Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, has promised to hand over power to youths if elected president of the country.
The former Vice President said this during a meeting with leaders of over 200 support groups and the leadership of TeeCom across the country in Abuja.
Atiku was quoted in a press statement signed by National Publicity Secretary, Atiku Support Organisation, Dr Victor Moses, titled, ‘Atiku to work more with the youth and transit power to young generation says Atiku Support Organisation’.
Atiku expressed delight that more young people were now participating in politics, adding that he would mentor the young generation and hand over his political structure to them.
“I will mentor you and hand over power to the youths. I would like to work more with young people because young people are more agile, creative, and conversant with contemporary opportunities and challenges.
“Our administration is going to be a transition of power from the senior generation to a younger generation.”
The group however, urged youths to support Atiku, saying he they would have more opportunities under him.
