PRESIDENT of Igbo Youth Movement (IYM), an amalgam of 42 associations, Evangelist Elliot Uko, in this interview said the South-East would not support President Goodluck Jonathan's re-election in 2015 unless he fulfils his promises to the zone. Excerpt:
.
The IYM recently carpeted South East governors, saying they have not done the needful, can you explain further?
.
The South East governors forgot that the South-East has been deliberately forgotten by successive federal regimes for more than 40 years.
.
They forgot that what is needed is an aggressive and united development agenda. It is necessary to recreate the Eastern Nigerian Development Commission of the 1950s and 1960s. The region should integrate economically for maximum results.
People just tend to judge his actions too quickly sometimes so i feel we shld try to cut him some slack. GEJ definately knows what he is doing
