Indigenes of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and geo-political leaders yesterday expressed their support for President Goodluck Jonathan for 2015.
They also revealed their planned rally to demonstrate their commitment to the President for his “giant strides” in the territory.
Chairman of the group, FCT Indigenes and Geo-political Leaders Forum for Goodluck 2015 and former Ambassador to Gambia, Ayuba Jacob Ngbako, said this at a press conference in Abuja.
He said: We believe that steering a ship to course when the wind is in favour requires a good helms man. To successfully captain a ship against the tide, buffeted on all sides by the vagaries of whether, as President Jonathan has done these past years attest to exceptional dexterity deserving commendation.
“We further believe that an exceptional leader be encouraged, nay nudged, to continue with transformation agenda and creating dividends that have effect on people. Hence, our yes for Jonathan 2015 campaign.”
He also said the mission of the Forum was “to showcase the dividends and the giant strides of the transformation agenda of the President which FCT indigenes and other Nigerians, who cast their votes in Abuja during elections, have benefited.”
Commending the National Working Committee of the PDP, the Board of Trustee (BOT) and the PDP governors for endorsing Jonathan, the ex-envoy said the October 9, rally would unveil presentation of signatories of FCT indigenes endorsing Jonathan for 2015.
The Forum, which had the backing of FCT indigenes and Stakeholders Forum, Committee of FCT federal appointees, FCT National Assembly members, National Association of Market Women, FCT Councillors Forum, among others, has Chief Bello Premier as its national coordinator.
