The South-South Peoples Assembly (SSPA) yesterday told Kano
State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso to stop insulting President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The assembly, in a communiqué after an
expanded National Working Committee Meeting in Abuja called on Jonathan
to contest in the 2015 presidential elections in consonance with section
131 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
While responding to
an allegation by Kwankwaso that the timetable released by the
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2014 elections
is part of the plan by the Presidency to manipulate the 2015 election,
the SSPA said the comment was part of the insults the President has been
receiving since he assumed office.
Led by Ijaw leader and former
information minister, Chief Edwin Clark, the assembly appealed to
Nigerians to, in the spirit of national unity and solidarity, give their
support to Jonathan.
The group also commended some members of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the National
Assembly,for
participating in the screening of service chiefs and consideration of
the 2014 Appropriation Bill.
Appealing to Nigerians to always
imbibe the virtues of peace and love, the group stressed that this is
the only way to strengthen the ties of national unity.
