By Muhammad Gazali Garba
The Minister of Youth Development, Comrade Ayodele Olawande, and the Director-General of the City Boy Movement, Hon.
The call was made on Thursday at the Giginya Memorial Stadium, Sokoto, during a youth mobilisation and sensitisation rally organised by youth groups in the state, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the event, Olawande said the Tinubu administration has demonstrated uncommon commitment to youth development through education, skills acquisition, entrepreneurship support, job creation and inclusion in governance.
According to him, the separation of the Ministry of Youth Development from Sports, the National Youth Conference, and several empowerment programmes under the Renewed Hope Agenda are clear evidence that youths are at the centre of the present administration.
“President Tinubu believes in the Nigerian youth. He has given us a voice, a ministry, and opportunities never given before. The best way to repay him is to stand with him in 2027,” Olawande said.
On his part, Shoga said the Movement has registered over 4.8 million members across the country, with structures in all states, local governments, wards and polling units.
He said the Movement, under the patronage of Barr. Seyi Tinubu, would continue its grassroots mobilisation, campus engagements, market and motor park outreaches, and enlightenment campaigns to ensure massive youth turnout for Tinubu in 2027.
Shoga also commended Governor Ahmed Aliyu for his people-oriented leadership in Sokoto State, describing his administration as a model of performance, transparency and accountability.
“Gov. Aliyu has not borrowed a kobo, yet he is delivering roads, housing, water, schools, hospitals and jobs. Sokoto youths must reward performance with continuity,” Shoga said.
In his remarks, the Sokoto State Director of the City Boy Movement, Alhaji Masudu Musa Bashar, said youths in the state and across Nigeria would vote for Tinubu, Aliyu and all APC candidates during the forthcoming general polls.
The rally was attended by youth leaders, student leaders, women groups, APC stakeholders and coordinators of the City Boy Movement from the 23 local government areas of Sokoto State.
