As the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), last Thursday, released time for 2019 general elections, over 300, 000 youths under the auspices of Concerned Nigerian Youth Development Organisation (CNYDO), declared their support and endorsement for former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, ahead of the 2019 presidential race.

This was contained in statement released on Friday and signed by the national coordinator of the group comrade Joel Edegba, where he described Abubakar as man of the voiceless and downtrodden Nigerians.

The statement reads in part, “We in the Concerned Nigerian Youth Development Organisation, CNYDO, with over 300, 000 membership in 30 states have deemed it necessary to support and endorse former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, (Turakin Adamawa), as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, come 2019 by the grace of God.

“We have carefully assessed the political ideology, track record, achievement and competence of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as former Vice President and seen that he is the man that can bring the expected change in Nigeria.”

“We are endeared to his commitment demonstrated towards the welfare and well being of Nigerians that are down trodden and forgotten. We are assuring His Excellency our maximal support for his ambition and as part of his move to liberate Nigerians, the youths in particular from the shackles of unemployment, poverty, social vices and stagnated progress by ensuring that he is elected as Nigeria’s next President in 2019.

“Based on his political achievements, prudent management of human and material resources, a detribalised Nigerian, non-religious and non-region biased nature and understanding in approaching issues that affects the different ethnic and tribal groups in the country, we declare that Nigeria will be in safe hands of Atiku.”

Explaining the rationale and decision by CNYDO to declare its support for the Former Vice President, the statement further reads, “We fell in love with his passion for the ordinary Nigerians by extending his hand of love and compassion to them as he has given lifeline and hope to many Nigerians both known and unknown.

“We also discovered that Turaki has been a man who has thrown his weight behind the voice of the minority ethnic groups in Nigeria, and recently, passionately supported the call for restructuring of Nigeria and true federalism, which majority of Nigerians have been agitating for long time.”

According to the statement, the APC chieftain’s political ideology have been people based, by being centred on egalitarianism, giving back resources to the states for proper utilisation and development of their people and also for all to enjoy maximally what God has blessed them with.

Keep allowing them to massage their over bloated ego. Atiku has lost already..

I might not like Atiku but if I have to choose between him and Buhari, he's got my vote.

As Professor Sadiq would say, if presented with 2 devils (figuratively speaking) you should vote the lesser devil.

Who counted the number of the youths?

The youth must be crazy. If they want to mortgage their future, not me. Obasanjo has ruled (80), Buhari is ruling (74), Atiku too (73)?

We must be stupid altogether.


Are we cursed? Can we also lead this country? Why must we always sell of our birthright because of inducements? I sympathize with the future of this country!

You guys are obviously not part of those who subscribed to this submissive future mortgage.

Its better we go beyond this because nature abhors vacuum.

If there are no young people going out, we will have no choice but these old thieves.

But a movement began since last year, you need to be part of it.

See my signature.
