President Goodluck Jonathan has a new supporter
in former captain of the Super Eagles, Joseph
Yobo.
On Friday, December 19, Yobo led a group known
as PDP Ward 2 Ward Initiative to the Presidential
Villa, Abuja to endorse President Goodluck
Jonathan for a second term in office.
After a closed-door meeting with the president,
Yobo addressed journalists, saying that Jonathan
deserves a second term to continue what he has
started.
Yobo said: “I’m here to endorse His Excellency,
the president of our great nation, Dr Goodluck
Jonathan, for his re-election. He has done so
well. I stand here as a youth to say that he
deserves a second term to push forward the good
work he has started.”
“I do believe in the legacy of the Transformation
Agenda, and that’s why this Ward 2 Ward
Initiative is building on that legacy.
The president
has done so well. The youth now have their own
power, they have their own beliefs and they
should understand that they have their rights in
their own hands. They should follow what Mr
President has started.”
He added: “The youth should come forward and
believe in Mr President. Everybody should come
out to vote for him. It’s your choice, but as an
individual and as a face of the youth, I recognise
what he has done.”
“The future is for the youth. We need to stand up
and look into the future, not just now. If we don’t
settle down and take responsibility as youths and
be able to follow what Mr President has done,
then what does out future hold?”
Yobo, who is the group’s brand ambassador, said
the president had done so well for the youth and
called on them to re-elect him in 2015.
