EMANCIPATION seeking Ogoni ethnic nationality of Rivers State has declared not to support a second term bid for President Goodluck Jonathan unless the Presidency put a stop to the blackmail of the state’s leadership under Governor Rotimi Amaechi and that of Ogoniland as embodied in Senator Magnus Abe.
Making the declaration under the umbrella of Ogoni Generation Next Project, OGNP, the Ogoni also counted completion of its deplorable axis of the East-West Road as well as the 11 years lingering Bodo-Bonny road as preconditions for supporting the President’s second tenure aspiration.
Facilitator of the group, involving professionals in diverse business fields and political officeholders, Khadilo Kabari, while taking the media on a tour of federal roads in Ogoniland, said: “Enough of the blackmail of Amaechi and his leadership as anti-President Jonathan and the Niger Delta.
“The leadership of Amaechi, including Senator Abe as an Ogoni political leader has accorded undivided support thus far for the Jonathan Presidency from the very beginning.
“It is on record as perhaps the most supportive among states. It is, therefore, a campaign of calumny taken too far for jobbers to now smear a leadership that has been so supportive against the President.
“For the Ogonis, the least the Presidency could do is to implement the UNEP report to the letter in alleviating the suffering of people who have given so much but rewarded with spite and killing of its prominent leaders. Beyond the UNEP report, it is also imperative that Federal Government reverses its indifference to completion of the Bodo-Bonny Road and the East West Road, particularly Ogoni axis.”
