A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Obidike Chukwuebuka, has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has restored the confidence of Nigerian youths through bold appointments, people-driven policies, and reforms targeted at empowerment, job creation, and national development.
Speaking with journalists, Obidike, who also chairs Bidiks Nigeria Limited and Clarivo Oil & Gas Limited, cautioned that it would be “unpatriotic and spiritually dangerous” for any young Nigerian to oppose a president who has demonstrated exceptional commitment to their welfare and future.
“President Tinubu has shown more concern and action for Nigerian youths than any other leader in recent history. He gave young people real hope, not just in words but through concrete policies and appointments. God will not forgive any youth who, out of ignorance or mischief, decides to sabotage this vision,” Obidike said.
He highlighted Tinubu’s inclusion of young Nigerians in strategic positions as proof of his faith in their capacity and innovation. Among them, he named Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim; Minister of State for Youth Development, Ayodele Olawande; NASENI Executive Vice Chairman, Khalil Halilu; FIRS Chairman, Zacch Adedeji; and NSIPA National Coordinator, Delu Bulus Yakubu.
“These are not cosmetic appointments. These young appointees are driving critical sectors of the economy and introducing innovation and inclusiveness to governance,” he added.
The APC chieftain also pointed to youth-focused policies such as the Student Loan Act and the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, which seeks to train three million young Nigerians in digital and tech skills by 2027.
Obidike urged Nigerian youths to remain patriotic and resist partisan manipulation, insisting that Tinubu’s style of governance treats young people as leaders, not political tools.
“President Tinubu deserves the trust of young Nigerians. He is building a future where our generation can lead, thrive, and innovate. Those trying to destroy this effort are enemies of progress. If you sabotage this, you are working against the destiny of our youth, and God will not forgive you,” he warned.
