Igbo kwenu!! Igbo kwenu!! Ndigbo kwezuo nu!!
President Jonathan has undoubtedly proven to be of Igbo extract with his meaningful developments and the positive contributions to the people of South-Eastern Nigeria.
Jonathan has tremendously transformed the South-East, he has fulfilled all his campaign promises to Ndigbo and as such, he must be one of or even the best Nigerian politician that contributed enormously to the development of Ndigbo.
This reminds me of a Hausa saying "rana bata karya, sai dai uwar diya tayi kunya", meaning: The days promises are made, definitely come and emerge in broad day light leaving the promisor in shyness for not fulfilling such promises. President Jonathan will never hide in shame as he has kept to his campaign promises and can now walk joyfully in any Igbo territory. Indeed, fresh air has circulated in and out of the South-East.
Mr. President has overshadowed all Nigerian leaders in taking democratic dividends to Ndigbo carpeting the like of Nnamdi Azikiwe and has brought joy to the people of Igbo origin than any known human. I see nothing that can warrant withdrawal of the massive support Jonathan is enjoying from Ndigbo.
In 2015, it will be a shame if Ndigbo failed to return Ebele Jonathan as President and Commander in Chief of the Arm Forces. It will equally be a disaster to Ndigbo if Jonathan is defeated as in my opinion, there will never be a president after Jonathan that will devote selflessly to the development of Igbo land and Igbo people. So it should be a "do or die" affair for all Ndigbo in seeing Jonathan return in 2015 as Nigeria's no one citizen.
The love Mr. President has for Ndigbo can't be compared to anything less than a handful. The protection Mr. Jonathan gave to Stella Oduah against Igbo hatters is one best example of the love he has in stock for the people of South-East. He defended Mrs Stella against Igbo hatters who falsely accused her of buying two cars at a miraculous price of a tokumbo jet and later accused her of certificate forgery. The passion Mr. President attached to Ndigbo will never allow Igbo hatters to succeed.
The last November gubernatorial election in Anambra State signifies yet another value Ndigbo have in Mr. President's heart. The way President Jonathan guarded and stand firm to save the people of Anambra State from APC's islamatization and help them escaped being rule by a party composed of mainly Igbo hatters, in this manner, I think Mr. Jonathan deserved recommendation from Ndigbo.
As a form of appreciation, I suggest the Igbo traditional rulers should bestow on President Ebele Jonathan the title of "Nwonzeribe Isenzeriwe one of Igbo kingdom."
President Jonathan has brought massive industrial and infrastructural development in South-East. We are all living witnesses on how Jonathan administration remodeled the Enugu International Airport as promised and since, international flights have began operations in the airport. Kudos to the efforts of Goodluck Ebele.
President Jonathan promised to construct new Stadiums at Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra 29 months ago. Ndigbo, i am happy to report to you that all this stadiums have been constructed and are ready for commissioning. Jonathan's government has build a functional seaport at Onitsha and Oguta and also constructed hydro-power plant at Oji River.
In his commitments to further develop Igbo land, President Jonathan constructed a new dry inland port at Aba which will create more jobs and ease the transportation of heavy goods to prevent over dependence on roads. Jonathan administration also reconstructed Enugu-Onitsha, Owerri-Elele and Enugu-Port Harcourt express-way respectively. A critical bridge on the hump of the federal road linking Abakaliki to Ogoja has also been constructed and ready for commissioning.
On the Second Niger Bridge, Ndigbo must thank God.for bringing Goodluck to power for there will be no President that may give much priority to the Second Niger Bridge than Jonathan. Today, the Second Niger Bridge which is an important economic corridor that is at the heart of a globally recognized emerging industrial hub has been reconstructed and equipped with state of the art facilities, making it among the best bridges in Africa.
Further more, Sam Mbakwe Cargo Airport in Owerri has reached 94% stage of conclusion and the once death trap Aba-Ikot Ekpene highway is now a new wonder, as it has been smoothly remodeled with lightnings and traffic lights to reduce accidents.
Five out of the six refineries promised by President Jonathan in the South East are ready for commissioning while the sixth one located at Akwa is under construction and will soon be ready for commissioning too.
Igbo kwenu!! President has tremendously transformed South-East States to a small Tokyo as electricity is now in abundance, commercial activities are booming and are linked with international investors, courtesy of Enugu International airport.
In view of the structural and human developments Mr. President did in Igbo land, I see no reason why Ndigbo won't support Jonathan's second term ambition. Other regions in Nigeria are envious of the numerous achievements the Ndigbo has attained in just three years of Jonathan administration. Only God can predict the democratic dividends that the people of Igbo land will achieve if Jonathan is giving the mandate to go beyond 2015 because I know it's just the beginning, the end is yet to come.
President Jonathan's administration has now embarked on building rail lines that will cover the whole of South-Eastern States with the view to address transportation challenges facing the region. What a transformation? One can inhale the fragrance of fresh air across all the Igbo States.
On the promises our dear President made to Ndigbo on solutions to end the problems of erosion. I was about assessing the work done in solving erosion, a sound of a heavy truck at the back of my house woke me up from sleep and realized it was just a dream. Shit!!! It's already sun set, time to watch football.
Igbo Kwenu! Igbo Kwenu! Ndigbo Kwezuo nu!!
