A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Obidike Chukwuebuka, says President Bola Tinubu has rekindled the hope of young Nigerians through bold appointments, policies, and reforms.
Obidike, who is chairman of Bidiks Nigeria Limited and Clarivo Oil & Gas Limited, said Tinubu’s administration has shown “uncommon commitment” to youth empowerment, job creation, and national development.
He warned that it would be “unpatriotic and spiritually dangerous” for any Nigerian youth to work against the president.
His words: “President Tinubu has shown more concern and action for Nigerian youths than any other leader in recent history.
“He gave young people real hope, not just in words but through concrete policies and appointments. God will not forgive any youth who, out of ignorance or mischief, decides to sabotage this vision.”
The APC chieftain cited the appointment of young Nigerians into strategic positions as evidence of Tinubu’s belief in youth capacity and innovation.
Among them, he listed Jamila Bio Ibrahim, minister of youth development; Ayodele Olawande, minister of state for youth development; Khalil Halilu, executive vice-chairman of NASENI; Zacch Adedeji, chairman of FIRS; and Delu Bulus Yakubu, national coordinator of NSIPA.
“These are not cosmetic appointments. These young appointees are driving critical sectors of the economy and introducing innovation and inclusiveness to governance,” he said.
Obidike also mentioned the Student Loan Act and the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, designed to train three million Nigerians in digital and tech skills by 2027, as examples of Tinubu’s youth-focused policies.
He urged young Nigerians to remain patriotic and resist partisan manipulation.
He added: “President Tinubu deserves the trust of young Nigerians. He is building a future where our generation can lead, thrive, and innovate.
“Those trying to destroy this effort are enemies of progress. If you sabotage this, you are working against the destiny of our youth and God will not forgive you.”
