Nigeria 2015 Election: Stay Away From N’Delta, APC Tells Jonathan

 The All Progressives Congress, APC has asked President Goodluck Jonathan and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to stay away from the Niger Delta region ahead of the 2015 general elections due to their alleged neglect of the region.


A statement on Thursday by the Rivers State Interim Chairman of the party, Dr. Ikanya Davies said that President Jonathan had no moral right to campaign in the Niger Delta region since his kinsmen had rejected him for disappointing them.
"Even though they lack shame, President Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party should for once respect themselves and stay away from the Niger Delta since even his kinsmen in Bayelsa State have rejected him for disappointing them.
"Certainly, President Jonathan and the PDP have lost every moral right to come and ask the people of the Niger Delta for their votes in 2015 considering the wickedness they have exhibited towards the people of the region.
"Jonathan’s occupation of the Aso Presidential Villa has proved to be a curse rather than a blessing to the Niger Delta. The situation is so bad that the Jonathan Presidency has failed to reconstruct the East-West road, which links the South-South with the South-Western parts of the country," the statement said.
The statement which was signed by the Senior Special Assistant to the state APC chairman, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, recalled that Mr. Timipreye Sylva, a former governor of Bayelsa state, had declared his support for the APC, saying that the majority of Bayelsa people were frustrated with Jonathan's administration and wanted a change.
In his reaction, the State PDP Secretary, Chief Walter Ibibia, explained that contrary to the position of the APC, President Jonathan and the PDP had done well for the people of Niger Delta and Nigeria in general.
