Nnewi — Commuters were stranded in Onitsha, Anambra State, yesterday, as commercial vehicle drivers withdrew their buses from the roads to campaign for President Goodluck Jonathan and his vice, Namadi Sambo.

Over 500 commercial buses were withdrawn from the roads for the campaign.

Acting on the platform of South-East, South-South Commercial Drivers Welfare Association, SSCDWA, the drivers said their action was driven by the need for President Jonathan’s administration to continue with its Transformation Agenda.

As early as 8am, members of the association, led by their President General, Chief Nnamdi Okafor, converged on Niger Bridge Head, Onitsha, to receive their counterparts from Delta, Enugu and Ebonyi states.

From there, the drivers took off to Ihiala where they received their members from, Imo, Abia, Cross Rivers, Rivers, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom states.
