The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State Youths Forum has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed Nigerians, causing widespread hardship, but remains confident that the PDP will usher in positive change by 2027.
During a press conference on Wednesday, following a condolence visit to Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, the forum, which includes leaders from all 36 states and the FCT, emphasized their belief in PDP’s potential to reclaim power in 2027.
The Chairman of the forum and Gombe State PDP Youth Leader, Jamilu Karshingi, voiced optimism that the party would be victorious in the next election.
“APC has failed and plunged Nigerians into abject misery, insecurity and other predicaments,” Karshingi said.
He added that the youth leaders’ confidence stems from the perceived shortcomings of the ruling APC, alongside the PDP’s strategic roadmap and leadership under Governor Mohammed and other PDP governors.
“With the party’s strong blueprint and the leadership of Gov. Mohammed and other PDP governors, the youth leaders believe that the PDP is poised to take over power and bring about positive change,” Karshingi stated.
The forum also commended Governor Mohammed’s leadership, particularly his development initiatives in Bauchi State, which the youth leaders believe reflect the kind of governance needed across Nigeria.
“We are solidly behind Gov. Mohammed and other PDP governors, and believe in their ability to lead the country to greatness,” said Karshingi.
The PDP youth leader from Cross River, Brown Boniface, echoed similar sentiments, expressing his belief that a PDP-led government in 2027 would bring about significant positive change.
“The narrative will be changed positively when the PDP takes over in 2027,” said Boniface.
Meanwhile, Bauchi’s PDP Youth Leader, Babangida Maliya, praised Governor Mohammed for empowering young people by appointing them to key positions within his administration.
“We always respect and salute Gov. Mohammed for giving young people important positions in his government. They are representing the youth very well,” Maliya said.
