Yenagoa—Monarchs of E/A Oil Fields in Ekeremor Local Government Area of Bayelsa State have turned prayer warriors for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.

The traditional rulers, under the aegis of Traditional Rulers Prayer Warriors, in Yenagoa, said they will not rest until President Jonathan emerges victorious in the March 28 presidential election.

Chairman of E/A Oil Field Traditional Rulers, Decca Keredei, who disclosed this, said they had also endorsed President Jonathan and his vice president, Namadi Sambo, for a second term in office.

He said one of the reasons for endorsing the duo for re-election was to further strengthen the peace and unity of the country.

The royal father noted that despite the security challenges bedeviling the country, the Jonathan administration had performed creditably in the areas of road construction and rehabilitation, rail transportation, aviation and agriculture, among others.

Calling on Nigerians to shun violence and politics of bitterness, he condemned the recent attacks on the convoy of President Jonathan in some parts of the North.
