With few weeks to the emergence of the 9th National Assembly, Coalition of youth organisations from Northern part of Nigeria have joined others to drum support for Sen. Kabiru Gaya (APC Kano South) to emerge as the Deputy Senate President.
The youth organisations which include Northern Youths Council, Northern Youths Anti-corruption Frontier, Arewa Youths Development Forum, Northern Youths Assembly of Nigeria, Network for Northern Nigeria Youths and Fulbe Global Youths Network, are of the conviction that Gaya’s deputy senate presidency is an unhindered route towards the overall development of the country.
In a comunique signed and issued by the Co-ordinator of Coalition, Aminu Saleh after their meeting, the youths said that Senator Gaya stands out among those offering themselves for the position.
Gaya, the Communique said, will ensure equity and fairness among geo-political and other segments of the society.
The Youths added that being one of the longest serving senators armed with experience of being a former governor, Senator Gaya will ensure a robust 9th Assembly.
The Arewa Youths said that at this trial moment in the history of Nigeria, only experienced leader like Sen. Gaya could serve as the bridge builder for unity of the country.
They called on all senators- elect irrespective of their political affiliations as well as the leadership of the ruling party, APC to join them in achieving a united Nigeria.
