ABUJA- AHEAD of the Presidential and general elections slated for March 28 and April 11 respectively, former Federal Commissioner for Information and South South leader, Chief Edwin Clark claimed yesterday that the All Progressives Congress, APC was formed with the sole aim of installing a northerner as the president of the country.

Speaking yesterday when he received the leadership and members of the Yoruba Youth Council, Worldwide at his Asokoro residence, Abuja led by its National President, Comrade Eric Oluwole, Chief Clark who noted that APC would no longer function if its Presidential candidate was removed from the party, said, ” APC was formed to install a northerner as the president of Nigeria. You saw what happened at the Presidential primaries of the APC where Buhari emerged with very wide margin. Without Buhari, there will be no APC. ”

The Ijaw leader who took a swipe at the APC Presidential candidate, said that he was not fit to fight corruption‎ as he has been campaigning all around, said “Nigeria belong to all of us, no tribe has the monopoly of ruling us. Nobody is a second class citizen. We all are first class citizen of this country.”

While commending the youth organization, Clark who noted that it was the first time in the nation’s political history that a large youth organization such as YYC would identify with the government of the day, especially with someone who hails from the minority, said, “Nigerians will only allow a democratically elected President. Buhari in 1983 overthrew a democratically elected President, Alhaji Shehu Shagari because he got the wind that Shagari was going to hand over to a Southern President.

“Buhari lied over his certificate, even the picture on the certificate is older than the certificate. How can a person accused of perjury be talking about corruption.”

Earlier, President of Yoruba Youth Council, YYC, Eric Oluwole who disclosed that they were endorsing President Goodluck Jonathan’s re- election bid and prepared to work for his victory, said the council was fully committed to the return of Jonathan to Aso rock come May 29, adding, “The YYC‎ has endorsed Jonathan to return as President. We want continuity. We will not allow a 72 year old man to determine our lives for us.

“There is no alternative among other contestants that is as genuine as Jonathan. His achievement in yoruba land is tremendous. Everyone can see d good work of Jonathan.
“The achievements of President Jonathan in Yoruba land has far out-shown that of any government in Nigeria since 1999 no matter the commitments of certain quarters to demystify these giant strides.”

The group continued, “Our visit here today is to acquaint you of our decision to declare full support for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan and to mobilize all the Yoruba Youth throughout Nigeria, whose views and convictions go a long way in re- moulding public opinions.

Through thorough deliberations we resolved on the dire need to return President Goodluck Jonathan as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, because looking objectively as it is today, there are no alternative in all the contending Political parties that are as genuine and focused as President Goodluck Jonathan.
He may not be an example of perfection but he represents today the most available and well positioned messenger in protecting our long won democracy and all round economic advancement that Nigeria anticipate.

“The Achievements of President Goodluck Jonathan in Yoruba land has far out- shown that of any government in Nigeria since 1999 no matter the commitments of certain quarters to demystify these giant strides.

Looking at developments in Yorubaland alone aside enormous achievements all over the country. Lagos- Ibadan expressway which had always been a reason for complains in ages, now witnessing monumental reconstruction and expansion.
Benin-Ore-Shagamu expressway had never ‘witnessed this type of reconstruction since 1999. Apapa – Oshodi Expressway now has good Testimonies, Akure- llesha road in Ondo state, everyone can see the goodworks going on there.

In the power sector, we have seen the construction of new Power plants, viz-a-viz Omotosho and Olorunshogo phase 11, which are part of the 6 new generating Companies constructed by this administration, whatever is remaining with power is to perfect the transmission and distribution logistics with new private companies and there will no longer be power outages.

“The Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) Worldwide specially shows unreserved appreciation to the President Goodluck Jonathan for the ingenious approach to fighting unemployment which is NOT exclusive to Nigeria but world over.

With the advancement of Technologies that make large corporations to no longer need large army of workers. President Goodluck Jonathan had bravely encouraged our youth through creative industries, he approved a special support scheme for the creative industry and directed Nex-Im Bank to provide backing for the Industry.

“Many creative industries have benefitted from this initiative. The Jonathan Administration, through the Project Advancing Creativity and Technology (PACT) in Nollywood, has provided a N3 billion grant programme for Nollywood. In 2013, the fund supported capacity building and Illm production in the industry.

About 120,000 youth already employed so far in the SURE-P Program, about 4,000 Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS). Over 2,300 winners from SURE~P, these are all benefits to the Youth.
Mr President has proven himself beyond doubts as a good and sincere leader, in one of the meetings we had sometimes ago with our Afenifere leaders \ as YYC principal body in Yoruba land, the contents of the resolutions of the National Confab were discussed to details and we were able to see much clearly that as soon as we start implementing these resolutions, especially as we commence the second term dispensation of President Goodluck Jonathan, by Gods grace.

All the major challenges that confront this country will become history. We refer to Unemployment, Industrialization, power outages, more condusive environment for businesses to thrive, etc. We want to appreciate
“Mr President specially for the Egbin power plant that was inagaurated by him in Lagos at Ikorodu recently. Nothing less than over 8 millions of Yoruba youths will cast their votes for President Goodluck Jonathan.”

why do we always make this kind of sentimental statement that can cause war? why elder state man like edwin cannot stop being tribal? this exactly was the cause of 1967 civil war. keep misleading people to war!
or do you think you can win election using this tactics? the whole of south east and south-south are they up to south west and north?

