President Goodluck Jonathan came under severe pressure yesterday at the South-east Peoples Democratic Party’s Unity Rally in Enugu, with many speakers urging him to formally declare his interest to contest for the 2015 Presidential election.

The agitators were led by the South-east PDP governors who in their various speeches at Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, venue of the rally, urged Jonathan to immediately declare his interest to run in 2015. However, the President rebuffed the pressure, saying that he would respond to the request at the appropriate time.

Governors of the PDP in the zone led by Sullivan Chime of Enugu State, Theodore Orji of Abia and Martin Elechi of Ebonyi had announced that the rally was organised “to pass only two requests to Mr. President.”
