Ijaw youths: PDP making Jonathan’s re-election bid difficult Posted by: Mike Odiegwu, Yenagoa in News 2 hours ago Ijaw youths have accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of making the February 14 presidential election difficult for their kinsman, President Goodluck Jonathan. The youth spoke yesterday in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, through the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide. IYC President Udens Eradiri addressed reporters on the group’s frustration. He said the PDP created many obstacles for the President ahead of his quest for a second term re-election. Eradiri alluded to the crisis rocking many chapters of the party, in the fallout to the party’s primary elections. The youth leader said these were among the roadblocks erected by the party against the President. He said the PDP created internal frictions within its fold by allegedly imposing candidates on its members. Eradiri said the development forced several party members to defect to the opposition, thereby reducing the voting strength for the President.
