Jalingo Youths Stone Jonathan’s Convoy

Hehe!!! Nigerian youths are not smiling and we can’t blame them o, the situation of the country is enough to spark the anger of the youths and that’s how President Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy was on Thursday stoned by some aggrieved youths in Jalingo, Taraba State.

This would make it the second time in one week, Jonathan’s convoy would be stoned by angry Nigerians (in Katsina and Bauchi states ) and now he was in Jalingo for a PDP campaign rally, and as he was going to the palace of the Emir of Muri, Abass Tafida, from the airport, the windscreens and windows of some of the vehicles on the convoy were destroyed before security operatives used tear gas and horsewhips to disperse the youths, Punch reports.
However, the spokesman for the PDP in the state, Napoleon Adamu,who lamented the incident, said the youths were protesting, because they were not carried along:

“We are happy that no life was lost and we want to appeal to our teeming youths to eschew violence and not to take the law into their own hands.
“Even before the date the President’s campaign was fixed, the youths had been complaining that they were not carried along by the committees constituted for the visit.”

Hmm!!! So just because they were not carried along???
