Nigerians this is pure evidence that Kwankwaso is just a failure, hard luck and a looser. The hand written all over the wall.

Great Men with Great Visions.

Saraki is just a Joker, which youths?? Dino Melaye and Fayose i guess. King of Mendacity.

loooool, this guys are indeed criminals. They know if Atiku, Saraki or Kwankwaso should loose the primaries they will defect to another party. They are aware that their candidates are all power mongers.

Yuneek:
SPEECH BY HIS EXCELLENCY (DR.) ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI, CON, PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, AT A DIALOGUE WITH YOUTH AND YOUNG ASPIRANTS HELD AT SHERATON HOTEL, ABUJA, ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2018.

PROTOCOL.

1. Let me say, once again, how wonderful it is to see so many talented and purposeful young people at this first edition of the Public Dialogue Series with Political Parties on Youth Candidacy and Party Primaries. Looking at you, I see future leaders who present themselves as capable and worthy to take on the mantle of leadership in this country, and this gladdens my heart.

2. From my interactions with many of you, and with your contemporaries across the country, I can see that we are blessed with a determined generation that stands ready to join with us to power a Nigerian renaissance. The quality of people I see here today affirms my belief that, indeed, you are Not Too Young To Run.


3. I deeply appreciate this opportunity to share some of my ideas about where we are as a nation, as well as the challenges before us as we approach the great decider that is the 2019 General Elections.



4. It is widely acknowledged that ours is a relatively ‘young’ country bursting with tremendous energy, ability and potential. More than 70 per cent of our population is under the age of 40. You are indeed the future of this country. Ordinarily, such a young population would be the envy of many Western countries that are faced with ageing populations, but the dire state of our affairs tarnishes the youthful advantage that we have.

5. Up and down our country today, Nigerians are crying out for succour. Many of our children are hungry. Many people are dying of avoidable or otherwise treatable diseases. Many have fallen below basic living standards, and are now among the 87 million that sealed Nigeria’s position as the country with the highest number of people in extreme poverty. Our young people lack opportunities. The necessary education facilities and system to equip them for the future simply do not exist. We are not creating the jobs needed to usefully engage them in order to grow our economy. And too often, the youth feel shut out, prevented from having any say in the direction of this nation.

6. The harsh conditions of extreme poverty faced by the people, fuels the state of insecurity all over the country. Hunger, lack of education and lack of opportunities push many Nigerians into criminal activities including terrorism. Many of our communities are paralysed with fear – due to incessant communal crises, kidnappings and other social ills, as well as the threat of terrorism. We are failing abysmally to tackle the problems of today and to prepare for the future.

7. Our economy is broken and is in need of urgent revival in order for Nigeria to grow. GDP growth rate has declined. Diversification remains an illusion. Unemployment is at an all-time high. Businesses are shutting down. Jobs are being lost in record numbers, and the capital needed to jumpstart our economy is going elsewhere.

8. Nigeria is perhaps more divided now than ever before. We are increasingly divided along regional, religious and ethnic lines. Nigerians are also divided by class, a festering gulf between the ‘Haves’ and the ‘Have-Nots’. The fault lines of this nation are widening to an alarming degree. We must do something fast, and we must be brave about it.



9. We must ensure the security of lives in Nigeria. As things stand now, no one is safe in this country. No one feels truly safe. We must restore the sanctity of the rule of law and strengthen democratic institutions in order to build a just, fair and equitable society for all. We must rebuild the trust of our people in government. We need a new generation of leaders that are competent, with the capability to rise to the challenges of the 21st century. We must pull this country back together and rebuild, block by block, with dedication and commitment.

10. You will agree with me that this is an urgent task that requires the concerted efforts of each and every one of us. If we look around today, what do we see? What is the condition of our citizens? Where are we as a nation? How are we perceived locally and internationally? Why are we not making the expected progress? Why are we not growing? There is no time to waste. The time is now, to come together to stimulate growth in Nigeria, especially in the national economy.

11. The choice we face in the forthcoming election is either to keep things as they are, or make a radical departure from the old ways. To find a better way of doing things or keep repeating the mistakes of the past. To fix the problems or keep compounding them.

12. It is with all these in mind, and taking account of the challenges that I have outlined, that I have decided to answer the call of teeming youth who have asked me to run for President. Accordingly, I hereby announce my intention to run for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the coming General Elections in 2019 on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). I do so with the firm conviction that I have what it takes to secure inclusive growth for Nigeria and Nigerians.

13. My Plan for Nigeria has inclusion in all aspects of the country’s affairs as a central pillar. Every citizen has the inalienable right to feel a sense of belonging, no matter their background or creed, or what part of the country they come from. No matter who you voted for or what your convictions are, government must work for you.



14. Your generation does not deserve to live in the poverty capital of the world. It is no longer an issue of how we got here, but how do we get out of this situation? I promise you that I will lead the fight and employ every God-given resource available to us in turning things around. I am determined to grow Nigeria out of poverty. We will stimulate the growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as one of the ways of energising the economy and to create wealth for our people, especially the youth.

15. I want to see the youth play major roles at all levels, not only in government but also in the private sector and indeed in every area of Nigerian life. This will be a government driven by youthful energy, innovation and a pioneering entrepreneurial spirit. Nigerian youth will be given all the opportunities to realise their potential to the full within a national framework that guarantees inclusiveness. For youth who have ideas and capacity, we will make sure that there is funding for their ventures; and we shall build on the Made in Nigeria legislation as part of our job creation drive.

16. My plan is to secure Nigeria by redesigning our national security architecture, while adequately equipping our security agencies to fulfil their primary role of protecting lives and property.

