‎A Niger-Delta youth group known as Niger-Delta Youths for Positive Change, NDYPC, have recently pleaded with Nigerians to exercise more patience with President Goodluck Jonathan PresidentGoodluck Jonathan as he needs more time to achieve his transformation agenda for Nigeria

National President of the group, Mr. Biayeibo Preye, said the President was doing well in areas of construction of new federal roads, local and international airports, privatization of the power sector and many more.

He said that the group never knew that a President from Niger-Delta would be the first to take Nigeria to such an enviable height in development, adding that, “Niger-Delta region has all the reasons to celebrate with President Jonathan, if for nothing, but for the amnesty programme in which about 30,000 Niger Delta youth have found productive engagement.”

“The amnesty programme collectively initiated by late President Yar’Adua and President Jonathan has drastically reduced criminality in the region,” he added.

On the 2015 presidential race and emergence of the new PDP, he said that the division orchestrated by the G7 governors was merely to intimidate South-South region, saying, “The splinter group of seven governors and their supporters cannot stop Jonathan’s re-election.”
