Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, a group, Diaspora Council of Nigerian Youths, DCNY, based in United States of America, has described the President Muhammedu Buhari-led administration in eight years as a “monumental failure,” urging Nigerians to reject any presidential candidate supporting continuity of the incumbent President and his All Progressives Congress, APC.

President of the council, Comrade Yinka Gbadebo, and General Secretary, Dr. Bashir Dasuki, stated this in a statement released on Thursday, at the end of an emergency meeting, held at the Waldorf Astoria, Chigaco, Illinois, USA, and made available to newsmen.

“We are emboldened by President Buhari’s monumental failure to say that the people of Nigeria should reject him, those who believe in continuity of failure and his All Progressives Congress, APC, and look for a Nigerian who calls it black when it is black and white when it is white,” the council stated.

“The council notes with sadness that all promises made by President Buhari in 2015 had been mere campaign rhetoric. Nigeria has never been this divided, insecure, and economically backward.

“Under President Buhari’s watch, Nigeria became the poverty capital of the world and a robust hub for terrorists. In fact, every facet of the Nigerian polity have witnessed a drastic downward spiral since he took power.

“Quite interesting that the political predators are out again to hoodwink Nigerians with fake promises. No one should be deceived by these failed politicians struggling just for political and economic domination of the people again.

“It is quite annoying that despite the obvious poverty and insecurity the APC have thrown Nigerians into, many of the shameless aspirants continue to preach continuity of hunger, poverty, insecurity and corruption. Nigerians can’t afford to have their likes running affairs of nation beyond the terminal May 29, 2023 their tenure expires.

“As delegates of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, prepares for its Presidential primaries, it is important to state that Nigerians in the Diaspora are watching keenly if the party is up for redemption and rescue of the nation from it’s tottering state.”

“The council noted that Nigeria was never bad under the PDP, “as a matter of fact, the last PDP administration made giant strides in revamping the economy to a point where Nigeria was one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Unfortunately, the progress made during that period have been totally eroded by the maladministration of the APC goons.

“Consequently, the Diaspora Council of Nigerian Youths hereby to call on delegates in the people’s democratic party to save the nation from another experimental calamity in 2023 by electing Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike as the Presidential flag bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party.

“Anything short of Wike’s candidacy will finally relegate the PDP and earn the party final rejection by the electorate.

“We urge the delegates and the general populace of Nigeria to look beyond the politics of deceit and give Wike the mandate to replicate what he has done in Rivers on a nationwide scale.

“As Diaspora Nigerians, we have resolved to mobilize Diaspora support for him and ensure he connects physically with Nigerians abroad for greater partnership especially in areas of technical human resource repatriation, massive Diaspora remittances and investment once voted as the President.”
