Jonathan pledges more development, woos Rivers voters
(Nigeria) President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday said that
the Federal Government was determined to take development to all parts of the
country and asked the people of Rivers to massively vote for the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
Jonathan said this while addressing the PDP presidential
rally in Port Harcourt.
He said his administration had transformed the education
sector by establishing Federal universities in states that had none.
“ In our development, every part of Nigeria must be taken
along. You will agree with me that when we looked at university education, we
insisted that Federal Government must make sure that all Nigerian youths have
the opportunity for university education, we did not divide north or south.
“ We made sure that all the states that had no federal
universities, got federal universities and that is our focus.''
Jonathan urged Rivers people to vote for him and Vice
President Sambo, the party’s governorship candidate in the state, to enjoy
democracy dividends.
“ I can reassure that just work with us. Vote for us on February
14 and on February 28 for Wike and Ipalibo Banigo, and definitely, we must
leave indelible prints in Rivers State. Luckily, we have been challenged that we have
not done anything. We must do something.”
Addressing party faithful, First lady, Dame Patience
Jonathan urged Rivers people to vote for the PDP because the party belonged to
the state.
She also said PDP was the only party that gave women affirmative
right and gender friendly.
“ Rivers is PDP state and we have come back to take back our
mandate. To my constituency, the women
constituency, PDP is the only party that gave women 35 per cent affirmative
action. PDP is the only party that gave women attention. PDP is the only party
that knows that women are intelligent, honest and have what it takes to develop
this country.”
Former Super Eagles Captain, Joseph Yobo, urged the people
to vote for President Jonathan to move the country forward.
“ Vote and support President Goodluck Jonathan . He is the
only President that can lead us in a unified manner,’’ he said.
