Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL
has stated that it would not endorse the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
presidential candidates for the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Peter
Obi.
In a statement signed by the National Leader of BNYL, Princewill Chimezie
Richard, they argued that former Vice President Atiku cannot change the system
of Nigeria.
The group was reacting to the
recent endorsement of Atiku/Obi candidacy by the leadership of the Movement for
the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB,
He reminded the people of the
region of the failed campaign promises since 1999, insisting that the emergence
of former Anambra State Governor as Atiku’s running mate, even as a Vice
President will not stop agitations in the South East and South South.
The group said, “I am not talking
about PDP and APC, but I am talking about Atiku, his true colour will surface
if he wins, Obi is not the kind of person who is bold enough to challenge
Atiku’s policy that might not favour our people, he is there to serve him.
“Moreover, knowing Obi is from
the East, the West and North will apply more voting strength to retain Buhari,
I don’t see Atiku winning”.
The group said the last thing it
will do is to support more years of northern rule.
“If we are truly one Nigeria,
they should have allowed Jonathan finish his tenure, now that there are people
like Donald Duke and others coming out from the East, let the north support
them to win and not our people becoming blind supporters, and followers without
a decision, do they have two heads?” He said
It, however, stated that whether
the Presidency or VP slot is zoned to the East, agitations for breakup will
continue.
