President Buhari has advised Nigerian youths to prepare themselves for political leadership.
Buhari made this known while deceiving the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing led by the Acting National Leader, Kingsley Dozie Lawrence, on Friday, adding that his generation will soon leave the scene.
‘‘Youths are very virile and active. A greater part of the Nigerian population is made up of youths. They must always be a factor at all times. Youths must begin to groom themselves for the leadership of Nigeria. I said this to the leaders of the National Association of Nigerian Students yesterday (Thursday) – sooner than later we will leave the stage and you will takeover. You have to equip yourselves properly,’’ he said
‘‘I am glad you appreciate government’s efforts. That is why we are here to make a difference in the lives of Nigerians and on infrastructure, We will ensure that the resources of Nigeria work for Nigerians,’’ he said.
On the strike embarked on by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), the President said he hoped that ‘‘good reason will prevail’’ in the on-going talks between the Federal Government and representatives of the union.
Leader of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing hailed the Buhari administration for stabilising the economy.
‘‘We, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Wing, are partners-in-progress in the Nigerian Project and will extend hands of partnership to any administration that guarantees the interest and welfare of Ndigbo.
‘‘There’s no gainsaying the fact that President Buhari’s administration has impacted the Igbos in some positive ways, but there are still areas the Igbos need more impacts,’’ he said.
