2015 Election: Jonathan's Endorsement Divides Ndigbo's
President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election endorsement by a
group of Ndigbo’s caused ripples over the weekend in Awka, Anambra
State, during the Igbo Lecture Series organized by Ohaneze Ndigbo to
mark the 2014 Igbo Day celebration.
Daily Sun reports that a war of words erupted between the National Chairman of United Peoples Party (UPP), Chief Chekwas Okorie and the acting President of the Ijaw National Congress, Charles Ambaiowei, who disagreed over Igbo’s support for Jonathan’s presumed second term ambition.
Addressing the crowd at the lecture which held at the Women Development Centre, Awka, Okorie had expressed dissatisfaction over the unsolicited endorsement of Jonathan’s re-election bid by the Igbo.
According to him, the endorsement of Jonathan without any negotiation or concrete promise to the people of the South-East amounts to sycophancy.
