The Progressive Northern Youth Forum (PNYF) says President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies demonstrate his acknowledgement of the potential of Nigerian youths.
In a statement on Wednesday, Isah Jabbi, national president
of the forum, said youth leaders from the 19 northern states passed a vote of
confidence on Tinubu for his economic policies during a two-day conference in
Abuja.
Jabbi said the president has taken the necessary steps to
address insecurity in the north, adding that his economic strategies have
boosted job creation and investment opportunities.
He praised the president for the student loan initiative and
youth empowerment schemes, noting that the group will support Tinubu’s
re-election in 2027.
“President Tinubu
recognises the potential of our youth. His initiatives, such as vocational
training programs, scholarships, and youth empowerment schemes, empower young
northerners to contribute meaningfully to society,” the statement reads.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has displayed purposeful
leadership in the country’s governance with recognition of the strategic
importance of northern Nigeria, hence the appointment of credible northerners
in strategic leadership positions in the country.
“The federal government’s appointments into positions have,
therefore, been fair to the north, which has helped maintain the spirit of
fairness that Nigerians expect from the leadership of their country.
“Delegates also
highlighted the passion with which President Bola Ahmed Tinunbu had interacted
with key decision-makers in northern Nigeria on his administration’s policies
and programmes and how the region’s development is central to delivering the
renewed hope agenda in the country.”
He raised concern over criticism of the president by some
individuals claiming to be members of the group.
“PNYF members reviewed the utterances of such leaders and
concluded that at no time were they mandated to speak for the 19 Northern
States, which makes their assertions null and void within the context of
contemporary Nigeria,” Jabbi added.
“The northern region will support President Bola Ahmed
Tinubu if he seeks reelection in 2027, and the north will vote massively for
him.”
