The National President of the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Shettima Yerima, yesterday, joined the race for 2015 presidency, saying Nigerians are tired of the current ruling class in the country.

The man, who is younger than any of the current PDP and APC aspirants, has declared unfer the Young Democratic Party, YDP.

He said: “The 16 years of PDP has given Nigerians nothing than abject poverty, terrorism, lack of development and so on. It is obvious that even if you give President Goodluck Jonathan another opportunity, he will not give anything to Nigerian than total collapse of the system. Already, the system has collapsed. I think the way the system is now, if we continue to rely and keep hoping on the same two parties, I do not think we are being fair to ourselves. This why we feel that this is a revolution.

“As a people, from our experiences and background, we have a lot to offer this country. But sometimes, the way the political actors behave, one begins to think whether they have an answer to the Nigerian problem.

“If you look at the government of the day, you will notice that the man who is in charge has no control of the government. It is either he is totally blinded by somebody or his government has been hijacked.

“Now, if you look at the other side, in a normal society, all the world, you could see that those who are yearning for power are all young, vibrant people. So, I don’t think it is a good development for us to have over aged people to continue recycling themselves.
