Joseph Yobo says Goodluck Jonathan deserves re- election

Former captain of the Super Eagles of Nigeria,
Joseph Yobo, has endorsed Nigerian President,
Goodluck Jonathan for re-election in the 2015
general election.

The former Everton star, who is part of a political
group known as PDP Ward 2 Ward Initiative, paid a
visit to the President on Saturday, December 19, 2014
at the Presidential Villa for a meeting.

The former Super Eagles captain, who is presently
without a club, told State House correspondents
afterwards: ‘I am here to endorse Mr. President for
his re-election. He has done so well for the youth. 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 is why this ward-to-ward initiative is
building on that legacy. The President has done so
well. The youth now have their own power, they have
their own belief and they should take their rights in
their own hands.

‘The youth should come forward and believe in Mr.
President. Everybody should come out to vote for
him, if he is 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.’
