In our closed door meeting, we decided to support Omoyele Sowore who we believe is a symbol of the Nigerian youths that definitely will wipe away the tiers of poverty and under-delelopment from our eyes."We have been suffering from abject poverty for the past years; and we are sure that the Economical, educational and stomach infrastructural suitaton in the country will be a thing of the past when Sowore assumes office President in 2019 . Therefore; we decree that for Nigerian youths to prove that we are not lazy, is to vote out President Buhari come 2019 through our permanent voter cards and to protect our voters against election devourers".The ex warlords also said its members would meet with traditional rulers of various kingdoms as well as top leaders of Niger Delta to create awareness on the need to support the presidential aspiration of Sowore and to ensure that all Ijaws vote emmass for him in the 2019 general election."And with this important meeting, Mr. Omoyele Sowore will have a sense of belonging to meet with those who have his project of victory at heart no matter the storm", the group concluded in the communique.PoliticsNewsAddThis:Original Author:SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKDisable advertisements:
