Jonathan Supporters Mobilise For Tinubu
Meanwhile, supporters of Former President, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, have commenced grassroots mobilisation and campaign for the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and his Vice Presidential running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima.
The group, Citizens Network for Peace and Development in Nigeria (CNPDN), has begun grassroots mobilisation in the Southeast and the Southsouth.
The coalition called for the immediate resignation of all Southsouth governors, especially Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, for breaching the agreement of the Southern Governors’ Forum for power shift from the North to the South in 2023.
The pro-Jonathan group kicked off their campaign in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, insisting that the next President must come from the South.
In a statement yesterday in Abuja, the coalition’s National Secretary Francis Okereke Wainwei, who hails from Bayelsa State, said CNPDN unanimously resolved to support and vote for Asiwaju Tinubu in the 2023 general election.
He said the decision of the group for power shift was in alignment with the position of the Northern Governors’ Forum of the APC and the Southern Governors’ Forum, which had agreed that the South should produce the next President.
Wainwei said the coalition’s position was for the promotion of national unity, equity, fairness and justice as its basis for supporting a Southern Presidency in 2023
“Our position that the next President of this country should come from the South is driven by the same vision and principle that will strengthen the unity and peace of the nation. It will give a better sense of belonging to the people of Southern Nigeria and foster a more viable peaceful co-existence among Nigerians.
