YOUTHS DECIDE: PRESIDENT JONATHAN VS MUHAMMADU BUHARI; WHO IS MORE PRO-YOUTH ??? Lets do a quick analysis of the antecedents of President Jonathan, Muhammad Buhari, their party and how theyve affected the younger generation with their policies. (PRESIDENT JONATHAN) 1. The PDP under the leadership of President Goodluck Jonathan at their convention elected 30 year old Abdullahi MaiBasira to lead the youths. 2. Few months into his Presidency, thousands of young Nigerians received YouWin grants to set up and expand their businesses. 3. President Jonathan ordered a 100% increase of members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) allowances, from meagre N8,250 to N19,500. 4. President Jonathan birthed the Graduate Internship Scheme (GIS). Under this scheme, graduates who have completed their national youth service are attached to a firm to gain experience while the government also pays the participant a stipend. 5. PDP under Jonathan constructed 12 brand new Universities from scratch, 9 of these 12 new universities are located in Northern Nigeria. 6. Massive involvement of youths in rice farming which contributed greatly in cutting down our food import by over 80%. (BUHARI) 1. The APC selected a 54 year old former House of Representative aspirant to occupy the only position traditionally reserved for young people in political parties. 2. Buhari did not build a single university as Head of State. 3. Buhari disband the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and scrapped subsidised feeding in Nigerian Universities. 4. No youth programme executed under buharis military regime. 5. Buhari paid $500 million dollars for cancelling Jakande’s Lagos metro rail project instead of paying USD450 million to complete same. 6. Buhari told INEC in 2003 that he had 150 cows. He still has 150 cows after 11 years...talk about stagnant. Be honest, who is??
