South West Youth Rejects Endorsement Of Jonathan

The game is not over, until it's over. South West Youth Stakeholders’ Forum has dissociated itself from the purported endorsement of President Goodluck Jonathan by a section of youths in Ondo State.

The youths, who stormed the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Ibadan, in their hundreds, said they were not in support of the meeting convened by Governor Olusegun Mimiko at Adegbemile Hall, Akure, where a section of youths with little representation purportedly diverted a post-confab summit into an “orchestrated endorsement of President Jonathan.

“We will not but extend our sincere disagreement and displeasure with the said post-confab summit chaired by erstwhile respected Professor of Agricultural Economics, Dupe Olatunbosun, who took time to show his dancing skills at the event while being ironically referred to as a youth at age 74, only for him to denigrate the person of General Muhammadu Buhari who is even two years younger than him as being old and not fit for public service,” the youths said.

Addressing newsmen on the topic: “Youths Jointly Say No To Lies of Endorsement,” the leader, Babalola Ayodeji, called on the youths from Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti States “to keep the fire burning as we yearn for the much desired change in the political administration of our country.
