ABUJA – National President, Arewa Youth
Consultative Forum, AYCF, Alhaji Shettima
Yerima yesterday joined the presidential
race, saying enough was enough for the
ruling class in the country.
Yerima who is younger of all the aspirants
of the office in both the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, and opposition All
Progressive Congress, APC, declared his
intention on the platform of Young
Democratic Party, YDP.
His entry has apparently charged up the
Nigerian political firmament, meaning that
should he eventually emerge the candidate
of his party, he shall be squaring up with
President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP
and others in the 2015 elections.
Speaking to Journalists in Abuja after
obtaining his nomination which he said cost
N11m, Yerima said both PDP and APC have
failed the youth and indeed, Nigeria at
large.
He noted that the table of politics the world
over has turned around with younger
persons joining the race.
He also stated that16 years of PDP has
brought nothing but abject poverty to the
people, stressing that President Goodluck
Jonathan has nothing to offer even if he is
given another opportunity.
He said: “The 16 years of PDP has given
Nigerians nothing than abject poverty,
terrorism, lack of development and so on. It
is obvious that even if you give President
Goodluck Jonathan another opportunity, he
will not give anything to Nigerian than total
collapse of the system. Already, the system
has collapsed. I think the way the system is
now, if we continue to rely and keep hoping
on the same two parties, I do not think we
are being fair to ourselves. This why we feel
that this is a revolution.
“As a people, from our experiences and
background, we have a lot to offer this
country. But sometimes, the way the
political actors behave, one begins to think
whether they have an answer to the
Nigerian problem.
“If you look at the government of the day,
you will notice that the man who is in
charge has no control of the government. It
is either he is totally blinded by somebody
or his government has been hijacked.
“Now, if you look at the other side, in a
normal society, all the world, you could see
that those who are yearning for power are
all young, vibrant people. So, I don’t think it
is a good development for us to have over
aged people to continue recycling
themselves.
The presidential aspirant refuted
insinuations that his ambition has the
imprint of PDP against the presidential
ambition of General Mohammdu Buhari
since both of them hail from the same
north west geopolitical zone.
“Mohammdu Buhari is as good as a father
to me. I know him very well and I have
worked closely with him. But the fact of the
matter is that we have come to the point
that whatever you do, people will read
meanings into and to that extent, you
cannot do what you are doing. But however,
I don’t have any relationship with PDP.
“I feel that this party, YDP will strongly assist
me in offering whatever I have to offer to
the country. This party has nothing to do
with PDP or APC. This is a movement of its
own and I think it’s pan Nigerian
movement. The structure is well
established. We need the support of every
Nigerian. Whether I am accused of being
sponsored by the PDP or APC, the fact still
remains that we cannot be deterred or
discouraged on what we want”, he said.
