Gulak: Any Niger Deltan Against Jonathan’s Second Term Bid’s Not A True Son Of The South-South

Although the 2015 general elections is still two years away, the
Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Dr. Ahmed
Gulak, has launched a passionate appeal to the leaders and people of
the South-South region of the country to givemaximum support to the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Gulak, who was speaking while receiving a delegation of the Niger
Delta Leaders' Assembly in his office, said no indigene of the region
in his right senses would stand against the realisation of the
president's second term ambition.

He said. "Anybody from the South-south and the Niger Delta who is
against Goodluck Jonathan's second term in office is not a true son of
the Niger Delta. Whoever he may be, I believe every son of the Niger
Delta must make every sacrifice for the success of Goodluck Jonathan".

In a veiled reference to the purported no-love lost relationship
between President Jonathan and the Rivers State Governor, Mr. Chibuike
Amaechi, Gulak said it is only people with sinister agenda that would
want to bring down their brother just because the opposition is
cheering themon.

"We have seen very few of them who are hostile, who are recalcitrant,
who are devilish, who are vicious, who want to bring down their
brother because the opposition is clapping for them. The drummers are
inside the bush and we haveseen them dance unclad.

"Those that said Jonathan will not be shall be put to shame. Those
that hate President Jonathan with passion have failed to understand
that God gives power to whosoever He wants; and that He can take away
from whomever He wants and whenever He wants. But this time around God
has given power to President Jonathan and all of us would have to put
our hands on deck to help him," he said.

The presidential aide, who explained that the president was doing his
best to tackle the issue of insecurity in the country, added that the
problem wasa global phenomenon.

In his words, "It is not limited to Nigeria alone but the President is
facing the challenge and we are succeeding".
