Akwa Ibom News Online Commentary

Nigerians in the Diaspora, under the auspices of Goodluck-Namadi Global Group 2011 USA (GNGG-2011 USA) and the Ohakim 2011 Consolidation Mandated Group in the Diaspora (OCMG-2011), beseeched Nigerians of all walks of life, of all political persuasions, to massively vote for Goodluck Jonathan for president; and Imo State indigenes, regardless of party affiliation, to vote to re-elect our transformational governor, Gov. Ikedi Ohakim at the April polls. Both President Jonathan and Gov. Ohakim represent a new generation of leadership—our generation. Their re-election will mark the beginning of passing of the baton from one generation to another. We thank the past generation for all they could do. Now, it is our time and our moment to transform Nigeria under the new crop of leadership—Goodluck Jonathan as the President of Nigeria and Ikedi Ohakim as the Governor of Imo State.

President Goodluck Jonathan needs a governor like Ikedi Ohakim to work with him to ensure that the dividends of Nigeria ’s democracy reach all nooks and crannies of Nigeria . While President Jonathan believes strongly in the federal character principles, Gov. Ohakim, a detribalized and energetic leader, believes in national unity and has successfully plugged Imo State to the national socio-political grid. Any attempt to unplug Imo State from the national political grid will spell doom for the State. Therefore, we strongly ask all Nigerians of all ethnic, religious, and party affiliations to vote massively for Goodluck Jonathan for president of Nigeria and Gov. Ikedi Ohakim for Imo State governor.

Both President Jonathan and Gov. Ohakim are committed to the following: a safe and flourishing Nigeria, a thriving economy, a solid educational system that will adequately educate Nigerians, serving the needs and aspirations of Nigerian citizens anywhere and everywhere, a solid system that will sustain Nigeria and proudly utilize resources in ways that allow Nigerians to meet their current needs while ensuring that future generations also taken care of, etc.

The GNGG Global believes that President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration will create a lasting imprint on the image of Nigerians as culturally rich, ethnically diverse and progressive village moving steadily in the right direction.

The OCMG-2011 strongly believes that Governor Ikedi Ohakim will work to support the administration of President Jonathan while ensuring that godfatherism is stamped out completely in Imo State as all resources for Imo State are used for the indigenes thereby making Nigeria’s heartland a model State in the Nation. There’s no alternative to Ohakim!

Consequently, it is our onus to humbly and respectfully ask the Nigerian electorate, particularly Imo State voters to re-elect their sons to office so that they could continue to implement human-oriented programs that would alleviate poverty, improve education and health of Imo State in particular and Nigeria in general.
