PRESS STATEMENT, DELIVERED BY HON. YUSUF MUSA ARDO, NATIONAL COORDINATOR GRASSROOT MOBILIZERS FOR BUHARI (GMB) AND 58 OTHERS PRESIDENT BUHARI SUPPORTS GROUP, ON 3RD DECEMBER, 2018.

Protocol,

I am delighted to stand here today on behalf of my colleagues, Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari (GMB) is a political pressure group that was registered in 2015 with the relevant government agency, with National, Zonal, States, Local Government Areas, Wards and Polling Units leadership with over 5 million registered members across Nigeria that mobilized Nigerians, especially the Youth, Rural dwellers, Transport Workers, Tricycle operators, Okada operators, Markets Men and Women groups, Ethnic and Religious Associations, Traditional and Title Holders, Local Musicians through organization of Town Hall meetings, community by community to sensitize people at the grassroots for the actualization of General Muhammadu Buhari’s, Presidential aspiration in 2015.

We toured the country and campaigned for the emergence of the current APC led Federal government. This Forum coordinated all support groups for APC and championed Grassroots Mobilizations of Nigerians.

Sequel to the foregoing, we are sad, that the government we put in place has failed and continues to fail our people; we cannot continue to reinforce failures.

How can we have a Federal Cabinet without even one single youth? A government that does not take the youths into account is a dying government; the future belongs to us the young people.

Today, our country is faced with legions of challenges, our economy that was the fastest-growing in Africa has gone comatose under the present government that has shown unprepared and completely clueless.

In the area of security challenges which the APC led Government leveraged on in 2015 to take over power, despite its claims of a technical defeat, Nigerians are attacked and killed by unknown gunmen daily, while kidnapping is now on the rise, farmlands are being destroyed and abandoned across the country.

Most worrisome is the fact that our country is now more divided and acrimonious than ever before, with the unity of the country being threatened due to nepotism and religious bigotry.

Unemployment has risen to an alarming level, instead of creating three million jobs per year as promised during 2015 campaigns; millions of jobs are being lost quarterly, with many companies folding up.

Today we are pleased to inform the whole world that in our plan to officially renounce our membership of GMB and APC, few weeks ago we were harassed, intimidated and reported to the Inspector General of Police by some Unscrupulous element in the confused APC, today as I speak to you now, we have directed our legal team to file a suite in the federal High court on our fundamental human rights.

We acknowledge His Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar GCON, have been part of Nigeria’s leadership dialogue and struggle for long, you have worked with great men of ideas and substance who have led this country since inception and have the rare benefit of knowing how Nigeria functioned and know the best options before us and the hard choices we have to make to “get Nigeria work again.”

We believe Nigeria under Atiku, our economy will be revived and returned to the part of progress that it was before we had the misfortune of having these clueless people in power. We strongly believe that Atiku will ensure diversification of the economy through Agriculture, adequate supply of power, massive industrialization, thereby creating employment for our teaming youths.

With Atiku as President come 2019, Nigerians can be assured of a government that will be responsible to our needs, as Nigerians are guaranteed a Federal Government that will relates with all, not on the basis of ethnicity, religious, political affiliations, or percentage of votes but on “Equity as citizens of One Nation, One People and One Destiny.”

Our justice system will be such that Judges will not be molested and the common people of this country should see our courts as truly their last hope, while our security system should make all Nigerians feel safe living in their own country, as the fight against corruption will not be selective but total.

Gentlemen of the press, we have come today having consulted widely with our constituents, across Nigeria to support Atiku Abubakar’s aspirations come 2019 and to formerly renounce our membership of Grassroots Mobilizers for Buhari (GMB) and APC, to be henceforth addressed as Grassroots Mobilizers for Atiku and Obi PDP in this press conference.

Gentlemen of the press, youths have suffered marginalization and deliberate impoverishment and there is nowhere to run to to receive succor until now that God has opened our eyes to see Atiku clearly as one of us that is ready to wipe away fears and tears of this generation and the generation yet unborn.

Our predicaments and future of the youths in Nigeria is highly threatened that is why we have resolved one Hundred percent (100%) to support His Excellency Atiku Abubakar GCON, come 2019 for our large interest in this country.

We need Atiku’s helping hands to liberate our people from the present situation we have sadly found ourselves.

Once more let me congratulate, our emancipator, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, GCON, our President in – Waiting come 2019 as Nigerians have decided.

Let’s Get Nigeria Working Again!!!

Thank you and God bless.

Signed: ____________

HON. YUSUF MUSA ARDO

When people are mainly after your pockets, things like this is expected, any individual that has the interest of the country at heart will know Atiku is just about the power. PMB too have not been doing well though, my stand remains on a sincere military guys that will just clear off these thieves and let operate on a regional govetment. Democrazy is not working for us as a country.

thunder scatter Buhari Insha'Allah amin

Thunder scatter aisha masha Allah amin

Yet Buhari wins

Sai Atiku.
Everyone seems to see that the future belongs to Atiku.

