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...

AtikuObi we know

.

The bigger Nigerian tribes are very stupid and arrogant, their mentality are shallow they seem not to think about development but just pure dominance, I guess I know their problem, they are afraid of competition, that they would be left far behind when the smaller tribes with innovative thinking and smart ideas start to put their head to work. Until Nigeria start striping Abuja of polical power and make regional politics more attractive we will remain like this for a verrrrrry long time. It's 2018, sane society are politically empowering competition to get the best out their society, I am not surprised we keep producing and recycling Lifeless, loudmouthed and empty headed politicians and administrators.

One man one vote..

What nigerians will gain from Atiku is more important

South west got a President from the PDP for crying out loud. What else do you really want?

So because SW wants a shot at the president in 2023 200 million Nigerians must continue to suffer for another 4 year's under the lunacy of Buhari ...impossible !!!! We will not waste our collective destiny because of of Tinubus ambitions

when did being a deputy governor or vice president means automatic replacement of the your principal? so, because osibanjo is the VP, he will now replace Buhari? funny. seeing the cable and the way they cage osibanjo, they will look for someone who will protect their interest and that could be from any region. they will even prefer someone from SS. besides, this issue of power returning to the south is not a written agreement. that was agreement by PDP as a party to carry everyone along. when did APC adopt PDP's idea?

So what will the rest of us gain by supporting buhari?

I forgot. The rest of us in the south will not support buhari because we have nothing to gain.

It would be very funny if after all their scheming, the east gets the presidency in 2023 on the apc ticket.

I go laugh tire.

To Yoruba..

Is not about Nigeria..
Is what Yoruba man get from Niger Delta oil that matters..not how developed we are as a country.
Or how the other tribes in the country are doing..

To them...it must start and end in Yoruba ..

Hope all other tribes and ethnicities in this country are seeing and observing how this people reason.. especially when the support their own..

A vote for a Yoruba president is a vote for tribal Nigeria..and minorities will be overide with easy ..as igbo and hausafulani may be able to counter ginger.. but minorities which come together is majorities will never ever have a say in the country..

They will even make Yoruba the official language in the country and if you don't speak they won't attend to you in public offices and government places.

With this altitude of yorubas and 2019 election..so far..

Nigerians should be really worried about a Yoruba presidency..either now or in the future..

Dem no dey tell man.
