WE WON’T SUPPORT JONATHAN IN 2015- NORTHERN IGBO LEADERS

In a communiqué issued after its two day meeting in Kaduna, the group the South East Forum (SEF) stated that after it deliberated on the state of the nation as it concerns Ndigbo, they are not in support of such move as Ndigbo will present a presidential candidate for the 2015 general elections.
 The communique which was signed by 17 leaders of the forum including its coordinator in the 19 northern states, Chief Damian Inyama and its Abuja chapter chairman Dr. PM Wilfred Okafor posited that the Igbo race has been subjected to perennial socio-political injustice since independence.
It said: “in the light of the perennial socio-political injustice perpetrated in the Nigeria nation against the Igbo race which she has been deliberately denied by the state of the position of president since independence,” adding that, “this forum strongly insists that it is the turn of Ndigbo to produce a president in 2015 and therefore encourages all lovers of justice and equity support this demand to produce the next president come 2015”.
The communiqué decried the neglect of the Igbo following the loss it suffered in the wake of the political crisis and massacre that followed the 2011 presidential election in the North, arguing that it was wrong for the Igbos who were the majors victim not to have been compensated.
 They also lashed out at southeast governors and traditional rulers who are building support base for President Jonathan’s ‘re-election in 2015.
