The monarch of Epie Kingdom in Bayelsa State, King Malla Sasime, has praised the National Executive Council of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term.
The monarch, in a statement at the weekend, described Epie as “President Jonathan’s second home”.
He said he was happy with the transformational strides of the President, saying that “it makes a lot of sense to recognise that fact”.
“Let’s face it: Will it be too much to ask that Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, a minority, be given another four years?
“Are we saying that what was good for the Southwest and other geo-political zones is not good for the minorities?
“We are proud of Goodluck Jonathan not just because he is from a minority but equally because he has performed well given the circumstances of his tenure”.
