Yobo Endorses Jonathan For Second Term, Says President Has Done So Well

Former captain of Nigeria's national football team, the Super Eagles,
Joseph Yobo, has drummed up support for President Goodluck Jonathan's
re-election in 2015.

Speaking when he led a group known as PDP Ward 2 Ward Initiative to
the Presidential Villa, Abuja to endorse the President for a second
term in office on Friday, Yobo said Mr. Jonathan deserved to be
re-elected to allow him continue the 'good work he has started'.

Emerging from a closed-door meeting with the President, the
ex-Fenerbache of Turkey defence strongman told State House
correspondents that: "I'm here to endorse His Excellency, the
president of our great nation, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, for his
re-election. He has done so well. I stand here as a youth to say that
he deserves a second term to push forward the good work he has
started.

"I do believe in the legacy of the Transformation Agenda, and that's
why this Ward 2 Ward Initiative is building on that legacy. The
president has done so well. The youth now have their own power, they
have their own beliefs and they should understand that they have their
rights in their own hands. They should follow what Mr President has
started".

He continued: "The youth should come forward and believe in Mr
President. Everybody should come out to vote for him. It's your
choice, but as an individual and as a face of the youth, I recognise
what he has done.

"The future is for the youth. We need to stand up and look into the
future, not just now. If we don't settle down and take responsibility
as youths and be able to follow what Mr President has done, then what
does out future hold?"

Yobo, who is the group's brand ambassador, said President Jonathan had
done so well for the youth and called on them to re-elect him in 2015.

It was learnt that while at the presidential villa, the ex-Eagles
captain presented the 'winning strategy' to the president.