I just pray he will accommodate the LGBT community in his administration.
Once he can do that, he will be Nigeria's best ever President.

thegrinch:
You are obviously a goat... Let me guess, you're just 17 yrs old and somebody dash you free data abi?

Person wey neva see war before, na him fight dey shack pass. I wish you were 17 in 1984 when Buhari was first president, or when Abacha terrorized the nation... If you experienced any of this first hand, you will not come here and be spewing rubbish.

Oh and by the way, before you yield to that temptation to hit the "Reply" button, scan and post your birth certificate here first.

chinedumoooo:
I know and convince that atiku will throw money around but he is unpatriotic unlike president Muhammad buhari who Slash his salary in order to be prudent ,acccountable and promise kepth.
He donates some presidential flight to the air Force for effective and adequate battle against boko haram and other criminals.

Bar1941:



Your father and your entire generations are RATS, NA thunder go strike you, any day you dare coat me again on this platform, na that day you go payn

VULCAN:


Where do you want to see the sincere military officers?

But tbh, Democracy has failed us

thegrinch:
See another goat here... Brainwashed illiterate.

Do you know that Buhari can afford to not collect Salary throughout his tenure?
Do you know that Governors have a 200 Milion naira security vote.. money they can and DO SPEND without recourse to anyone?
Do you know that the President's Monthly security vote is way higher than N200Million (Nobody actually knows how much it is) and he doesnt report how it is spent to anybody?
Do you know that the Feeding of the Present is more than N1Billion per year

Summary: Atiku, Obasanjo, Your Holy god: Buhari, Saraki, etc all of them are thieves and lack integrity, so don't come here and be spewing rubbish.

My Own is this: Of all these thieves, Only Thief Buhari and Thief Atiku have the political base to win the Presidency, so we are faced with the choice of choosing the lesser evil. Buhari has proven that he can steal and will frustrate the common man while he's at it.... Atiku on the other hand is not promising hat he wont steal, but he says he will try harder than Buhari to make the common man have a chance at life.

That seems like a better option to me.


Before you enter Part 2 of your madness to reply me, go and verify the facts I just stated, and be sure they are false, or else, Thunder will fire you, your Phone and Keypad if you type rubbish.
I can't abuse you because two individuals can't be mad at a spot one must be clear in all ramification to lead the second.since you prove to misquote me without good fact and reason I will dress you the way you should comprehend by itemizing my points.
1) it is only courageous individual who has integrity like buhari can Slash his salary despite what people may say unlike saraki,atiku etc
2)you had what senator shehu sani said about upper chamber salary and allowance including constituency allowance but have nothing to show for that jumbo pay.
3) security vote is not the issue because no government will kick against it unless the people protest against it because if you eventually become one of them you like to benefit like others.
4) its better to teach you how to fish than giving you fish often.when the going get tough the tougher get going.
Use your tongue to count your teeth.

thegrinch:
bastard boy without a father. I told you to post your birth certifcate before replying me. foolish 15 year old boy asking for Military take over.... Your family will be the first casualty of stray bullet when they execute their coup. Idiot.

I Like this summary of your foolishness

Bar1941:


Iyalaya e ma sofo ni for quoting me, sòpono la pa e, oloriburuku.

Because of the rice and beans the smelling politicians are giving you, you wanna die over their issue, you and your generation will be victims of their fetish rituals. Fool

thegrinch:
Iwo omo ale jati jati yi... Sho mo age mi ni?

Because I have more to lose if I continue to drag with you... My kids will cringe at the thought of some god forsaken bastard, Omo ti o niran like you, Spewing thrash at their dad....

I won't send you home to ask your mum why she bleeped around so much that she doesn't know who your father is.... So, I'll just conclude in as civil a manner as I can with a mistake child as yourself.

So, You started by stating that our democracy wasn't working (which is true), and you want the Military to wipe away all these civilian thieves, and take over government.

I sensed you were just a child with access to free data, and I told you That: That is the worst thing that can happen to us as a nation, I knew you were too young to know the damage the military caused when they Overthrew the democracy we had then, and feasted hardship on the nation. (At least every 4 or 8 years, we can vote out a non-performing president, with the military, you dare not even complain... ask Dele Giwa)

And I simply requested that before you come here to throw a tantrum of a reply that you should post your birth certificate as evidence that you're older than 17, but instead you want to turn this to a cursing contest.

I WILL NOT REPLY TO ANYTHING YOU POST AFTER THIS...

BUT IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR PARENTS TO CRY OVER YOU... To ba fe ki iya e s'ofo Omo. Dont dare to reply me.

Be a good boy and run home now.
