With the recent postponement of the general elections till March 28, Nigerians in Malaysia have endorsed the ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan and also warned politicians against rigging which they say might lead to the breakdown of law and order in the country.

In a statement, by one of the the conveners of the meeting held in Mutiara Komplex Kuala Lumpur, Comrade Biafra Diboh, who doubles as President Ohaneze Ndigbo, Malaysia, the group noted that Nigerians of all walks living in the country has indicated interest to support President Goodluck in his re-election bid.

He affirmed that the transformation agenda of the President had made tremendous impact on lives of Nigerians just as and the rule of law has come to stay with Jonathan respecting the views of Nigerians from all ethnic groups.

According to Diboh: “However, we will like to warn all politicians against rigging because we know some have not won any election in the past and are likely not to win a ward without rigging. This might lead to the breakdown of law and order in the country, if unchecked.

For the interest of everyone we hope that all politicians abide by the rules and avoid any form of rigging the votes. The whole world will be watching and whatever the politicians do will help or mar the elections.

Supporting the endorsement, the President of Igbo Youth Movement Malaysia, Chief Chinedu Onyia said “Our utmost support goes to President Jonathan who has made the lives of Nigerians better. Seeing is believing. We have seen what the president is doing and we will always be part of his transformation agenda
