282

The Youths Network for Nigeria Union (YNNU) has given former President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan a seven-day ultimatum to obtain the membership card of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at his Otuoke ward.

According to YNNU, registering as a member of the APC was critical to enable the ex-president obtain the party’s Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to contest the 2023 presidential elections on its platform.

The Chairman of group, Mr Ibrahim Saiki, who gave the ultimatum on Wednesday at a rally in Abuja, noted that if the ex-president failed to register and obtain the party’s card at the end of the deadline, the youths would occupy his Abuja office and remain there until he made a decision.

He said: “We have been mandated to, most respectfully, urge former President Goodluck Jonathan to immediately progress to pick a membership form of the APC from his ward in Otuoke, Bayelsa, within seven days after Ramadan.

“If at the end of seven days after Ramadan, Jonathan remains undecided, we shall most respectfully repeat our visit to his office for a second meeting.

“It should be noted that over 20,000 of our more than 500,000-strong members across the nation have expressed the unreserved desire to participate and encamp at Jonathan’s private office.

“We shall remain there for as long as it may take him to decide.”

Saiki added: “We earnestly hope that Jonathan fully understands that our future depends on his decision.

“Therefore, we do not intend to relent in our pursuit of the true desire of Nigerians at this time.”
