Running into two years that the former President Goodluck Jonathan left office, market women and traders in Ebonyi still displayed his 2015 campaign posters as a show of love for him.
Markets in Ebonyi State, including the over 70-year-old Abakaliki main market were seen with Jonathan's campaign where market women eulogised the former president saying he was a good 'husband' to the nation.
One of the traders, Celestine Chikodiri, who spoke with PUNCH 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.
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.
