A youth group, GYB2PYB Support Group, has called on the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to allow for a younger leader to represent the APC in the 2023 elections in the person of Governor Yahaya Bello.0
In a statement at the one-year anniversary press conference of the support group, the director-general, Amb. Oladele John Nihi, noted that Gov. Yahya Bello is the preferred candidate for the 2023 presidential election.
He appreciated Tinubu as a great achiever but should support a youthful leader who can do more for Nigerians, adding that the idea of Governor Yahaya Bello to President Yahaya Bello, was conceived and set to motion with the help of well-meaning Nigerians who believe in the need for a total reformation and cleansing.
He said, “Why now that President Muhammadu Buhari promised to hand over to a much younger person come 2023. A promise he made in 2018 during the signing of the Not Too Young To Run bill into law?
“Why decide to achieve a supposed lifelong ambition at a time Nigerian youths are collectively clamouring for thorough inclusiveness and active participation in governance across board?
“Why put your interest above that of the Nigerian youth who constitute the majority of both Nigeria population and electorate; a united generation of like-minded people who will stop at nothing to achieve a set objective?
“Why has Baba kept this lifelong ambition to himself all these while his age group and generation has done nothing but little to get the country working?” He questioned.
