MEMBER representing Ethiope East and Ughelli North Local Government Areas on the board of Delta State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, DESOPADEC, Chief Ominimini Obiuwevbi, has described the 2015 race for the Presidency as the collective aspiration of the people of the South-South, noting that President Goodluck Jonathan was just the symbol.
.
Obiuwevbi, shortly after a meeting with various groups and leaders from the council, said that “any attempt to say that Jonathan should not contest the presidency will show that our democracy was under threat.”
.
He advised Northerners to give their total support to the president to enable him secure a second tenure, adding “they should reciprocate the gesture we have given to them in the past that helped former President Shehu Shagari and others to get a second tenure.”
