Engineer Ibrahim Abbar Umar, Director of North East Youth Mobilisation for the All Progressive Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, has urged Nigerian youth to actively participate in the campaign and mobilisation exercise to re-elect President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Umar, who is also the Director of Engineering and Technical Services at the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), made the call in London. He emphasized the need for youth involvement in the decision-making processes that shape the society they desire.

Umar believes that the Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shetimma's administration has laid a solid foundation that supports the aspirations of Nigeria's young generation. He therefore encouraged them to take up leadership roles to build on this foundation. According to Umar, youth involvement is crucial for the country's development, and they must contribute their quota to the nation's growth. He also advised those seeking elective positions to get involved in the campaign and mobilisation exercise.

The NPA Director stressed that youth must be honest with themselves and focus on delivering for the people. He emphasized that the country needs the youth, and the youth need the country. Umar called on young people to come together, make their contributions, and build a nation that provides a free environment, education, and security for all. He also urged them to have ambition and strive for leadership roles.

Umar expressed concern about jobless young people, saying that it breaks his heart to see them without opportunities. He emphasized that the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shetimma has a focus on the youth and is working to provide opportunities for them. Umar believes that the decisions being taken by the government now will benefit the youth in the future.

The campaign director encouraged youth to present their manifestos if they have a dream to run for office. He emphasized that politics should not be toxic and that young people should get involved in the decision-making process. Umar called on youth to support the government and work together to build a better future for Nigeria.

Umar's call to action comes as the country prepares for future elections. He emphasized that the youth must take up leadership roles to shape the society they desire. The NPA Director believes that with the right leadership and youth involvement, Nigeria can build a brighter future for all its citizens.

The Tinubu's administration has been working to address the challenges facing the youth, and Umar believes that re-electing the president will ensure continuity of these reforms. He urged youth to support the government and get involved in the campaign and mobilisation exercise to ensure a successful re-election bid.
