Yenagoa—Ahead of the February 14 presidential election, the youth leader of Bayelsa State chapter of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Donald Daunemigha, has called on Nigerians to return Goodluck Jonathan as President to consolidate on his transformation agenda for the country.

He urged youths of northern extraction not to cast their votes based on ethnic and religious sentiments but on performance, citing President Jonathan’s establishment of 125 Almajiri model schools in 27 states of the federation as a laudable achievement.

Daunemigha in an interview with Vanguard in Yenagoa, reiterated the President’s support for the youths and his resolve to actualise the 30 per cent affirmative action of youths involvement in politics and decision making in the country.

He said: “We now have more youths aspiring to hold elective offices. This is made possible by the current administration’s determination to include youth in governance, hence there is need for us to support his re-election bid.”