Is reality an ethnic sentiments? Have the Northerns ruled nearly 40 years? They taken almost if not all the oil wells to themselves, is Buhari the most qualified in APC camp? Yes or No. Remember their slogan `Born to rule`
Hey, use ur head oo it more than a fight on newspaper and ones Nigerians can see that is more reason i support the national dialogue which they (North) refused to because they are the real beneficiary of this scam called one Nigeria. Support Mr. president and the report of the national conference for a real and practical Nigeria. The president has promise to implement the report and we cannot go back. It is about issue and not politics again. #VOTEnotHATE
My brother no offence, I don't knw wic part of Africa ur r.
Nigeria ,nigeria as been ruled for abt 53yrs nw
The north have rule for 27yrs and d south have rule fr over 25yrs.
If u wan to consider it on a relegious line the christian leadership as bin fr abt 30yrs and d muslim leadership fr 23yrs.
And since 1999 till date, the south/christian have ruled for abt 15yrs now while the north/muslim for 2yrs.
So I still don't understand this ''born to rule'' thing.

Even if all Jonathan will accomplish in his second term is the implementation of the result of the National Conference, that will be more than enough. We will be ready to move forward and become a great nation. Then where the president is from wouldn't matter anymore. God bless Nigeria.

If you have a sincere heart and you are aware of the politics in APC from inception, did you think Rochas would have won the ticket...
Before they did any primary, the party had clearly stated that the Presidential Ticket will be zoned to the MUSLIM NORTH...
Rochas being a typical igbo man, took the governorship ticket of his state gave his brother inlaw to hold it for him. Trying to deceive other igbos to support APC they now gave him a presidential ticket, knowing very well that he will lose the primary and go back to pick up the governorship ticket from his brother inlaw.
This is what happened exactly, Rochas lost the primary as planned, went back to his state and told his brother inlaw to step down for him, now he is going to be governor of his state.

I really think a lot of people shouting Sai buhari might be very naive. The reason i say that is because most of them were probably very young or not born during the years of mis rule by the northern oligachy after obasanjo handed over in 1979. See, southern nigerians became 2nd class citizens. To visit eg nigerian port authority office ie npa, you had to be able to speak hausa before you could near the building how much more to enter it! When you eventually do, you will see malams not better than your mai guard at home praying on mats in the lobby. This same malams will collect contracts worth millions and the sell to ordinary people less 10%. Cant you people remember those days when you had a good result from the university and for you to get a civil service job you had to change your name to either a muslim or hausa name? Meanwhile one young Northerner will manage to graduate with a pass and get instant employment as head of department in same ministry? Or the quota system in education that exist till date where my son scored 161 in common entrance examination of which he choose kings colledge but was refused admission becouse of his state of origin but rather a student from nothern states that scored 2,3,4,5 were rather admitted and when i complained was told that its just quota system and if not for it, people such as sultan lamido wount have had the opportunity of attending KC! The VP Actually told me that. Nigerians forget so soon. Cant people remember the brutality and lawlessness of the hausa lead regimes starting from buharis time till obasanjo too over in 1999. where you will have a quarel with Northerner and next thing he calls his army brother to deal with you?See, one good thing obasanjo did was to make power libral by diluting both the army, civil service etc with both northerners and people from the south. This has to continue for the next few years before it goes back to the north so the mentality of born to rule by some people ends.To those saying this election is not about buharis religion or that he comes from the core north, i laugh. The muslims in the south are very different from those in the North. Any southerner who has lived there will tell you same. Southern muslims are looked at as infidels. My wife a yoruba did her first year of secondary school in one of the federal schools in the north and had to be removed from there by her father after a riot by the muslim school mates over a trival issue of the food they wanted to break their fast with. The muslim students went to town to mobilize almajeries to come kill all of them! The southerners had to be evacuated with the aid of the army. My youruba friend in you Uk also told me how his brother had to end his nysc in the north because after the failed contest of buhari against obasanjo, southerners were being attacked and so he and he fellow coppers got into a bus to get out of the state but unfortunately the got stopped at a checkpoint mounted by almajeris and were told to get down and recite the quran. As they couldnt they had their throats slit. He was the last one to get out of the bus to be killed of which he came out running. They chased him slashing his back until he was saved by nigerian army officers driving past. He had just relocated his brother to the uk and actually called him over to come show me the scars on this back.It is evident that people have a bias towards SAI buhari which is normal but please think well because muslim fundamentalist are all the same world wide. Your neighbour who you feel is your best friend when the wahala starts will be the one holding the knife to your neck shouting al akbar!

APC is gonna die once the election is over...mark my words..I'm more interested in 2019 election. It's obvious a northerner won't be APC's presidential flag bearer and when that happens, watch how all this northerners will move out of APC en masse and join whatever party that has a northerner as their presidential flag bearer..That's when you people's eye will open..But anyway, I don't give a damn and lest I forget, No vacancy in Aso Rock...GEJ_Till 2019 cool
