The speech read on his behalf by Comrade AbdulRauf Iyanda Bello, the youth leader, Moro LGA, at the gathering extolled the virtues of Senator Bukola Saraki and why he is best candidate for the seat of number one man in Nigeria.
In his words: “This call becomes imperative as a result of our leader’s youthfulness, puting into consideration his past experience and exposure in Political positions in the country.
“Undoubtedly, 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 that push many Nigerians youths into criminal activities.
“Such include terrorism as many of our communities are economically paralysed due to the fear of incessant communal crises that resulted to kidnappings, armed robberies, raping and other anti social vices.”
He added that the present government under the APC has totally failed the country abysmally to tackle the problems of security challenges that bedevil the progress and development of Nigeria as a nation.
“At this critical time that our economy is broken in needs very 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, youths are loosing jobs on daily basis, while international entrepreneurs looking elsewhere for their business due to lack of security arrangement in Nigeria.
“We must ensure that the security of lives and property in Nigeria as things stand for now, no one is truly safe in this country. 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 pragmatic competent presidential candidate in our great party, with the capability to rise up to the challenges of the 21st century. We must put this country forward together to rebuild with dedication and commitment.
“Youths do not deserve to live in the abject poverty of the world. It is no longer an issue of how we got here, but how do we get out of this bad situation? We are so optimistic with the firm conviction that Saraki has what it takes to secure inclusive growth for Nigerians at large.
“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?”
The group lamented slow spare if progress in the country urging the youths together to rally round support for Bukola Saraki to stimulate growth in Nigeria for a better tomorrow of the youth.
