Ijaw Youth Council To Buhari
Kess Ewubare, 3 days ago
General
Muhammadu Buhari has been accused by the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) of not
conceding defeat in the three previous elections which he lost.
The
group has now demanded an unreserved apology from president-elect for not
acknowledging that he was defeated in those previous elections.
According
to The Trent, the group also alleged there was a gang up from the Northern and
South Western part if the country to seize power in a bid to get access to the
crude oil wealth from the Niger Delta region.
It
said: “We note with sadness the deliberate efforts by the core North and a
section of the South-west to frustrate the administration of President Goodluck
Jonathan and force him out of power though false media propaganda and
insurgency in the North, with connivance with some foreign countries who
displayed desperate scheming by the core North and South-western part of the
country to take back power is to enable them have access to the oil resource of
the Niger-Delta.”
Adding
that: “The outcome of the presidential election has further polarised the
Nigerian state into regional and ethnic lines, hence there is nothing to
celebrate in the victory. Recommendations of the National Conference should be
implemented by the incoming government to deepen our federal system of
government where the federating units would develop at their own pace.”
Udengs
Eradiri , the IYC President said the IYC group was satisfied with the
stewardship of President Goodluck Jonathan, adding the they would give
President Jonathan a rousing welcome when he is done from office.
