PHOTOS: Asagba of Asaba, who is music star Lynxxx’s uncle, endorses President Jonathan

The Asagba of Asaba, Delta State, Prof. Chike Edozien, on Friday re-affirmed his endorsement for the candidacy of President Goodluck Jonathan for a second term. The monarch gave the endorsement at his palace in Asaba when President Jonathan paid him a courtesy visit. Edozien said that the endorsement was not only for the president to continue with his good works but to enable him to implement the recommendations of the just concluded National Conference to move the country forward.

“We are particularly delighted that you had the courage to set up the National Conference to look into the problems that were setting this country backwards. We are convinced that if the recommendations of the conference are implemented they will place Nigeria in its proper place. We are giving you our full support to complete your work. We do so, not only because of the giant strides that you have made in transforming the economy, defence and education, but we believe that you are in the best position to implement the resolutions of the National Conference,’’ he said.

The 1961 Professor of Medicine said that on March 28, his stool “will mobilise its children and people to support you not only by words but by deed to make sure that you return to Aso Rock’’. According to the Asagba, the traditional institution in his district had earlier taken a resolution to back the president. “We affirm that support to return you on May 29 as the President of Nigeria. It is our hope that in the next four years, some of the issues in our minds will be fully accomplished,’’ he added.