17. I will address our infrastructural deficit through aggressive financing initiatives including mutually beneficial PPP arrangements, regular floating of bonds and other financial instruments, which will ensure stable, adequate and reliable funding to see to the completion of core projects especially road, rail and power.

18. My plan is to protect all Nigerians and defend their constitutional rights and freedoms. I will stand for and uphold at all times the principle of the rule of law, which is the bedrock of democratic governance.



19. Ours will not be a selective fight against corruption. The emphasis will be on strengthening institutions, with a particular focus on deterrence. We cannot afford to compromise our institutions with proxy wars against perceived political opponents. We see the fight against corruption as crucial to Nigeria’s economic development.

20. I offer leadership driven by empathy. Where leaders are responsive to the citizens. Where they know that government cares. We will not be indifferent or turn a blind eye to the real concerns of our people. Every single Nigerian life matters.

21. For me, the leadership we deserve is one that will be a source of pride to all Nigerians, one that will be respected and admired in Africa and around the world. It should be a leadership that can hold its own and stand tall anywhere in the world. That is the type of leadership I offer.

22. As a former two-term Governor and currently President of the Senate by the grace of God, I believe I possess a unique blend of executive and legislative experience to push for and implement reforms that will deliver real improvements in the daily lives of our people. I know what it takes to create jobs and grow the economy. I can make the tough decisions when it matters. I will spearhead a new agenda that can transform the lives of ordinary Nigerians in real terms.

23. Believe me when I say that it will not be business as usual. This will be a dynamic government of action that will pursue the growth of Nigeria with doggedness, determination and conviction. I will lead a result-driven administration. We shall set targets with clear timelines to ensure that anticipated deliverables are met. You can benchmark us and hold us accountable. In short, I assure you that I will deliver on all promises. What I envision is a new chapter in governance in this country. We will be driven by what is best for Nigerians.



25. I have deliberately chosen the opportunity of being here with you, my Number One constituency who I see as the future of our great country, to make my intention known. I believe the Nigerian youth are critical to rebuilding and growing the economy, and restoring our national pride.

26. I therefore ask you and all well-meaning Nigerians to join hands with me in this noble cause.

My brothers, My sisters, Let’s Grow Nigeria Together.

God bless you all.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON.

now he is metioning youths simply because the youth formed the larger set of people that votes, it is clear and obvious you just want to come loot our lives and we say no to that. And hope your meeting with the youths was not how to teach them how to loot.

Saraki who is supposed to be a lawmaker but turned to a high way law breaker.

SolutionMee:


OK

But that still doesn't change the fact that all Nigerians know that Saraki is:

Please visit the link below and confirm he your Saraki is all that you labelled him above.

Malikcoker:
Whoever thinks Saraki & Ekweremmadu's emergence is a good omen for GMB's tenure must be a dreamer[color=#990000][/color]

He is just wandering up and down, like Fela. Saraki is just a looser.

There is a big difference between implementing and getting it done and working. PMB is a man that keeps getting it done, not just implementing to deceive people like the so called PEOPLE DECEIVING PEOPLE (PDP)

#GOVTATWORK.

You will all agree with me that 2019 elections is fast approaching, here are some of the possible pairings for the 2019 presidential elections.

Saraki/Fayose

Atiku/Peter Obi

Buhari/Osinbajo

Kwankwaso/Ekweremadu

Who has your vote?

It was this same Trump that called Africa shit hole. Trump is just sick, so PDP guys shouldn't be happy about that. What did they do or say when trump called Africa shit hole or Nigeria no dey Africa again.

Because he is a man that we know is solely after the nations progress

KingSatan:


I love Nigerians. They are sincerely lost to Sentiments.

After much sufferings and torture, they still love this man.

And they say we have a lifeless Person at the helm. A lifeless person but still attracts investors

It hurts me when i see young NIgerian youths paying attention to Reno's lies. Reno is just angry because his boss is not more in power. What about the NSIP Programs, what of the Abuja light rail and completed roads such as calabar katsina Ala highway, Road project in zamfara.

Oga Sowore debate does not really matter, what we need is some one that will deliver. Debate is just like campaigning too and we know most politicians lie when campaigning so go chop your debate.

tomsy2:
What's it about?

The market moni is a program introduced by the PMB/PYO Administration to provide loans to market women
and traders, artisans, enterprising youths and small scale farmers and agric workers nationwide...

Prof Yemi Osinbajo always ready to deliver and serve. keep up the good work sir.

Well i trust PMB on this, he will never reinstate the dismissal of the DSS boss.

Shelumiel:
The man doing this is just another political stalwart , please disregard him .

please why should i disregard him, i think it is you that need to be disregarded.

PMB had already started jailing looters that are in APC too. Where is Joshua Dariye and Jolly Eyama Abi dem dey flex for OBJ and Secondus house?

Everything about Saraki is just dubious. We all know he defected because of his own selfish interest and he his fully aware he won't defeat PMB at the primaries.

NO, you are an experienced looter.

Osinabjo just they deliver.

4601CE:

NEVER

Well done professor Yemi Osinbajo.

DrObum:
Overhaul as in change of personnel?

Lies, this is a fake news, even Trump and Theresa May are happy with the PMB Administration. Babagana Kingibe also said he his happy with the PMB Administration and will not contest against PMB. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/257436-2019-i-cant-contest-buhari-babagana-kingibe.html

The problem with FFK is that he is always high on gum, now the gum is speaking through him.

you guys should ask FFK what his so called PDP did to end the killings when they were in power.

thewesternking:
Is Wike afraid that the anti-corruption body will soon come after him?
When you know in your heart you're a thief

Looooooool bro, I see no reason why the VP should fire Magu. Someone is afraid here.

Definitely they are hoodlums, because BABA refused to dance to their tune, all they do is just to criticize him.
