanjo nt really endorse buhari? Obj just doesnt want to say openly he is apc, so that he would play the game as a stateman. U have lost touch 4rm the fact that gej became the president of the ijaw and nt nigeria. And with the ethnic war btw ijaw and itesikri, itesikri rather sleep with dogs than on the same bed with ijaws |
| Re: Why We Abandoned Jonathan For Buhari – Itsekiri People by amakaobiemeka: 7:07am On Mar 17, 2015 |
the tempo seems to be favouring Buhari that the President thought he could quickly come and visit Olu of Warri and give explanations. Tanoids would tell u that gmb momentum is only on social media just to console their pathetic selves. As if the people on social media are ghosts. This is a niger delta man to the core telling u that the tempo favours buhari. |

amakaobiemeka:Jonathan an Ijaw president  ...damn!, can't you see that even his own people are complaining that he favoured the north more than them?...Jonathan has been a Nigerian president and you know it, Stop all these sentiments. The ijaws are voting Jonathan just because he's their son, same with the itsekiris. So saying GEJ was an Ijaw president is totally wrong!. |

The itsekiris are at the verge of making the worst mistake of their lives.When Jonathan wins and Buhari fails,what will be their faith? They will surely cry"had I known" and that will be too late for them. |
