2015: Ndigbo must support Jonathan –Uwazuruike The leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, has urged Ndigbo to support the second term ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan, saying it is the best option for now. The MASSOB leader, stated this yesterday in Owerri, the Imo State capital, when the National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Maxi Okwu paid him a courtesy call. He said it would be in the interest of Ndigbo to support President Jonathan’s re-election in 2015. His words: “I want to advise Ndigbo to continue to support the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan because he is our brother and has also shown that he loves Ndigbo especially the respect he accorded our late leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu by giving him a state burial and he has equally done a lot of other things for Ndigbo which I will not want to say now. But for the time being, Ndigbo must continue to support him.” The MASSOB leader, who thanked the new national chairman of APGA for visiting him, said he had always wondered how the ‘former leadership’ allegedly destroyed the party by making it look like a private property. He urged his guest not to turn the party into his private venture. Uwazuruike also charged the leadership of the party to mobilize its members in support of President Jonathan’s re-election, saying they must not go back on that pact made between the president and the late leader of Ndigbo, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu. Speaking earlier, Chief Maxi Okwu, said they were in Owerri to brief the MASSOB leader, who is also the moral leader of Ndigbo, on the latest development in the party and to seek his advice on the way forward. Okwu said the mission of the new leadership of the party was to restore the vision of the founding fathers of the party by reaching out to all those who were forced out of the party by the former leadership .
