A presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to hand over power to youths if
elected president of the country.
He said this during a meeting with leaders of over 200
support groups and the leadership of TeeCom across the country in Abuja,
according to a press statement signed by National Publicity Secretary, Atiku
Support Organisation, Dr Victor Moses.
The statement was titled, ‘Atiku to work more with the youth
and transit power to young generation says Atiku Support Organisation’.
Atiku expressed delight that more young people were now
participating in politics, adding that he would mentor the young generation and
hand over his political structure to them.
The former Vice-President was quoted as saying, “I will
mentor you and hand over power to you.
“I would like to work more with young people because young
people are more agile, creative, and conversant with contemporary opportunities
and challenges.
“Our administration is going to be a transition of power
from the senior generation to a younger generation.”
Atiku Support Organisation, however, urged youths to support
Atiku, saying he they would have more opportunities under him.
The statement said, “His Excellency, Alh. Atiku Abubakar’s unreserved,
passionate and unrepentant desire and commitment to work with the youth and
hand over power to young Nigerians is a sure pathway to youth inclusiveness and
the right direction towards building a modern Nigeria.
“His public and open commitment, the first of its kind in
Nigeria’s political history to transit power to younger generation places him
head and shoulders above all other aspirants seeking to govern Nigeria in 2023.
“A look at his antecedents clearly proves that his promises
are not mere political rhetoric as he is known for raising young people into
leadership positions. Many of his mentees are today serving as governors,
senators, reps, ministers and in many other capacities.
“For decades, the youth, who are paying the ultimate price of
the APC-General Muhammadu Buhari-led maladministration of Nigeria have been
abandoned in the scheme of things in Nigeria. The truth is that no nation can
develop without inclusiveness and productive youth. His Excellency, Alh. Atiku
Abubakar promised to change the dynamic by working with more young people to
enhance opportunities and productivity.
“We, therefore, call on all young Nigerians, delegates and
non-delegates to rally around His Excellency, Alh. Atiku Abubakar to clinch
victory as the PDP Presidential flag bearer in the forthcoming primary and
return elected as the President of the federal republic of Nigeria in the 2023
presidential elections.”
