LAGOS — Nigerian youths under the umbrella of Nigerian Youths for Tinubu, NYT, have offered to buy a presidential form for the National Leader of the All Progressives Party (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as part of their support for his ambition.
The group made the pledge while declaring their support for Tinubu at a press conference on Monday in Lagos.
The group’s convener Mr. Idris Aregbe, said Nigeria needs a trusted, reliable, and visionary leader, who feels the pain and anguish of the people and is capable of making life better.
Speaking further, he claimed that the APC national leader is the most qualified aspirant seeking the presidency.
He said, “Nigeria needs a trusted and reliable visionary, who feels the pain and anguish of the people and is capable of making life better for us. I do not think there is any as qualified as Tinubu today, and that is why we are behind him and ready to purchase the presidential nomination form for him.
“We are convinced, going by his track record as a progressive, about his victory and that informs our decision. Besides, it is also a way to stamp the legitimacy of youths on the presidential election process and we shall further ensure rigorous involvement of youths in the Tinubu presidency.”
Giving further reasons for the project, Aregbe said the former Lagos State governor laid a blueprint for the state, hence the reason for their support.
“As a builder passionate about infrastructure, the former Lagos State governor not only laid the blueprint for infrastructure development of modern Lagos but also ensured the productivity of the state. Today, Lagos State remains a model amongst other states in the federation owing to the golden era of development ushered in by the Jagaban,” the youth leader said.
He further stated that leaders of several support groups from southern and northern states have resolved to ensure mass participation in the project.
“Our northern states coordinator, Farouk Jeggo Mohammed Adamu, the South-East coordinator Samuel Isechi and our South-South coordinator Ahab Bourka are working out modalities to achieve our goal,” he added.
