In my several years of political journalism in Nigeria, I had seen only other two occasions that commanded the type of crowd that amassed here in Enugu to welcome President Jonathan last Friday. Those were during the papal Mass of Pope John Paul II at Onitsha in 1982; the other was when the Ikemba returned from the pilgrimage from Cote d’Ivoire, the same year. We are not talking about the crowd inside the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium but rather of the heavy crowds that amassed within a one-kilometre radius of the stadium. It was an unprecedented political statement by the South East.
