Atiku Abubakar, notably, applauds the African Democratic Congress (ADC) for assigning significant roles within the party to young individuals.
In a recent development, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has appointed several youths into its National Working Committee (NWC), a move that has received praise from former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
Hon. Hassana S. Dada and Bilyaminu Duhu have been appointed as the Assistant National Youth Leaders for North Central and North East, respectively. Other youth members appointed to the NWC include Jackie Wayas as Deputy National Publicity Secretary, David Itokpa as Deputy National Welfare Secretary, and Hauwa Yusuf as Deputy National Secretary.
Atiku Abubakar, in a statement released by his media aide, Paul Ibe, commended the ADC for its commitment to youth inclusion. He congratulated the vibrant young members of the ADC on their appointments, emphasizing the importance of their roles in shaping the future of Nigerian youths.
The statement also addressed a viral video that has been circulating, suggesting that Atiku Abubakar is hinting at a 2027 presidential bid. However, the statement clarified that the video is from the 2023 election campaign period, not the 2027 election campaign period, and does not indicate a 2027 presidential bid. The statement urged the public to view the video in its proper context and warned against deliberate misrepresentation.
In the video, Atiku Abubakar is seen speaking to journalists ahead of the 2023 PDP presidential primary, expressing optimism about victory in the primaries. The statement clarified that the video is being used for mischief, and the use of the video for speculation about a 2027 presidential bid was described as misleading.
The ADC recently reconstituted its National Working Committee, integrating leaders from a coalition. While the detailed list beyond the youth members was not specified in the search results, the general sentiment is that the party is making strides towards a more youth-oriented leadership.
Atiku Abubakar, in a confident tone, asserted that the future of Nigerian youths must not be shaped in their absence. His commendation of the ADC's youth appointments is a testament to his belief in the importance of youth involvement in political leadership.
