An Atiku Abubakar presidential ambition support group, the Nigerian Youths for Atiku, NYFA, has expressed optimism that nothing would stop their candidate from contesting and winning the 2027 presidential election.
The group in a statement by it’s Director of Publicity, Mr Dare Dada, on Tuesday in Lagos said only God can stop their principal from achieving his life long dream of being president.
Dada said that NYFA on Saturday in Ekiti State, met with the leadership of some other support groups, drawn from over 28 states of the federation, to begin a strategic movement towards the next election.
He said the forum had high hope that Atiku would emerge president to give Nigeria the deserved governance.
“Only God can stop Atiku’s emergence as the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2027.
“The APC-led government has not done well in assuaging the sufferings of the masses,” he said.
According to him, the forum would mobilize the youth en masse to vote Atiku in the 2027 general elections.
Praising Atiku’s virtues, Dada said he was a philanthropist par excellence and that, apart from being a politician, the former Vice-President was also an entrepreneur and great employer of labour.
“It is not enough to amass wealth for electoral purposes but one’s impact must be felt and seen through constant investment in human capital development.
“This, to a large extent, complements the government’s provision of jobs.
“Atiku has a penchant for human capital development; he has demonstrated this in his private life and even as Vice-President when he facilitated the emergence of world-class technocrats to serve during Obasanjo’s tenure,” he said.
Dada reiterated the group’s call on President Bola Tinubu to revisit some policies, to address the country’s economic problems.
Dada said that the removal of oil subsidies and naira devaluation should have been done in such a way that the impact would not be much on the masses.
The spokesman said that the leadership of NYFA and other support groups pledged their unalloyed loyalty to Abubakar and that the former vice-president would give Nigerians a better deal in 2027.
