Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on Friday commended the African Democratic Congress, (ADC), for appointing youths into its National Working Committee, (NWC).
Atiku said the ADC has set a powerful example by including the youths in its decision making process.
ADC had appointed Bilyaminu Duhu as Assistant National Youth Leader, North East, Jackie Wayas, Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hassana Dada, Assistant National Youth Leader, North Central, David Itokpa, Deputy National Welfare Secretary and Hauwa Yusuf, Deputy National Secretary.
Reacting to the development, the former presidential candidate said the future of Nigerian youths must not be shaped in their absence.
