2019: Fayose is our choice, we want competence, says Northern Youths

Youths from the 19 Northern states under the aegis of Northern Youth Group (NYG), Thursday in Kaduna throw their weight behind Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose as their prepared presidential candidate in 2019.

Addressing newsmen at the secretariat of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Kaduna State council,  Co-chairman of the group, Musa Tukur Gombe,  said Fayose has what it takes to lead the country to the promised land.

According to him,  the youths are not interested in what zone or region produce the president of Nigeria but belief in project Nigeria as seen in Fayose.

His words, “our mission here this morning is simple. We have come to declare our support for Chief Ayodele Fayose as our presidential candidate come 2019.

“We know that the incumbent President is from the North but that should not stop any other Nigerian who has the love of the country at heart not to make his ambition known and seek support from his fellow countrymen.

“In Fayose, we see the vision, Focus and principles that can help this country a great deal. So, we really need to do more to help Fayose project what is embedded in him come 2019.

“Though we have not met with him before, we have heard him talk, criticising this government base on issues and not personality or propaganda. That is why it is difficult for anyone to accuse him. He has the right to pour his mind in any burning national issues from his own perspective with facts and figures.

“Like I said earlier, we need to talk about Nigeria and not the region we are coming from. President Muhammadu Buhari is today our president and not the president of Katsina or north or Fulani and that is the same eye with which we look at Fayose.”

Gombe said, “Now if we put all these and what the Governor has done together, it is clear, the man Fayose know what he’s doing and he should be supported to help us wake up from dreamland to actualizing his vision of emancipating the people live.
