TAN to mobilize 3m man march for Jonathan in 

Anambra

By Vincent Ujumadu
Awka- THE Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, TAN, has said that it is mobilizing about three million eligible voters in Anambra State for a rally aimed at promoting President Goodluck Jonathan’s 2015 second term bid.

The proposed rally would be a follow -up to the South East zonal rally of TAN held in Awka a fortnight ago.

Coordinator of the three million man rally, Chief Uzor Okafor, who is the Surveyor General of Namibia, said at a sensitization programme organized by TAN for voters in Anambra Central senatorial zone that the reason behind the effort to return President Jonathan in next year’s election is to ensure continuity.

Though no date has been chosen for the proposed rally, Okafor said that various committees that would help to make it a huge success were already being put in place.

According to him, the good thing is that most voters in the state have vowed to return Jonathan for a second time by ensuring that he garners more votes in the state than he did during the 2011 presidential election.

He said: “The Jonathan presidency has brought so much development in Nigeria and there is therefore the need for Nigerians to give him another mandate to continue his good works. Since he mounted the saddle, there is no part of the country that has not felt the positive impact of the government.

“Most Nigerians can also testify that the present administration has improved the economy of the country, improved the nation’s road and railway networks, improved agricultural production and developed infrastructure in education and other sectors as had never been done in the past.

“The president has also exhibited maturity in handling the affairs of the country and remaining focused even when distractions came, which puts him ahead of other people nursing presidential ambition.”

He observed that though the President was yet to declare his intention to contest in 2015, TAN believes that in the interest of equity, justice and strict adherence to the rule of law, he has the constitutional right to vie for a second term in office and expressed optimism that Nigerians would massively vote for him.

In his address, the TAN coordinator in Anambra Central senatorial zone, Mr. Michael Joe Onwudinjo said that the group was encouraged by the large number of eligible voters registering to become members of TAN, adding that more people were eager to join the train.

Onwudinjo said that despite the large number of people coming to register in various wards and local government areas, the sensitization programme would continue until the election is held.
