He posited that the coming election is all about consolidation, partnership with the federal government, in order to ensure that government do more good things for the citizenry.

Chief Ohakim assured President Jonathan of total support and massive votes of Imo citizenry and thanked him of heeding to Imo peoples cries by in approving several projects in the state.

Responding, President Jonathan noted that Imo people and indeed people of the Southeast are very enterprising with industrial acumen hence his government would establish industrial complexes in the southeast to absorb the peoples’ efforts.

He thanked the mammoth crowd for their commitment to the PDP and enjoined them to vote for Governor Ohakim in the gubernatorial election because “he is somebody I can trust”.

Also speaking, Vice President Namadi Sambo said that Imo has made a wise decision by supporting President Jonathan for he has good intentions for the country.

Earlier while speaking on behalf of Imo people, a member of PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu opined that the emergence of Jonathan was out of the prayers and believes of Nigerians and that the persons of the president and his vice are God’s designs to lift Nigeria out of the woods.
