Arewa youths under the umbrella of the Arewa Youth Council (AYC) have met with Chief Felix Idiga, the national chairman, Good Governance Ambassadors of Nigeria (GOGAN), urging him to throw his hat in the ring and contest for President in the forthcoming 2023 general election.

Speaking to The Street Reporters Newspaper in Abuja, the leader of the delegation and President of the virile youth organization in Northern Nigeria, cutting across the 19 Northern States and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ambassador Dogo Shagari commended the GOGAN Chairman for his humility and steadfastness in ensuring the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.

Shagari said that THE fruitful efforts of Chief Felix Idiga in birthing GOGAN, which is made up of patriotic Nigerians who are committed to entrenching a culture of hate for corruption and adherence to democratic echoes in the country’s national life, should be commended and encouraged by all well meaning Nigerians.

Shagari said that “considering the antecedent and exceptional track record of Chief Idiga, he is the most eminently qualified to lead Nigeria to the promise land.”

He added, “We have consequently critically assessed the eminent Nigerians that have indicated their interest to contest for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and demand that Cheif Felix Idiga should join the presidential race.

“He deserves to succeed President Buhari and for good reasons.

“Cheif Felix Idiga straddles the age divide as he is between those that are considered too old for the job or too young and inexplicably inexperienced.

“At his age, he is easily the connection between the youth and the older generation.”

Shagari said who said that his group has been in contact with different youth groups across the country, noted that “as at today 40 million young Nigerians have unanimously agreed to donate the sum of one thousand Naira N1,000. 00 each to purchase the nomination and expression of interest forms for Chief Felix Idiga and they’ll continue from there.

Shagari maintained that Chief Felix Idiga is a detribalized Nigerian that knows no religion or ethnicity, saying that “For him it’s neither east, west or South nor north but one Nigeria.”

Shagari said that “as the country prepares for the 2023 general election, the candidacy of Chief Felix Idiga is the outright tonic needed to consolidate on our democratic journey towards the country of our dream.

“We the youth in the 19 Northern States and the FCT have pitch tent with Chief Felix Idiga because he has demonstrated the capacity of an astute leader in GOGAN.

“Chief Felix will end insecurity decisively, allocate funding to education, reduce youth unemployment, improve the economy and his presidency would build institutions that promote sustainable global best standards and integrity in the economic, political, social and other policy spheres for Nigeria’s development”, he said.
