The
youth wing of the National Coalition for Jonathan/Sambo Presidency,
NACOJP, have given President Goodluck Jonathan 45 days to declare his
intentions to run in the 2015 Presidential elections or millions of
youths will storm Abuja and Nigeria will become ungovernable.
Speaking
at a ceremony in Abuja, NACOJP’s President, Comrade Godspower Denema,
stated that Jonathan must contest in 2015 otherwise they will resort to
drastic actions that might threaten the existence of the country.
“On
behalf of the entire youths of Nigeria, I want to sincerely warn that
if Mr. President refuses to contest the 2015 presidential election, the
youths of Nigeria from the six geopolitical zones of the country will be
forced to take some drastic actions,” he said.
“Some
of the action may include but not limited to the shutdown of the entire
country. More than 40 million Nigerian youths will storm Abuja in early
February. We shall conscript Mr. President. We shall make sure that no
Jonathan, no election in 2015 and most Nigerian youths shall change
their national tags.”
He said that Jonathan deserved re-election in view of his “sterling performance” in his first term.
“Those
fanning the embers of disunity and beating the drums of war should not
flee the country when trouble starts. They should not attempt to ferry
their own children out of the country when the trouble they are trying
to promote starts.
“In
fact, they should be advised to bring their own children who they are
keeping abroad to come home to fight. Nigeria at centenary is at a
cross-road. The pendulum of activity is oscillating between peace and
impending war. President Jonathan represents peace and his detractors,
who are crisis promoting agents, represent war. So the choice is now
left for Nigerians. I am very convinced that they will make the right
choice, which is the path of peace,” he said.
The
NACOJP ceremony also celebrated the launch of a pamphlet titled ‘100
Reasons Why Nigerian Youths Should Support President Jonathan.’
