Jonathan's endorsement: Rivers group faults Arewa youths
(Nigeria )
The Rivers State Patriotic Youth Assembly, RSYPA, has called on the Arewa Youth
Leaders and Stakeholders to be downright in addressing issues concerning
internal party politics in the country.
President of RSYPA, Mr Joseph Itenyi, who made the call on
Sunday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State in a reaction to a statement by the Arewa
Youths in which the group condemned the collective endorsement of President
Goodluck Jonathan as the sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said:
"I see the position of the Arewa youths as less informed because a
collective decision of a political party to present any candidate as the PDP
has done is as good as an election.
“The Arewa youths will have to be more open minded and
patriotic in the interest of peace in our country."
He noted that “the decisions and internal politics within
the PDP are normal and our concern is for Nigerians to be given the chance to
choose from the candidates presented by the political parties.
"If the PDP decides to present anybody they are
comfortable with, that is an internal issue and solely their business, the same
thing applies to the APC and other political parties. What we expect is that
Nigerians will have the freedom to choose from the candidates, the president
they want in 2015," Itenyi said.
