Tony Nwoye, director of youth
mobilisation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign
council, says President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to give youth ministerial
appointments.
Speaking with journalists on
Monday in Abuja, Nwoye said the promise was extracted from Buhari after
consultation with him.
The director, who is a serving
house of representatives member, said it took him and his aides about two days
to get the president committed to the promise.
“Since my recent appointment to
head the youth mobilisation directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign
Council, I have embarked on nationwide consultations with the national youth
polity to reach and understand the disposition and aspirations of Nigerian
youths and students towards Buhari-Osinbajo 2019,” the lawmaker said.
“During the over one week of
non-stop nationwide consultations that l spearheaded, in the company of my able
assistant and deputy directors, comrade Sadiq Abubakar, the APC National Youth
Leaders, Ismaeel Ahmed and Jasper Azulatam, I became convinced that while
Nigerian youths deeply appreciate the improved regime of youth development and
empowerment under President Buhari, from
2015 till date, the polity is ready for Buhari-Osinbajo 2019 if and only if the prestigious good
leadership team is ready to take its youth developmental programme to the ’Next
Level’ of higher youth inclusion in leadership and the economy.
“Upon this all-important
realisation, I and my assistant and deputies quickly came back to Abuja to
consult with Mr. President.
“This round of consultations
happened intensively over a period of two days in which myself, my assistant
and deputies were able to extract strong commitments from Mr. President on his
readiness to take his youth development programmes to the ’Next Level’.”
