To ensure effective integration of the young ones into decision-making processes and create a representative governance structure, the All Progessives Congress (APC), North West Youth Leader, Abdulhamid Umar Moh’d, has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to let young persons constitute 50 per cent of his cabinet.

Moh’d, in a statement said  the youths contributed significantly to the victory of the APC at all levels, and they deserve to be included in schemes of governing the country. 
 
“The victory of the APC and president Tinubu is, in part, a result of the youth’s concerted efforts and support. Recognizing their contributions would encourage more young individuals to actively participate in politics, thereby creating a more inclusive and representative democracy,” he noted.

He argued that apart from  bridging  the generation gap between the government and the youths, the concerns, interests, and aspirations of the young ones  would be adequately represented in the government by having some of them in the cabinet. 

Moh’d reeled out the contribution of youths  to include active participation and mobilization, adding that their presence in President Tinubu’s administration would  inject fresh perspectives and innovative strategies into the campaign process. 

He said:”The youths of Nigeria showcased an unprecedented level of active participation and mobilisation during the 2023 elections. They actively campaigned, organised rallies, and utilised various social media platforms to disseminate information, engage with fellow citizens, and promote the ideals and agenda of the APC.

This vibrant and energetic participation demonstrated their dedication and commitment to fostering positive change within the country’s political landscape.

“ The youth injected fresh perspectives and innovative strategies into the campaign process. With their technologically adept skills, they harnessed the power of digital platforms to reach a wider audience, facilitating meaningful conversations and promoting political discourse. Their ability to adapt to changing circumstances, employ creative campaign tactics, and utilize social media platforms effectively played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and garnering support for the APC and Tinubu.

He  maintained that  rewarding the youth for their efforts in the APC’s victory would foster a sense of empowerment and inclusion as well as  demonstrate that their contributions are valued and appreciated, paving the way for their continued involvement in shaping the nation’s future.

“Youths actively contributed to helping  Tinubu  become president can be considered deserving of the position in his administration,” he said
