As the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary gets underway, a group — Nigerian Youths Decide 2023 — has drummed support for Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, asking APC delegates to vote Osinbajo as the party’s flag bearer for the 2023 poll.

Voting Osinbajo, the group said, would ensure good governance in the country.

At a rally ahead of the convention on Tuesday in Abuja, the group’s Chairman, Mr Makama Paul, said it was high time credible, young, talented and visionary individuals took over the mantle of leadership in the country in order to boost its economic and democratic development.

Paul said the 2023 elections should be not a do or die, but about good leadership with prospects of unity, sustainable progress, and development of the country.

Pointing out that meaningful development can only be achieved in an atmosphere of love, peace and unity, he said with Osinbajo’s “enviable wisdom, vibrancy, and humility”, a better future is sure for Nigeria in 2023 and beyond.

“It is time for Nigerians, especially the youths to plan and secure their future with leadership and empowerment skills for economic development.

“We need a good leader that is ready to help the youth and make sure they are gainfully employed with an interest of development at heart,” Paul said.

Also speaking, a member of the group, Mallam Jamilu, stressed that discipline, focus, and other good qualities of Osinbajo had attracted members from various parts of the federation to pursue a common cause of ensuring that he becomes the country’s next president.

“Osinbajo has demonstrated the type of leadership ability and experience needed to pilot the nation’s affairs at this time of her history and would make a true Nigerian president.”

He also called on political office holders to focus more on serious issues facing the country including corruption, joblessness and crime and criminalities.

Paul said: “The whole essence is to build our capacity and explore ways and innovation that will prepare youths for representation in leadership positions at all levels.

“Nigeria is a country of diverse cultures and traditions which can easily be explored for the development of the country through love, care, and good relationship with one another.

“There is unity in diversity; that is the strength of Nigeria, and will forever remain our strength.”
