Youths under the All Progressives Congress (APC) have said the presidential candidate of the party, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is far ahead of his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) counterparts, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi.
Director of the national youth mobilisation (North Central) of the campaign council, Mike Msuaan, stated this yesterday when he met party big wigs in Abuja.
Relying on Tinubu’s antecedents as governor of Lagos State, Msuaan stated that both the LP and the PDP would not pose any threat to the chances of Tinubu winning the presidential poll in 202.
He said the youths in the North Central have mapped out a strategy aimed at ensuring that Tinubu sweep s70 per cent of ballots in the geopolitical zone on election day.
He also faulted claims in certain quarters that Tinubu may not be able to live up to his responsibilities if he emerges president of the country due to his age.
He noted: “We didn’t see Asiwaju contesting with Atiku and Peter Obi. These are people with questionable character. We know what Atiku did to this country. He threw the youths of North Central and this country to the street.
“The privatisation exercise he mishandled drove the youths of this country to be jobless. Under Atiku as vice president, over $16 billion was invested and up till now we are still in darkness. Is that the person that should rule us? Or are we talking of Peter Obi who has zero record in Anambra State?
“We are equal to the task. We have somebody who is competent, whose antecedents have been speaking for him and would speak for him.”
