Igbo Coalition Threatens To Dump Jonathan Over Poor Infrastructure In S/East

Christopher Isiguzo in Enugu

After a thorough review of the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan from 2010 till date, a coalition of South-East groups on Wednesday threatened to withhold their support for him, accusing him of taking Ndigbo for granted.

Rising from a closed door meeting in Enugu where they reviewed the political situation in the country as it affects the South-East and the 2015 elections, the groups said they were yet to see genuine reasons why the zone should support President Jonathan for another term in office.

Those present at the meeting included representatives of the Igbo Leaders Council, Umuada Ala Igbo, Igbo Women Assembly, Igbo Students' Association, Igbo Youth Movement, South-East Self Determination Coalition and Eastern Christian Council.

They rhetorically asked those clamouring for Jonathan's re-election to explain why railway, which is one of the President's major achievement, was yet to work in the South-East.
