WE MISS GOODLUCK JONATHAN - EBONY TRADERS ADMIT

Almost one and a half years after former
President Goodluck Jonathan left office, his
2015 campaign posters are still displayed in
markets in Ebonyi State, including the over 70-
year-old Abakaliki main market.
Speaking to a Punch correspondent on
Thursday, one of the traders, Celestine
Chikodiri, said the traders resolved to retain
the posters as a show of love for the former
President.
He said, “We like the way Jonathan ruled us;
his government was good, we like the
Jonathan administration more than the
present government and it is why we decided
to leave the posters in the market because
we are missing him.
“If you look around the market, you will not
see campaign posters of any presidential
candidate other than Jonathan’s own.
“The Jonathan administration will not be
easily forgotten; things were moving smoothly,
our businesses were flourishing, civil and
public servants were patronising us,’’ he said.
Chikodiri described Jonathan as a true
democrat for conceding defeat at the
presidential election which he said was
another reason the traders allowed his
campaign posters to still remain in the market
and called on politicians to emulate him.
Another trader in the market, Mrs. Nwode
Angelina, said the current hardship being
experienced in the country had shown that
Jonathan was a good ‘husband’ to the nation.
“Today, everybody has seen that he tried for
the nation and I am not surprised that his
campaign posters are still littering our
market.”
