Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Tony Anenih has appealed to the north to support President Goodluck Jonathan\u2019s re-election bid in 2015.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the weekend in\u00a0 Benin at the party’south-south zone “unity rally”, Anenih said the zone had supported and formed successful political alliances with the North in the past, stressing that the current situation calls for reciprocity and cooperation.<\/p>\n

Addressing a huge crowd of PDP leaders and faithful\u00a0 the main bowl of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, he declared, \u201cWe have reasons to be proud of the contribution of the South-south to Nigeria\u2019s development.\u201cThe zone has over the years, made sacrifices, including supreme sacrifices, not only to keep this country together but also towards its economic development.<\/p>\n

“The South-south has, in the past, played a unifying role among the various regions of the country. Our sons and daughters, such as Chief Tony Enahoro, Chief Okotie-Eboh, Mr. Isaac Boro, General David Ejoor, Chief Denis Osadebe, Chief Jereton Mariere, etc., have served this country with great distinction\u201d, reminded the party leader.<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cIn the political history of Nigeria, the South-south has also been a close ally of the North. We have fought political battles together, contested elections on the same political platforms and formed alliances.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given support to the North when it mattered most. The current situation, therefore, calls for reciprocity and co-operation. Nonetheless, in appealing to the conscience of Nigerians in the prevailing uncommon circumstance, we would claim our right, with dignity and determination, in the interest of our dear country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anenih said that the unity of the South-south was important for peace and progress, stressing that \u201cit is the basis on which other regions will take us seriously.\u201d<\/p>\n
