A pressure group, the Progressive Yoruba Youth Congress, has revealed what giving support to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, will cost the South West in 2023.

According to the group, it will hinder the return of the presidency to the southern part of Nigeria.

Addressing a press conference in Lagos, the national president of the group, Kola Salawu, urged the South West to reject the PDP and its candidate.

The group said, “South West does not need to go back to oblivion again and we must rise up to protect this ongoing progress and support the one who has brought development to the zone.

“When President Muhammadu Buhari’ s tenure ends in 2023 after he wins the 2109 elections, power will return to the southern part of Nigeria and that is just some four years away.

“We never can tell what will happen then as the highest ranking person in this government from the south is Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. It may just be his turn.

“We urge all sons and daughters of the South West to be politically awake and choose wisely in the forth-coming elections as the decisions we make will determine if the region will continue to enjoy the true benefits of good governance or we go back to the days of total neglect.

“During the last PDP-led Federal Government, the South West was completely neglected. The area with the highest number of intellectual professionals was denied any meaningful position in the top hierarchy of political office holders.

“At some point, there was nobody from the South West occupying any of the top ten positions in the country.

“They pushed for alliances with other political parties across the country to form the new All Progressives Congress (APC).

“They mobilised the South West to vote the new party which ultimately resulted to victory the APC at the polls.

“Politically, the APC has taken care of the interest of the South West tremendously. The Vice President and the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representative is from the South West. There are 68 ongoing road projects in the zone.

“It is obvious to all that there is a huge difference in what the South West got under the previous PDP government and what they are getting now.

“The master stroke was the recognition of June 12 as Democracy Day and the honor given to Chief MKO Abiola, something that even the Olusegun Obasanjo government refused to get done.

“To our amazement, when the PDP were going to have their convention in 2017 to pick their new party executives, the party agreed to zone the party chairmanship position to the South West but alas, that did not happen, the position was given to the South- South.

“After their party presidential primaries where Atiku Abubakar emerged candidate, he picked Mr. Peter Obi from the South East geo-political zone as running mate.

“It was reported in the news media that the PDP has decided to give the position of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) to the South West. This is very laughable.”

Buhari gave SW VP, Afenifere said it is Greek Gift. He honored MKO with GCFR and declared June 12 Democracy Day, Afenifere said it is Greek Gift. He gave GANI GCON, Greek Gift. He transferred FG Assets in Lagos to Lagos State, Greek Gift. He made Yorubas Finance Minister, Works, Housing and Power Minister, Health Minister, Communications Minister, Information Minister, Solid Minerals Minister, FIRS CEO, Chief of Defence Staff etc, GREEK GIFT. He approved $1.4b for construction of Lagos-Ibadan Railway, he is completing, speedily too, Lagos Ibadan Road, Ota Abeokuta, Lagos Abeokuta, Oyo Ogbomoso, Ogbomoso Ilorin roads, construction of Osun and Ekiti State link Roads, Lagos Badagry Expressway, Water Project in Ilesha... Etc. Greek Gift.

Okay, Atiku has promised you SGF to steal all these from the SW, what type of Gift is that one.... LEBANESE GIFT?

Like someone said in another thread and I quote verbatim...

Apart from Yemi Osinbajo who is currently VP, another of our son Raji Fashola is a Super Minister heading three Ministries, Isaac Adewole is Minister of Health, Lai Mohammed is Minister of Information, Isaac Adewole is Minister of State for Niger Dlata, debayo Shittu is Minister of Communications, Kemi Adeosun was Minister of Finance, Kayode Fayemi was Minister of Solid Minerals, and several other Yoruba sons and daughters are in this government. Some of what we have gained in terms of infrastructure are listed below.

1. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is 70% completed by Buhari. A road that PDP could not do for 16 years.

2. Ikorodu - Sagamu road upgrade has started. Another road abandoned by PDP.

3. Sango - Abeokuta road upgrade has started. Another PDP abandoned road.

4. Apapa - Wharf road has started, Dangote has done 95% of the part that he is handling while FG us doing its own part simultaneously. Another PDP abandoned road.

5. Oyo - Ogbomoso expressway construction has started. Another PDP abandoned road.

6. Lagos - Ibadan standard rail line has started. PDP never dreamt of this.

7. Just this last week, Buhari got the FEC to approve money for upgrade of the Lagos - Badagry expressway. A road abandoned by PDP in order to frustrate Lagosians.

These are few things that I can remember now. What else can Yoruba land ask for except you want to ask for his wife Aisha.
