Why I Decide To Contest For National Youth Leader Of APC — Abdulahi Majeli, Esq., AICMC

Looking critically at the multiple challenges of our time as youths of our dear nation, any well-meaning and patriotic youth would want to see both his future and that of the generations to come are set on the right footing so that continued peace and unity are enjoyed by all and sundry. This is what gives me both the courage and strength to stand up in doing what I feel is needed to be done, now, not later, in order to create an atmosphere full of prosperity for us all.

Abdullahi Majeli a vibrant advocate of youth participation in leadership, a chartered mediator and conciliator and a Barrister and solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria hails from Gwale Local Government of Kano state and his advocacy in youth participation in leadership is rooted in the firm conviction that the youth posses the needed acumen to introduce new ideas and fresher perspectives to address the multifarious challenges and problems bedeviling our country.

The challenges of our time should be a great cause of concern for every well meaning and patriotic citizen. These cause of concerns stems out of the strong hope for an improvement not only to the status quo but also a better Nigeria where peace and unity abounds for future generations. I draw immense strength and courage from this desire and bolstered by it to do all that is needed to achieve this goal. Growing up as a young man especially during my sojourn undergraduate  at Bayero University, I engaged actively in the struggles that improved the welfare of of my fellow youth during my LL.B. That has no doubt built more passion in me to see the youths being at the forefront of creating a worthy future.

As a lawyer with three (3) years post-call experience, raising the bar and making sure all engagements are both effective and efficient while maintaining strict compliance with the clearly spelt out functions of National Youth Leader under Article 14.22 of the All Progressive Congress Constitution ( October 2014 as amended) is achievable, as functions of office in question is to the mobilize youth for the attainment of party objectives, initiation and implementation of strategic programmes that would endear our great party to Nigerian youths.

It is irrefutable that the youths are the backbone of any society. Yet, these youths are often left unheard. I believe the morale is high and we want to utilize this office to adequately fill the vacuum.

Since the inception of our great party, we  are wary about the communication barrier between the zonal and state youth leaders and this serve as a stumbling block to the success of our party. It is imperative therefore, that strategic programmes are created that will coordinate and maintain the needed cohesion between the zonal and state youth leaders for the betterment of our party.

Nigeria as one of the populous nation with a high percentage of youth as its population, has a major task of managing the human resources within it’s circles. Competent and hardworking people representing the people at various positions has been a problem these days, as anything not filled with the right hands shall not yield good and effective results.

So, it is upon us all, to work collectively to ensure the well-desired goals are spelt in our giant nation’s constitution. Working out the policy and objectives of the party effectively and efficiently will bring a new life and development to our Nigerian people, our giant party and our dear nation. These are things only competent people can accomplish.

It’s high time we repose our confidence and trust on the youths as they have fresh ideas, understand young people better than anybody so as to avoid putting square pegs in a round hole.

In addition, these young people play an indispensable role in the development of any country. As such we should not allow incompetent people to pocket the position that is meant for us.

Nigeria is undoubtedly the only country we can call ours. To that end, making it great rests entirely on us. The decision to make it stand out is our collective responsibility. Let us all with one unified voice make our country great.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
