Former captain of Nigeria’s senior male football team, Super Eagles – Joseph Yobo – has stated that President Goodluck Jonathan deserves another term in office as he has verifiable projects to back up his claim to a re-election.
Yobo made the assertion as an Ambassador of The Peoples Democratic Party Ward to Ward Initiative in Lagos on Friday, February 6, 2015 at a gathering of pro-Jonathan groups of different sectors of the Igbo community gathered at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Festac Town
Also present at the gathering were the co-ordinator of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, Prince Eke Obi, Executive Director TAN, Ifeanyi Ekwulugo, Dan Edokwe, ED, TAN, Mrs Uche Obiora, Women Leader, TAN,, Joseph Anurukem, Presidents of Enugu and Ebonyi States town unions.
Yobo advised the people to go about voting for President Jonathan without violence as the President’s transformation agenda could only be achieved in an atmosphere of peace, devoid of rancour. He therefore charged Nigerians and the youths in particular to reject any attempt by desperate politicians to use them as thugs before, during and after the forthcoming elections,
He said: “Nobody should allow those who want to cause trouble have their way.The youths of this country must stand up and support what is good and say no to evil. All Nigerian youths must work towards a free, fair and violence free elections. Those fanning the embers of war have taken their families abroad. So, don’t be deceived.”
The former Everton of England defender, while canvassing support for President Jonathan said: “It is my personal conviction because I believe he is the best man to lead Nigeria. He has achieved so much despite the countless distractions, and he has promised to do more.
“When you hear the President speak, you hear facts, realities and achievements and they are there for all to see.”
