The World Igbo Congress (WIC) has joined the growing list of groups that has endorsed President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid in 2015. Rising from its 20th annual convention in Houston, Texas, United States, WIC under the leadership of Engr. Joe Eto, endorsed the President for a second term, given what it described as Jonathan’s several accomplishments in the South-East, particularly road projects since he came to power. Some of the road projects, according to the group are the Owerri-Onitsha Road, Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Enugu-Port Harcourt Road, Nguju- Edda-Nporo-Ohafia Road, The Obiziora-Iziagu Road, Enugu- Abakaliki Road, Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene Road, the Ore-Benin Road, and others, among other feats in other sectors. “Congress is impressed by the superfluous rendition of the accomplishments of Dr. Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan despite opposition-induced challenges,” a communiqué at the end of the conference read. Those who relished Jonathan’s accomplishments at the four-day convention were Nze Elvis Agukwe, National Coordinator of South-East amalgamation for Jonathan/Sambo 2015 and his USA counterpart, Dr. Acho Orabuchi, USA Coordinator of South-East Amalgamation for Jonathan/ Sambo 2015. They said Ndigbo will be better served with Jonathan as the president of Nigeria, as he has demonstrated fairness and equity in his appointments and policies. “Detractors of the President have used every means possible to stifle his transformation agenda and create chaos in the country. It is therefore patriotic to endorse the President at this time when it matters. It is important for our people at home to know where our sentiments lie. We are with Jonathan,” they said. Speaking at the conference, President Jonathan enunciated his accomplishment while extolling the virtues of the Igbo and their contributions to Nigeria’s socio- economic and political developments, as well as their rich history of accomplishments.
