Obama Calls for Peaceful, Free and Fair Elections

Several youth groups of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Monday took to the streets in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) on a last minute sensitisation march for Nigerians, especially the youths and women on the need to cast their votes for the candidate of their party, General Muhammadu Buhari.

The spokesman of the youths, Mr. Emmanuel Sawyer, told journalists during the rally which started from the APC national secretariat  in Abuja that his group is out to ensure that Nigerian youths and women come out en-mass and vote the right candidate.

He said all over the world, it is the women, and youths that suffer from bad governance, adding that “if there is problem during elections, it is we that suffer. That is why we are now educating all members of the public. Even the elders, they should ensure that they come out and vote for a better Nigeria.”

He said his group had gone down to the rural areas especially to those people who do not know the party’s logo to teach them how to vote.

“We have also given them the issue of cleaning their fingers after they vote so that they will not touch another party’s logo. And we are also holding a seminar today at the Yar’Adua Centre to tell the world and everybody that they should come out and vote early. We have samples of the voters’ cards to show them how to vote,” he said.

Also speaking, National Coordinator of Buhari/Osinbajo Youths Support and the Proud Talakawa Movement (PTM), Chief Anuchukwu Godwin, said what his group was insisting on was that votes should count.

“We are not a violent people but we are agitating that our votes must count. This time Buhari has won. We are celebrating before the victory, and we will celebrate after the victory,” he said.
