No fewer than 2000 youths under the auspices of the Imo Grassroots for Goodluck Jonathan Organisation (IGGO) yesterday took to the streets of Owerri burning brooms and All Progressives Congress (APC) flags in the state.
They also burnt the party’s membership cards and symbols in front of the Government House Owerri, declaring it dead in the state.
The youths moved from Egbu Road through Wetheral Road, chanting songs.
The national coordinator of IGGO, Otuibe Samuel said the rally was part of the sensitization initiative in support of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid. According to him, President Jonathan had done a lot for Imo State and the South East in general especially in the areas of education, youth empowerment, agriculture and infrastructure.
Samuel lamented that most of the projects done by the Federal Government in all the tertiary institutions in the state were being laid claim to by the APC-led government in the state. Responding, the state Deputy Chairman of the PDP, General Sunday Chikwe (rtd) commended the youths for embarking on peaceful rally in support of President Jonathan and the PDP.

we dont need to burn PDP structures in the north because we have our fathers, brothers contesting under PDP, moreover PDP is a northern formed party but GEJ cannot win 2015 election because we (north & west) the majority are with APC for presidency but we vote individuals for other post. IF YOU LIKE BURN OKOROCHA HIMSELF, he is your son.
ReplyDeleteYou better begin to write your will because we (north & west) will vote for GEJ. Majority are with PDP. If you like you can go on exile until 2019.
DeleteGod will bless your family, kudos
DeleteZebu cattle
DeleteYou are confusing yourselves, majority of north I know are PDP and GEJ will surely win again. Please don't kill people or destroy properties if he is wins again.
DeleteAll of you are doomed. This man (Goodluck) doesnt have anythiñg good for Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteCorrect! You can say dat again
DeleteIgnorant and childish society. What do you expect.
ReplyDeleteJonathan must come back we alredy vote him
ReplyDeleteIs not has if you know better, Jonathan must come back on what basic? Just to come-back and put us through the misery we have being going through for 6years. If anybody let them burn the whole state, one thing is for sure, on the day of election they can only cast one vote as individual end of the stories. Then we shall know who is the next president come feb, not by hoodlums paid by a party to cause trouble on the street.
DeleteJonathan must come back we alredy vote him
ReplyDeleteAnd if this happened to PDP in the North, all the idiots who normally comment here will weigh in with how this is not democracy. Your clear ethnic and religious biases are easy to see through. PS - before you start calling me 'ewu awusa' and 'Boko Haram', I am Ibo.
ReplyDeleteYh Gej is going to win for inside his bedroom cos na patience will vote for him
ReplyDeletemr man,who is the north.are u ok.which north.dia is no north better wake up.I live in d north even though am frm d south.dia is nothin like north.if dia was north buhari shld have depended on d north tk win na.
ReplyDeleteMy take on this flag burning be it any party's, is uncivilized and portends very bad politicking and any party that sits and watch it's supporters doing that is not worth being voted for.
ReplyDeleteIDIOT! Na the PARTY whose members dey kill people after lossing na im VOTING FOR? EWU MMEEEE!
DeleteAny Nigerian that votes PDP again is senseless and has decided to live his few years in life in misery. Nigerians should stop being sentimental and start being reasonable.
ReplyDeleteRidiculosly ridiculous
ReplyDeleteIn your own mind voting GMD, an old man who was unable to turn the fortunes of this country while he's young and with enough energy is right. Do you ever wonder people are retired from active service after a certain age? It's just because the law of diminishing returns has set in. Imagine george bush senior or jimmy carter declaring for American presidency. That will be the most stupid thing to do. If buhari @72 have not groomed someone who can lead Nigeria well then he's even worse than GEJ
