The Grand Council of Yoruba Youths has backed Southern governors’ recent proposals for rotational presidency and the resolution of other national challenges.
It said the governor’s decisions had “far-reaching effects in solving the immediate and remote problems that are threatening the security, equity, fairness, justice, progress and peaceful co-existence among the various ethnic groups of this country.”
In a statement, the Grand Council said: “Above all is the issue of 2023 Rotational Presidency. Your equal voice that supported the turn of the South in 2023 has finally laid to rest the fear of possible contest by any peace-loving aspirant from the North.

“We, therefore, urge Mr President and the National Assembly to genuinely embrace every bullet point of this communique at this crucial moment when the country is at crossroads.
“With this, the labour of our heroes past and our collective struggles in making June 12, Nigeria’s Democracy Day, won’t be in vain. The unity of this nation will then continue to be our collective hallmark.”
The group also celebrated former Lagos State Governor and Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola and the Senator representing Osun Central Senatorial District, Ajibola Bashiru on the occasion of their 58th and 59th birthdays.
