By Lateef Ibrahim

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.

Posting on X, Atiku wrote: “Congratulations to the vibrant young members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC)—Bilyaminu Duhu (Assistant National Youth Leader, North East), Jackie Wayas, @JWEZEE, (Deputy National Publicity Secretary), Hassana Dada (Assistant National Youth Leader, North Central), David Itokpa @iamhistory_, (Deputy National Welfare Secretary), Hauwa Yusuf, @itz_hawee (Deputy National Secretary) and others, on their well deserved appointments to the party’s National Working Committee.

“The @ADCNig is no longer just speaking about youth inclusion; it is now boldly demonstrating it in action.

“Indeed, the future of our youth must not be shaped in their absence, and I commend the ADC for setting a powerful example by giving them a seat at the table where decisions are made.

“This is what true leadership looks like, not just talking the talk, but walking it with purpose.”
