The Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has pledged to involve Nigerian youths in governance.
The former Vice President made the pledge while receiving the PDP House Of Representatives candidate for Ekiti South Federal Constituency I, Henrich Akomolafe, and a group of content creators, entrepreneurs and social media influencers.
However, he said any youth wishing to be considered must have distinguished themselves in their various fields:
“As a man who came from nothing and persevered in learning and achieving against all odds, these young powerhouses remind me of myself and our nation’s exceptional resilience to succeed.
We are now at a time where ideation, innovation, creativity and technology continue to offer a world of opportunities for the younger generation of Nigerians. Many of whom have utilized these spaces to export some of the country’s greatest success stories and reposition our image globally through arts, culture and brilliant entertainment.
Now, imagine if we, as one Nigeria, work to provide the enabling environment to catapult our younger generations’ talents further. How much further would we fly? I will make it my absolute priority to continue listening, engaging and working with more of Nigeria’s superpower, our youths, to witness their optimum potential.
“You are the pride of our future, and as a father of our nation, I am committed to your success. I look forward to merging wisdom and youth excellence to bring tangible solutions and protection to us all. As one, we will get it done,” he pledged.
