The National Coordinator for #PROJECT2023, Comrade Abba Adaudu has began campaign for emergence of a Youth President of Nigeria ahead of 2023.

This was made known at a World Press Conference on Monday in Makurdi, Benue State, Comrade Adaudu noted that the only alternative to stabilize the country from it’s dwindling shape was to elect a youth as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 2023.

He opined that in 1960 when the country gain her independence and the post independent era, those who were trusted with the responsibilities of piloting the affairs of the country were mostly youth including the presidency, but wondered why in the contemporary electoral history of the country, the Youths were relegated to the background.


Adaudu who is an economist by training and later became a youth activist also revealed that the organization code named PROJECT 2023 was solely aimed at sensitizing the Youths on the need to politely reject youth inclusion in governance but rather embrace the taking over of the governance structure especially at the center since to him, the youth constitute majority in the build up of every electoral process in the country.

According to him, the recently held protests nationwide by #EndSARS protesters who were mostly youths clearly showed that the current crop of leadership at the helm of affairs in the country have failed the nation, hence the need to elect capable youths at the presidency, state and local government levels.

The #Project2023 coordinator as well spoke on other key issues ranging from Agriculture, qualitative education, skills acquisition as well as industrialization among others.
