Youth Empowerment:  Atiku’s Plan Of Action  ‘ll  Motivate Young Nigerians To Support PDP- Ibrahim Ajia

 As Nigerians get ready to take a decision on who should be the country’s next president on  25 February 2023, Ilorin West/Asa PDP reps candidate , Alhaji Mohammed Ibrahim Ajia , has submitted that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s plan of action with regard  to youth empowerment will naturally motivate young people in the country to vote for the PDP.

 Atiku, a one-time Vice President,  is the PDP presidential candidate.

While talking to journalists including Team@orientactualmags.com at his Ilorin residence during the weekend,  Hon Ajia had submitted that  no one among the presidential candidates had prioritized the interest of  the young people and women  like Atiku had done, citing his promise to earmark  60 billion dollars for youth and women  empowerment programmes.

‘Alhaji Atiku Abubakar told us that he has set aside 60 billion dollars for women and youth empowerment programmes . This means that 270 million dollars will be coming to Kwara state. This is enough for us to start new businesses.

So, the governance that  Alhaji Atiku will be bringing  will be different from what we currently  have . He has assured all Nigerians that women and youth will be his priority; this money is for business, to create wealth and move Nigeria forward.

So, let us join hands together, come out and vote for PDP on 25th February, the party that will take Nigeria to greater heights’ he said.

Alhaji Ajia also described Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as the best and most qualified  among those seeking to become Nigeria’s next president.

‘We have been saying this  from day one that this country can only work when you have somebody who has  the character,  competence and the capacity, gentlemen of the press, if you look at all the presidential candidates  the only person who can fix the problems of this country is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Not because he’s a member of my party, you can check his track record, his ability to unify the country, his business orientation and his knowledge of security’ he said.

The PDP reps candidate has also urged Nigerians to prioritize experience and competence above money while also sending an important message to the electors in Asa/Ilorin West federal constituency.

‘My message to my people in Ilorin West/Asa Federal Constituency is  that this is a rare opportunity to have somebody that will speak for us, somebody that will ensure  quality, responsive and effective representation in the House of Representatives because there is nothing, I know better like how  government works.

 I understand how government works. I’ve been there and I know what the problems of our people are. One of the challenges we have faced in our federal constituency is  that we don’t have anybody at the centre where the decision of distributing the common wealth of this country is being made.

 None of our representatives has ever been present in that caucus. They just   represent us  in the green chamber. A lot of decisions are being made, people are pushing things why is it that some quarters are having more development than our own?

 I keep saying that one of the reasons we are not moving forward is because the basic things for governance is what we don’t consider which is character, competence and courage and these three things must go with excellence. Somebody who is going to represent you or serve you is going to manage the resources of the entire people and therefore, he or she  must be the right candidate.

 It’s because we don’t have the needed representation, we don’t have those people who can go and speak for us. For the first time, I’m urging our people that they should support PDP across the board and we will bring the best of representation and the best of governance to our people’ he submitted

Commenting on the growing tension in the country sequel to the scarcity of petrol and new naira notes and the concomitant hardships, Ajia urged Nigerians  especially the young people to keep calm and not heat up the polity but rather  wait until the Election Day and help to produce a new set of leaders that will change things for the better

‘We have never had it this bad, I have been one of the virulent critics of the CBN governor from day one, even though at the moment he is trying to bring a policy that ought to help us in terms of  security and corruption but because of the approach and the method of carrying it out. We are now using naira to buy our own naira.

The pains and suffering is unprecedented but the solution is to support PDP that has demonstrated capability  in the past and now ready to do it again excellently. I want to urge all to support PDP across the board, Our party is bringing shared prosperity, we will grow the economy and tackle unemployment’ he said.

Ajia,  a retired security chief, has also  assured that the police and other security agencies will not allow anyone to intimidate  voters on the Election Day.

‘ I want to urge our people that they should not be intimidated by anybody, arrangements have   been put in place to ensure security of lives and property.   The Inspector General of police is working around the clock, he will be supported by other security agencies in Nigeria nobody can intimidate you before, during or after the elections.

All the plans of people trying to introduce thuggery, violence on the  election day are just mere jokes because whoever tries that, we will make sure that the arms of the law catches up with him or her, we will not only deal with them, we will ensure that even their family is prosecuted because  it will be considered as a conspiracy against the  country.

We assure Nigerians that intelligence officers are already outside there as they are planning the information is around everywhere all the plans of bringing in thugs, giving  them  police uniform, all these things are things of the past.

 I caution all political actors that they should desist from this idea of trying to use violence but rather conduct themselves peacefully, for us to have a free and successful election’ he submitted .” Team@orientactualmags.com
