Goodluck Jonathan, former
president on Thursday said he enjoyed more support from the South East than his
region, South South when he was in power.
He made the disclosure in
Onitsha, Anambra State during the grand finale of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, governorship campaign candidate in Anambra, Oseloka Obaze.
Jonathan urged Nigerians to
collectively defend and stand firm for democracy.
The former president applauded
the people of the South East, saying, “I got more support from the South-East
than I got from the South-South where I come from”.
He said, “We must collectively
defend democracy in the country because no matter what you are, until you are
able to elect your leader peacefully, the international community will not take
you as developed society.
“Where elections are manipulated,
there is no election. We use this opportunity to mobilise all Nigerians,
especially the people of the state to stand firm for democracy and to do
everything to protect democracy.”
Recall that the former
President also said Anambra had remained a PDP state since the beginning
of
democracy in 1999 till date.
The former president had also
said 80 per cent of the people were still members of the party.
