Former Minister wants support for Jonathan in Yobe
Former Minister of
Police Affairs Adamu Waziri has advised the people of Yobe State to
vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the 2011 general elections.
Mr Waziri made the
call in Damaturu on Sunday when he formally declared his intention to
contest the governorship election in the state on the platform of the
People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
Addressing party
supporters in Damaturu, Mr Waziri said that President Jonathan stood
for “peace, growth and prosperity of the country, and Yobe in
particular.”
He described the
campaign by the PDP to snatch Yobe from the ruling All Nigeria Peoples
Party (ANPP) as a “struggle for freedom.”
Mr Waziri urged PDP supporters to close ranks and collectively move
the state forward, adding that “we must support whoever emerges as the
party’s candidate so as to wrest power from the ANPP.”
