“After a critical assessment of the President Buhari’s administration and its impact on the good people of North Central Nigeria, we have resolved that Buhari should seek re-election in 2019. The entire north central youths are ready and willing to support him in that regard.”

“And while fighting corruption, Mr President should have it in mind that, there were some patriotic Nigerians who were fighting corruption during the previous administrations but corruption ganged up and they were framed to be corrupt.

“Such people should be immediately cleared and made to join the anti corruption crusade,” the statement read.
