okoooo....Delta State Government has asked schools
to close down on Wednesday as President Goodluck Jonathan visits Asaba,
the state capital to campaign for votes.
Management of various schools told
parents and guardians on Tuesday as they picked up their children and
wards that schools would not be holding today (Wednesday) because of the
President’s visit.
The Commissioner for Information, Mr.
Chike Ogeah, confirmed to our correspondent that Wednesday has been
declared a public holiday to enable citizens of the state to welcome
President Jonathan.
The
declaration of the public holiday came as the Goodluck Support Group
said it would shut down the entire state to welcome the Peoples
Democratic Party presidential campaign team to the state.
The Delta State Coordinator of the
group, Mr. Austin Ezeagbo, said at a press briefing in Asaba on Tuesday
that the President has done so well for Nigerians that the least they
could do to show appreciation was to re-elect him.
“Our vision is to return Jonathan to Aso
Rock in 2015. And it’s a job already done. We are doing this because of
the job he has done. Nigeria from independence in 1960 was rated higher
than Japan, Indonesia and Malaysia.
“But successive governments after then ran this country aground.
“Our roads were deathtraps. But he has
transformed that. He has built 12 federal universities, nine in the
North. The man has done well with aviation, and agriculture in Nigeria
today is top class. What else do you want me to say that Jonathan has
not done?
“Let me go beyond that. Obasanjo did two
terms; Shehu Shagari too. Now is Jonathan’s turn. Thereafter the
presidency can now move to other parts of the country.
“What we intend to do is to shut down Delta State tomorrow; not just in Asaba,” Ezeagbo said
