Coalition Tips Tinubu’s Campaign Coordinator For Ministerial Appointment

The Coalition of Nigerian Youths Groups has implored president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to pencil the deputy national youth coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign council, Dr Nicolas Felix, for minister in his incoming cabinet. 

It would be recalled that Felix and the national woman leader of the party, Dr Betty Edu, were among the few grassroots mobilisers who stood firmly behind the former Lagos  governor throughout his campaign in Edo, Rivers and other South South states.

In a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by its convener, Umar Gazali, the coalition urged Tinubu to fulfill his campaign promise of constituting a cabinet that would accommodate active youths as contained in his manifesto.

According to the youth groups asked him to engage Felix in view of his track records and consistent use of modern technology to establish contacts with Nigerian youths.

The statement titled, “Coalition of Nigerian Youth Groups recommend Dr Nicolas Felix as nominee for ministerial appointment,” noted: “As the Nigerian president-elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is set to hit the ground running by submitting the list of ministerial nominees to the National Assembly immediately after his inauguration, the Coalition of Nigerian Youth group wish to state as follows: We are mindful of the fact that our president elect is a man of wisdom and great insight.
