2019: Arewa Youths Drums Support for Fayose
By Alex Uangbaoje, Kaduna
Arewa Youth Group on Thursday declared their support for the presidential bid of Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose.
The group led by Alhaji Musa Gombe said they are backing Governor Fayose’s presidential aspiration because he is the best Nigeria need at this point in time.
“Fayose doggedness, transparency and vision has earned him the support of the northern Youth group.” He said.
Speaking with newsmen at the Nigeria Union of Journalists, (NUJ) Kaduna State Secretariat, Gombe said his members of his group all over the North has decided to support Fayose because of what he represent.
“We have followed his track records carefully and based on our modest assessment of this gentle man we have to conclude that Fayose is the only person now that has the qualities to take Nigeria out of the wood.
“He is highly principled, focused and committed to true federalism and most importantly youth and women friendly.
“I have not met him before and he is not our sponsor, we decided to support him because we are impressed with his antecedents.
“It is not about where you came from, President Buhari is from the North and I am from the North but that is not the issue, it is about survival of Nigeria as a country. Fayose has the zeal, and the mind to lead this country.
“Look at what is happening in the Buhari regime, the youth have been grossly short changed, in this regime, we have ministers that are over 80 years, the implication of this is that the youths has no future in this country, our group is saying no to this and we see only Ayo Fayose fighting for the youth,” He added.
According to him, Fayose has every right to contest the presidency because he is a Nigerian, adding that the days of tyranny is gone.
“We are not in Military regime people reserve the right to say their minds. The reason some people in government hate Fayose is because he tells them the truth. We are asking him to contest the presidency not governor of Gombe state. So people should understand our point.” He said.
