The Rally is scheduled to start at 9:00 am, at Ibom Hall Field, IBB

Wilson, a Pastor and former militant said, "It is designed to
massively mobilize Niger Deltans in particular and Nigerians in
general to support the second term bid of President Goodluck Jonathan,
come 2015 Presidential election. Jonathan has done creditably well and
deserves a second term to consolidate the gains of the transformation
programme.
"We as Niger Deltans are very proud of Mr. President because it is the
first time that a Niger Deltan is ruling this country as President and
he is marvelously doing well. The country is experiencing an uncommon
National Transformation for the first time in its entire existence.
"The dividends of the National Transformation programme of Mr.
President are eloquently evident for all to see. Hitherto moribund
sectors such as the Nigerian Railway, Agriculture, Small Scale
Industries, etc are all transformed and made productive by the
Jonathan administration.
"The epileptic power situation that preceded the emergence of
President Jonathan has also been greatly improved upon by His
administration.For the first time in the history of this country,power
has been made to be considerably stable."
According to him, Jonathan has also transformed the electoral system
and has made sure that "the votes of Nigerians now count."
He said, "Jonathan is systematically fighting corruption headlong.
The hitherto witch-hunting of politcal opponents with anti-corruption
agencies has been stopped and instead it is the loopholes and sources
that breed corruption that are drastically being tackled with tact and
experience."
The militants also acknowledged the "eminent achievements of the
Presidential Amnesty Program" under President Jonathan piloted by
Hon.Kingsley Kuku, who has taken the programme to greater heights.
