Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said, “our opposition coalition got the backing of the Coalition of Youth Representatives today”.
The 2023 Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) said, the opposition coalition is being forged “in response to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians to reclaim and rebuild their country.”
Atiku said, he was inspired when the youth Group which is a multi-party alliance of young Nigerians, on a courtesy visit, handed him a document “on how the participation of young Nigerians could be maximised in the emerging Coalition”.
The opposition coalition is being forged to unseat the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 Presidential Election.
On his official X account, Atiku made known: “Our efforts at forging a robust opposition coalition in response to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians to reclaim and rebuild their country today got the backing of the Coalition of Youth Representatives.
“The youth group, a multi-party alliance of young Nigerians, on a courtesy visit led by AbdulAziz Akinsanya, presented a document to me on how the participation of young Nigerians could be maximised in the emerging Coalition.
“I was inspired by the depth of their proposition and patriotism.”
