THE Yoruba Youth Council (YYC) has attacked the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, over his call on the South West States to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 elections to guarantee a return of power to the region in 2023.
The YYC which is the umbrella body of the Yoruba Youths, described the call for the incumbent President by Fashola as absurd saying President Buhari has not done well to warrant another shot at the presidency.
The group who stated this in a statement signed by its National President, Eric Oluwole, said President Buhari had no solution to any of the problems confronting Nigeria as a nation.
Teniola said: “Our attention has been drawn to a vague promise by a former Governor of Lagos State and current Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola during the special town hall meeting organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture and the National Orientation Agency recently, advising Yorubas especially the youths to vote for the incumbent president Mr Muhammad Buhari in the 2019 election so as to enable power shift to the south west in 2023.
“We observe with consternation that Mr Fashola, who is a beneficiary of the social economic crisis which the ruling elite has plunged the Nigerian youths could start serving as an adviser at this critical period if our nation’s existence.

“Having been a beneficiary of Democratic rule since 1999, we will not forget the level of corruption perpetrated by the Minister when he was Governor of Lagos State as leaked by his predecessor, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on assumption to office.”
The statement read further: “Yoruba youths also remember with consternation, the statements credited to Mr Fashola that Nigeria’s power problems could be fixed in six months, three years of his reign has the minister in charge of power has not solved our perennial power problems.
“We want him and his likes who are feeding Nigerians with propaganda from the seat of power to know that the youths have learnt from history and will strive hard not to repeat the mistakes of the past in our resolve to revamp the economy of Nigeria.
“The same presidency Mr Fashola is promising Yoruba youth in 2023 is what the current Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige promised the South Easterners. Another attempt to perpetrate the ethnic division of the country?
“We want to say expressly that nothing can stop our collective resolve to ensure the restructuring of Nigeria in order to find solutions to myriads of problems facing our country.
The Yoruba youth noted that the forthcoming general election would go a long way to determine the continued existence of Nigeria saying restructuring remains the only way out of the nation’s myraid of problems.
“We again call on Presidential candidates who are committed to the restructuring agenda to show commitment by signing an agreement document to ensure restructuring of Nigeria within six months of their assumption to office.
“Time has come to protect our future and the youths shall do all we can to decide the fate of the 2019 election without leaving a stone,” the statement said.
Fashola on Thursday during a town hall meeting in Ibadan, Oyo state capital urged the people of the SouthWest to vote for Buhari in 2019 to return power to the zone in 2023.
Fake news
Who are the youth. No name has been make mentioned. Awon werey omo.
Yes oooo, l was beginning to wonder if there’s no educated men and women in Yoruba race. but now am very happy that yorubas still have vibrant and educated youths.
Shameless SANs, now Senior Advocates of ‘Non-Certificated’ Bubari!
Any Yoruba youth that attacked fashola does not have sense at all.
Where were you when your yeye obasanjo endorsed atiku /obi.
You did not attack your baba that left Yoruba behind.
You are attacking someone who told you the truth.
Eric Oluwole is their national president that made the comment on behalf of the youths. so go back and read the post again.
ur own better u most wish to continue
Who are the so called Yoruba youths that attached Fasola? Fake news. Ignore it.
Shorunmu Salimon
Truth, you say? Or someone fighting for his pocket! The most worst administration in the history of Nigeria.
Kudos to Yorubas. The Era of deception and propaganda is over
FAKE YORUBA YOUTH
Nobody will ignore it bks, it’s not fake. if read the post very carefully, we hear a name like Eric Oluwole who happens to be the National chairman of the youths. so, he made the comment on behalf of the youths.
Your credential is not with the military. We have it here already. This is your credential:
Buhari is dangerously incompetent and a woeful failure! No wonder he has no waec certificate.
Buhari, Nigerians are very angry with you….
No more 2nd chance for Buhari with his corrupt APC!

@ greenman you for go ASO ROCK oooo to pursue Buhari. But Buhari Osinbajo till 2023.
No way to vote for unprepared president, come 2019 youth must be ready to vote out this government of hardship.
Nobody attack fashola we said they all playing politics
I believe that our problems are coming to an end if our youths will come out and reject this greedy politicians because they are dividing this country into ethnic and religious line.
Adeshina Friday Adenrelu nnamdi kanu is not after ur election,all we need is our biafra and we are close to it,watch out
Attacking Fashola means we don’t like the truth. Commonsense demand that Buhari second term will do us the Yoruba nation good. Where were they when the Adebanjo’s and the Afenifere endorse Atiku, common sense is not common. Atiku promised us GSF, while we have Vice president.
Which one do we want 2nd position or GSF??? Common sense should prevail here……
Shorunmu Salimon yes I concur
Yes Fashola said rubbish Atiku/Obi we (i my family, friends, hausa, igbo, yoruba) are voting come 2019 by God grace… 2023 belong to God.
Do u have sense? How many pple u can cater for their need?
If you hate fashola, go and hug transformer
Every body as right to his or her own opinions, those that says yoruba youths to me that be a group and in the name of the group, they have right to talk, if you want talk form your own group and say what ever that pleases you, but i choose to follow that part of the great and United youth’s of this great Nigeria, ATIKU we stand for
A San advocating for an illiterate to rule him Yoruba brothers only go to school but they don’t have brain
Nice one Sir.
The few Yoruba PDP are responsible for the attacked not responsible Yorubas
Which of the Yoruba youth? Fasola is speaking the mind and thought of every reasonable Yoruba mind, for that I give him gbosa
But who are the lazy Yoruba youths. Those lazy youth do not represent me. I guess they are acting on their pay master instructions the dollar spender.
Attached Fashila on what ? Is it Fashola that voted PDP ‘s 16yrs ruling with out tangible / accountabilities for such long years of looting ? I as a Yoruba man can not believe in that statement. We are more enlightening! More exposed ! More accommodating! We are not Bigot /Tribal ! Like any other parts in the country.
Fake news ,who are the senseless youth that ready to surrender VP for Sgf ?
Tooshort Adegbayi, sorry oooo l did not ask your buhari to fail oooo. but let me advice you, just get Atikulated and your life will be better. haaaaaaaaaaa.
Electing Buhari will give Presidency to the Igbo in 2023 – Chris Ngige
Electing Buhari will return power to the Southwest in 2023 – Babatunde Fashola
‘I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody’-PMB
Me; who is fooling who? Bunch of confused people.
It’s not a fake news but the group is a PDP agent clothed in Yoruba Youth Council, it is a sub to Afenifere group.
All I know man is not God, If God decides to change this present administration no man not even Fashola can stop it.
Prof Yemi Osinbajo, our son is doing a great job as vice president.
We’ll re elect him in 2019.
Sai baba till 2023
It from South East to cause disunity among us. We are on unshakable Oduduwa
who are those so called youth!?
Who paid them for the so called attack?
Patience Uchenna For your information there is no Yoruba youth attacking Fasola ..We are solidly behind Buhari reelection bid
