Elections 2019: Group says APC needs another 4 years to prove itself

- Youth Employment Initiative urged Nigerians to vote APC candidates in the forthcoming elections

- The group said the APC needs another four years to prove itself, adding that the PDP had disappointed Nigerians for 16 years

- The convener of UYEI, Francis Onokpasa, added that the Buhari-led administration deserves a second term in office

Youth Employment Initiative (UYEI) has urged Nigerians to vote massively for candidates of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), saying that the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) disappointed Nigerians for 16 years.

According to Vanguard, the convener of the group, Francis Onokpasa, said the APC needs another four years to prove itself.

He said: “The Buhari administration deserves a second term in office to consolidate on the gains made so far in retrieving Nigeria from the sordid mess of the PDP years.”

The group urged Deltans to “liberate themselves from further PDP bondage by voting in Chief Great Ogboru as governor.”

Chief Great Ogboru is the APC governorship candidate for Delta state.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Ogboru urged Deltans to hold him accountable if he fails to deliver as governor.

He made the pledge on Wednesday, February 6, during the APC campaign rally at Ndokwa east and Ndokwa west local council areas of the state, Guardian reports.

He commended the Ndokwa people for being firm to his aspirations over the years, saying: “The time has come for Ndokwa nation to enjoy the dividends of democracy, where development will be spread to all the nooks and crannies of the state.

"We have so many graduates in the state, but no job opportunities.”

He lamented that the situation has perpetually affected the youths, promising that with the new Delta, all that would stop once he assumes office as governor.
