In a move to ensure that a new face on the political terrain emerges as their sole candidate in the 2027 presidential election, youth from the 19 Northern states converged on Kaduna on Sunday November 3, 2024, unanimously pushing for a new Nigeria.
At the Northern Youth Summit organized by the National Youth Alliance (NYA), various speakers spoke on the need to be united on a formidable front and support a young individual to occupy the exalted position of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
They blamed the economic woes that the country is going through on lack of ideas that would move the country forward.
In an interview with newsmen, President of NYA, Ambassador Aliyu Bin Abbas lamented that the present political leadership of Nigeria is out of tune with the hardship citizens are facing.
He said that the NYA is a movement that has attracted youth from all the political parties, with the sole aim of birthing a Nigeria that will work for all.
“NYA has been able to attract youth from the All Progressives Congress (APC), People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), APGA, NNPP and other parties.
“As you can see, they came here in numbers for what they believe in, as patriotic Nigeria’s, they are yearning for change that will put Nigeria on the right pedestal,” he said.
Ambassador Abbas said that the threats he is receiving from the old politicians will not determine him from using all legitimate means available in ensuring that things are done right in Nigeria.
He condemned the arraignment of minors allegedly for participating in the Endbadgovernance protest, describing it as inhumane and in contrast to the Child Rights Act.
