Yenagoa— Indigenes of the South-South geo-political zone based in the United Kingdom, have called on the President Goodluck Jonathan to shun the antics of the opposition political parties in the country in trying to stop him from declaring his intention to contest the 2015 presidential election.

The group, in a statement by its Chairman, Mr. Igho Derek Emuobome, insisted that the right of President Jonathan to run for second term was constitutional and divine.

The President, they insisted, has divine obligation to Nigerians to declare and run for a second term in office, describing as unrealistic and distorted the opposition political parties’ rating of the President’s performance.
The South-South indigenes, made up of professionals and technocrats, under the aegis of the South-South Peoples Assembly, United Kingdom Chapter, urged Jonathan not to be deterred by the unpatriotic antics of the opposition All Progressive Congress, APC, and remain focused on the transformation programme of his administration.
