Kalu welcomes Jonathan to South-East

-

KaluFormer Abia State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, has extended a warm welcome to President Goodluck Jonathan to South-East, as the president flags off his presidential re-election campaign in the zone today in Enugu.

This is coming at a time when the former governor and business mogul expressed optimism that the Peoples Democratic party (PDP) will win next month’s presidential election.
Welcoming Jonathan to South-East, Kalu said the president was coming to a favourable land, where he would get enormous support.
He said: “I am happy to welcome the president to the South-East. I want to assure the president of support from the zone. The South-East voted for the president in 2011. We will do it again.”
Earlier yesterday, Kalu, while visiting former pilitary president, General Ibrahim Babangida in Minna, Niger State, expressed hope that the PDP would win the presidential election.
Kalu said although Jonathan would win, the PDP may not form the majority at the National Assembly.
He expressed worry that the polity was being overheated, urging politicians to calm down.
He also called on candidates to be patient.
The former governor said he was in Minna, as part of his usual tradition of visiting the former military president every January.
His words: “During our meeting, we spoke about issues concerning our party, the PDP, about governance and the progress of the country generally.”
The PDP chieftain said despite several challenges facing the country, it was making progress.
