The Epie Kingdom in Bayelsa State has
come out to express satisfaction with the endorsement of President Goodluck
Jonathan as the Peoples Democratic Party candidate for the 2015
presidential election.
This was after the president was after the PDP, NEC, BoT, governors and others took a
bold, politically sensible and socio-economically prudent decision to
endorse President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term in office.
The mood of the kingdom and that of the entire Ijaw people was conveyed by its paramount ruler, King Malla Sasime in a statement on Monday the 22nd Sept that allowing someone from a minority ethnic group to rule again is a sign that Nigerian politics is developing.
The monarch said the actions of the
National Executive Council of the PDP; the party’s governors’ forum and
members of its Board of Trustees should be commended for such a ‘giant
step’.
The monarch said, “The Epie Kingdom,
which is President Jonathan’s second home is happy with the
transformational strides of the President. It makes a lot of sense to
recognise that fact, celebrate, rejoice and congratulate him for
emerging as the PDP candidate for the 2015 election.
“PDP .”
While asking Jonathan not to relent in
his mission to transform Nigeria, the king appealed to Nigerians to irrespective of political party to support the Jonathan led administration in fully transforming Nigeria.
