Hon. Sadiq Fakai, Director of Youth Mobilisation Governor Yahaya Bello’s Presidential Campaign Organisation, has commended his principal’s efforts during the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.
Fakai said Bello’s efforts led to the reduction of the cost of nomination forms by 50 per cent for every young aspirant from 40 years below.
The youth mobiliser, who addressed newsmen shortly after the NEC meeting on Wednesday in Abuja, said Governor Bello made it possible for many young persons to fulfill their political ambitions because of the discount.
”He lobbied members of the national working committee (NWC) during the just concluded National Executive Council (NEC) meeting to get the reduction on behalf of his fellow youths,” Fakai said.
He urged the teeming youths across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to support the presidential aspiration of Bello, because, according to him, the governor is the only one that understands their feelings and challenges, and will place the country on the right pedestal.
He expressed optimism that Bello would replicate youth inclusiveness in governance, as currently being witnessed in Kogi state.
”Let me urge Nigerian youths to join forces with my office as I tour the 36 states and FCT, to lobby party stakeholders and delegates to ensure that a youth, in the person of Governor Bello, flies the APC oresidential ticket in 2023,” he said.
The NEC meeting, which was held at Transcorp Hilton, had in attendance President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Senate President Ahmad Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, among other top political gladiators.
