‘Emulate Usani’s Doggedness’ Grop Tells Cross River Youths

The Youth Say Yes Initiative has urged Cross River youths to emulate the dogged spirit with which Hon. Usani Usani has continuously displayed in his political career if they want to succeed in politics.

The group in a statement signed by the State Secretary of the Youth Say Yes in Cross River state Mr. Joel Eju said Hon. Usani showed strong sense for political development by playing credible opposition politics while other politicians were busy jumping ship in order to get immediate gain.

It should be noted that Usani Usani has remained in opposition against the PDP since the inception of our present democracy. He contested the February 12 2012 Governorship election in Cross River state under the Action Congress of Nigeria.

The group while eulogising Usani said he will be receiving its Achievement award for 2015, it stressed that it decided to honour Hon. Usani because he displayed a strong sense for credible opposition despite the allure of being in the winning party and the threats associated with playing opposition politics.

The group described Usani as a strong mobiliser of the All Progressives Congress who despite the threats that came from the Peoples Democratic Party still sought to remain in the party in order to make it attractive to people in the state. It said Usani as Chairman of the party in the state, also brought unity and sense of direction for the party,

YSYI hailed the smooth transition that heralded Muhammadu Buhari as president of the federal Republic of Nigeria describing it as a turning point in the history of Nigeria. The group said in order to succeed Buhari should ensure that he places credible people in positions of authourity who will guarantee the success of his electoral promise which is hinged on change. “We believe that Muhammadu Buhari has Nigeria at heart and wants to bring about positive change. This change can only come about if credible people who have the development of Nigeria at heart are placed in positions of auhtourity. This is the only way the rot that characterized the PDP era can be halted” the group posited.
