Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has pledged to give 40 per cent of appointments in his cabinet to youths, if he wins the 2019 presidential election.

Atiku made the pledge yesterday at the inauguration of the national and state executives of a pro Atiku group, Intellectual Think-Tank for Atiku (ITTA) in Abuja.

The former Vice President, who was represented at the inauguration by the Chairman of All Atiku Support Group (AASUG) Mr Oladimeji Fabiyi, said: “Having identified the critical role of youths in the emergence of any leader, I pledge to give youths 40 per cent of appointments in my cabinet if elected as the president of Nigeria in 2019.

“As a youth friendly leader who thinks and understands the feelings of youth, I urge them to give me the chance to make their dreams possible”.

His wide, Mrs. Titi Abubakar, represented by Sen. Grace Bent, said that her husband deserved to be the People Democratic Party (PDP) candidate in the 2019 presidential election.

She said Atiku was the right man with the political stamina to wrestle and return power back to PDP and Nigerians.

In his acceptance, the National Coordinator, ITTA, Mr Theophilus Ohuoba, said that group would get down to work immediately.

Ohuoba said that the zonal and state coordinators of the group would go back to their various bases to inaugurate their executives.

He said they would move to the grassroots to mobilise delegates and voters to support Atiku’s candidacy.

Must we continually have recycled old men in power

So we will serve under you abi.


We no want

Don't forget

Backtodaura is still on

We will put this thief and that dullard decked in pampers in a care home come 2019

And you will adjust the age of the youths immediately you win to adultyouth.

Shatap there. Na so una dey talk bfor election.

How about 100% of your cabinet?

Nigerian politicians make the most promises, after election they won't fulfill any of them.

Hausa Youths or Nigerian Youths?

We will,,
We shall,,
We will soon,,
We will ensure,,
Very soon we shall,,

That's all we keep hearing from these polithievecians.
Empty promises upon empty promises,, no real action.

Let's just sell this country and give everyone their share, I'm not doing again.



PS : Going by the comments on this thread, I can see Nigerians are no longer swayed by them politicians sweet lies. This is highly commendable.

all na campaign

I hope he doesn’t mean Fulani youths? Because buhari told us earlier that he doesn’t belong to anyone and belongs to everyone!! Took us little time before we finally knew who he really belonged to!!

Na so Buhari promise us heaven and earth, abeg shift

let's assume the lie is truth

which of the youths are u talking about?.. those that are hedonistic? those only spent their time in voting for bbnaija contestants but can't come out to vote during elections? those that are educated but with no sense of reasoning? those that doesn't know anything beyond drugs and sex? those that support criminals in govt?

our youths aren't ready

Tell him not to promise much cos that was the path Buhari took

Believe this at your own peril! These old men should go rest please

In your widest dream Atiku

a thief will always remain a thief....#Atiku

Atiku, Buhari, Donald Duke, Sahara reporter, are very unpresidential

Politicians are all the same
They can promise to build a bridge even where there is no River

This lunatic like Reno

Dem don start again ....another one... Abeg Mona help me with that DJ Khaled meme

Na lie jo

make I hear

Go US come back first...Mr Looter

Una don come again with una empty promises.

HmmM
Dis one resemble pre-ejaculatory promise
"If l go moto, I go buy you Cotonou"

This will make sense if youths form a major part of your campaign buy we know how it ends when same oldies work with you and you are expected to repay their loyalty and work

Nansense....
Let him go and retire...
Youth-friendly ko...
