South-East dwellers describe their massive support for Jonathan as "laying their eggs in one Basket"

L-R: President Goodluck Jonathan; PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Muazu and Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, at the Peoples Democratic Party South-East rally in Enugu... on Friday.

President Goodluck Jonathan has vowed that the Peoples Democratic Party will capture the entire South-East region in the 2015 governorship election.

The President, who spoke at the Unity Rally organised to reconcile aggrieved party members in the zone on Friday, said come what may, the PDP would capture Imo State in 2015 and complete the circle in the South-East.

 The President spoke shortly after some of the security personnel drafted to  provide security at the venue of the rally in Enugu on Friday exchanged blows.

The exchange of blows, which involved members of the Nigeria Police and officials of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, was as a result of complaints of alleged harassment of policemen drafted to the rally venue by the members of the civil defence corps.
