The Forum of Presidents of Youth Organizations in the Middle-Belt region has thrown its weight behind the Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, Governor Samuel Ortom, and Edwin Clark for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi.
In a statement signed by the President, Forum of Middle Belt Youth presidents, Terrence Kuanum, said Obi is the right option as president in the 2023 election to recover Nigeria.
The statement reads:
The Forum of Presidents of Youth Organizations in the Middle Belt region align their voices with those of elder statesmen and patriotic Nigerians who have endorsed Peter Obi of the Labour Party as the right man for the country’s presidency.
The Forum’s position is in consonance with the stand of former president Olusegun Obasanjo, PANDEF leader, Edwin Clark, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state and many other Nigerians who are upbeat that Mr. Obi is more positioned to clean the mess that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC have turned Nigeria into.
Recalled that the Forum of Presidents of Youths Organisations in the Middle-Belt was among the first groups to come out openly last year to stress the call for a Southern presidency for equity, justice and fairness.
We have all along known that Mr. Obi is the best option for Nigeria, if the wounded nation must be on the way to economic, political and social recovery after being battered by the APC.
The Forum therefore wants all other leaders and groups in the Middle- Belt to emulate those forthright and responsible Nigerians by throwing their weight behind Mr. Obi to enable him get the mandate of the people and change the sad story of Nigeria.
The group reminds Nigerians from all walks of life, different social backgrounds, religious affiliations, political leanings and ethnic roots to reflect on what they are going through today and avoid the mistakes that took them here.
We commend Governor Samuel Ortom for always standing tall whenever the issue of justice, fairness and equity for the growth and progress of Nigeria are at the front-burner.
It reiterated the need for the Benue people, especially those in the north-east senatorial district to reward Governor Ortom with the senatorial seat to enable him to continue to serve them effectively.
