Ahead of the presidential election on February 14, Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, on Sunday, called on the North and the South-South to strengthen their age-long political alliance by voting massively for President Goodluck Jonathan.
Anenih, in a statement that came less than a week after the one in which he assured Nigerians in the Diaspora that the forthcoming polls would strengthen rather than divide the country, urged the North to consider the decades of cooperation given by the people of the South-South to candidates of northern extraction and reciprocate the gesture with a renewed mandate for Jonathan.
