May 11, 2009 (WAU) — James Wani Igga, Southern Sudan Legislative Assembly Speaker and chairperson of the SPLM strategic mobilization campaign at the level of the Government of Southern Sudan, arrived in the capital of Western Bahr El-Ghazal on Monday and addressed supporters at Isaac football stadium.
He assured the SPLM supporters that the party will win the election, gearing the congregation up into clapping their hands and chanting “SPLM Oyee, SPLA Oyee, SPLM Oyee!”
Hon. Wani had held a similar rally in Lakes state last Tuesday in Rumbek Freedom Square before flying to Aweil in Northern Bahr El-Ghazal on Thursday for the same purpose. His tour is part of the launch of the SPLM strategic mobilization campaign for the coming general election in Sudan scheduled for February 2010.
Security was very tight in Wau, particularly at Isaac football stadium. Marketplaces, private institutions and public schools including government institutions were ordered to close down by the state government in order to welcome Hon. Wani to Wau for the first time.
The government of Western Bahr-El-Ghazal state has scheduled for Wani to hold a meeting with state government on Tuesday and state lawmakers too will meet the speaker before his flight to Juba, the capital of the semi-autonomous region of Southern Sudan, said an official.
SPLM, the political embodiment of the military insurgency that waged war against the government of Sudan for over two decades, has had particular strength in the Bahr El-Ghazal region.
