Youths will set the agenda for Tinubu if he becomes president – Yahaya Bello

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has said the youths will set the agenda for presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, if he wins the 2023 presidential election.

Bello spoke on Tuesday at the Blueprint Annual Public Lectures and Impact Series/Awards in Abuja.

He said the youth would set the agenda for Tinubu if elected president because they “own the future.”

“Today we have the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, in the person of Bola Tinubu you can hate him, but you cannot take his achievements and successes away,” he said.

“He has touched the majority of all the candidates we have today.

“As Nigerian youths, we will be setting an agenda for our next administration, the administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, because the youths own the future.

“Our number one role is to elect, vote for that leader who you know to be able to ensure fair and equitable administration. If we elect a criminal, if you elect a liar, if you elect those who will only come to fill their pockets it will amount to nothing,” the governor said.

Bello added that Tinubu is that leader who would turn the fortunes of the country for good.

According to him, the discourse on the Muslim-Muslim ticket is a sentiment to divide “the country and put us on a different trajectory that will make it difficult for us to unite this country”.

Bello was awarded the 2021 “Politician of the Year”.
