Ekwueme reveals how Jonathan disappointed Igbos.

– Chief Alex Ekwueme, a former vice president and top member of the PDP, does not seem happy with former President Goodluck Jonathan – He speakd=s about Jonathan’s days in office, what the former president told him and how he failed Igbo people Former vice president and founding member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alex Ekwueme, has revealed his disappointment in former President Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan, heavily supported by the south-east zone, was defeated by Muhammadu Buhari during the 2015 governorship election.
But Ekwueme said despite the massive support from the Igbo people and which Jonathan attested to, he never helped to fix challenges in the zone.
In an interview reported by Vanguard, Ekwueme said: “As I said in an interview in the past, Jonathan didn’t treat us very well for the support he got in 2011; which he confessed to me himself was more than what he got from his people in the south-south“He gave an example, that the people who were running against him tried to get a running mate from the south-east, but none of them succeeded in getting a running mate from the southeast to run against him; but even in his own south-south, Oyegun was a running mate to somebody; and when the election was over the Youth Corps members who were brutalised in Bauchi were people from the southeast, not people from the south-south. He told me this himself. “So, he had every reason to be fair-minded and equitable in his distribution of resources.“But we could not go from Enugu to Onitsha on a federal road, you couldn’t go from Enugu to Port-Harcourt on a federal road, we couldn’t go from Aba to Okigwe on a federal road; you couldn’t go from Owerri on the federal road. None of the federal roads in the south-east was motorable.”
