Some youths under the aegis of Northern
Youth Forum on Saturday donated N2
million to President Goodluck Jonathan to
purchase his presidential nomination form.


The Coordinator of the forum, Engr Bello
Bichi, announced the donation at a rally in
support of President Jonathan in Kano.


He said the decision to donate the money
was borne out of the forum’s resolve to
support the re-election bid of the president
under the platform of the PDP in 2015.


‘’We decided to support Mr President with
this token amount to enable him purchase
the nomination form for the presidency.


‘’The youths in the north believe that
President Jonathan has the country and
youth at heart in view of his commitment
toward transforming the country,’’ he said.


Bichi reaffirmed the commitment of youths
in the north to support President
Jonathan’s ambition for the second term.


He called on the president not to relent in
his effort toward ensuring peace, unity
and development in the country.
In his remarks, the Minister of Education,
Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, charged youths
in the country to avoid acts capable of
causing chaos during the forthcoming
general election in the country.


‘’Gone are the days when we should take
up dangerous weapons during the
election.


‘’As youths, you are expected to conduct
your affairs peacefully, especially during
election in order to ensure peace in our
state and the country.


‘’We have a herculean task ahead of us, so
you have to come out en masse and vote
so as to ensure the success of the party at
all levels in 2015,’’ he said.


He commended the youths for the gesture
and assured them that the federal
Government would continue to come up
with programmes aimed at improving their
socio-economic status.


‘’The president had wanted to come and
grace this occasion personally if not for
some pressing national matters,’’ he said.


Also in his remarks, the Minister of Youth
Development, Mr Boni Haruna, said the
donation was a clear indication that
Northern youths were in support of
President Jonathan’s bid to re-contest the
presidency in 2015.
NAN reports that the occasion was
attended by prominent personalities
including Minister of Foreign Affairs, Alhaji
Aminu Wali and the Special Adviser to the
President on Political Affairs, Prof Rufa’i
Alkali, among others.
