The Progressive Northern Youth Forum (PNYF) has recently expressed its support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, citing his recognition of the potential of Nigerian youths and his impactful economic policies. The endorsement came during a two-day conference held in Abuja, where youth leaders from the 19 northern states passed a vote of confidence on Tinubu.
Isah Jabbi, the national president of the forum, highlighted Tinubu’s efforts in addressing insecurity in the northern region and his economic strategies aimed at boosting job creation and investment opportunities. Specifically, the forum praised initiatives such as vocational training programs, scholarships, and youth empowerment schemes, which empower young northerners to contribute meaningfully to society.
The statement released by the PNYF emphasized Tinubu’s purposeful leadership and his administration’s recognition of the strategic importance of northern Nigeria. It applauded Tinubu’s fair appointments of credible northerners in strategic leadership positions, which have helped maintain a sense of fairness and inclusivity in the country’s governance.
The forum also addressed criticism of Tinubu by certain individuals claiming to represent the group, asserting that such assertions were not mandated by the PNYF and therefore hold no validity within the context of contemporary Nigeria.
Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, the PNYF declared its unequivocal support for Tinubu, stating that the northern region would vote massively for him if he decides to seek re-election. The endorsement underscores the forum’s confidence in Tinubu’s leadership and his commitment to advancing the interests of Nigerian youth, particularly those in the northern states.
In conclusion, the PNYF’s endorsement serves as a testament to the impact of President Tinubu’s policies and his recognition of the potential of Nigerian youth in driving national development. As the political landscape continues to evolve, Tinubu’s support among northern youths further solidifies his position as a significant figure in Nigeria’s political sphere.
