The Arewa Youth Development Ambassadors [AYDA] has commended the appointment of Mr Yazid Danfulani as the Executive Secretary, Solid Minerals Development Fund/Presidential Artisanal Gold Mining Initiative by President Bola Tinubu.
The group warned that any attempt to sabotage the appointment, as it has been speculated, would be resisted.
The AYDA, led by Mr Abubakar Abubakar, said this in a statement in Abuja on Saturday.
He described Danfulani, as a staunch supporter of Tinubu, adding that he was a great mobiliser who did quite a lot for Tinubu’s campaign in the Northwest and even beyond.
“Aside from using his influence to galvanise massive youth support, he ensured a total victory for the party’s presidential candidate.
“The group believes without an iota of a doubt that it is the best appointment that Mr president has made in recent times, especially as a reward for the youth of Northern Nigeria.
It would be recalled that Danfulani was appointed by the president on December 6. and speculations were rife that his appointment had been withdrawn.
Abubakar described Danfulani as one of the foremost youth in Northern Nigeria with a great influence over countless youths and has deployed the same to mobilise massive support for the president.
He said that any attempt to sabotage the appointment by any unscrupulous element would be resisted by the youth.
Abubakar said Danfulani was appointed by the President and someone is trying to shortchange him by bringing on board someone that has not done anything.
He called on the president to remain steadfast with his core loyalists and never to allow enemies of the youth to derail his agenda for the younger generation.
