Former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
Goodluck Jonathan, former president on Thursday said he enjoyed
more support from the South East than his region, South South when he
was in power.
He made the disclosure in Onitsha, Anambra State during the grand
finale of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship campaign
candidate in Anambra, Oseloka Obaze.
Jonathan urged Nigerians to collectively defend and stand firm for democracy.
The former president applauded the people of the South East, saying, “I got more support from the South-East than I got from the South-South where I come from”.
He said, “We must collectively defend democracy in the country
because no matter what you are, until you are able to elect your leader
peacefully, the international community will not take you as developed
society.
“Where elections are manipulated, there is no election. We use
this opportunity to mobilise all Nigerians, especially the people of the
state to stand firm for democracy and to do everything to protect
democracy.”
Recall that the former President also said Anambra had remained a PDP state since the beginning of democracy in 1999 till date.
The former president had also said 80 per cent of the people were still members of the party.
