Professor Viola Onwuliri, the Minister of State for Education, and Deputy Coordinator, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Campaign in the state, has said President Goodluck Jonathan will win Imo State in the forthcoming polls.

Addressing a group of Imo professionals in Owerri, Imo State capital, Onwuliri said victory for Mr. President in Imo would be monumental.

The minister said: “For the avoidance of doubt, Imo State is and remains a PDP stronghold. Recall that Imo PDP delivered over one million votes to President Jonathan in 2011, and nothing whatsoever has changed since then to suggest that Imo people will vote otherwise.

“Aside reclaiming the government house from the clueless All Progressives Congress, APC, on February 28, Imo PDP shall first and foremost deliver hundred percent votes for President Goodluck Jonathan on February 14 to further prove that Imo remains a PDP stronghold.”

Professor Onwuliri said President Jonathan had fulfilled his electoral promise to Nigerians through his lofty transformation programmes, which Imo State had immensely benefited from.

She also thanked Imo people for their patience in waiting for President Jonathan during the recent President’s campaign, stating that it was a clear indication of the direction their vote would go.
