The Yoruba Youth Council, YYC,
has given various reasons it cannot support President Muhammadu Buhari’s
reielection bid.
They gave the reasons while
distancing from a planned Yoruba Youth rally being organized by a group to
support the reelection of Buhari.
In a communique signed by the
leader of the group, Eric Oluwole and publicity secretary, Lekan Shobowale and
made available to journalists in Akure, Ondo state capital, the YYC denied any
involvement in the solidarity rally for Buhari.
The YYC cited incessant killings
across the country by Fulani herdsmen, hardship, lopsided appointment among
others.
According to YYC, “It has come to
our notice that a group known as Yoruba Progressive People’s Congress, an arm
of a political party (name withheld) led by one Pelumi Amodu is by no means a
representative of Yoruba Youth Council or working for
YYC.
“The group in its own wisdom
endorsed and called for a nationwide rally in the name of Yoruba Youths as an
aftermath of the letter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President
Muhammadu Buhari.
“We at the Yoruba Youth Council
hereby dissociate ourselves from this plan.
“We all know this is not a good
time for such rally with unmitigated attendance of killings, mass destruction
of properties as well as disregard to the principle of federal character
through lopsided federal appointment among other reasons.
“We view this act as only a means
by the organiser to deceive Mr President and scoop monetary gains at the
expense of ever dynamic and resourceful Yoruba Youths.”
