The National Youth Council of Nigeria, NYCN, has congratulated the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over his victory at the just concluded presidential election held on Saturday, February 25, 2023.
In its congratulatory message on the victory of the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, the NYCN said the former Lagos State Governor’s victory is an endorsement of decades of relentless leadership and his selfless investment in democratic practise.
NYCN National President, Comr. Sukubo Saraigbe Sukubo, in a message signed by the National Public Relations Officer of the Council, Comrade ‘Dotun Omoleye, said the youths received Tinubu’s victory with much enthusiasm.
“The youth of this country received your victory with much enthusiasm in view of your track record, experience, creativity, and peerless commitment to the cause of our nation, and the development of the younger people.
“We nurse no doubt, that Tinubu’s presidency will further boost the hope and aspirations of the youths to become productive partners with the government across levels in the task of nation-building, in line with your vision and years of proven devotion to attracting younger people into leadership opportunities and deploying their unique skills to productive sectors.
“The Nigerian youths are confident of the President-elect’s exceptional capacity to engage the youth population in creative and other resourceful enterprises for the prime purpose of lowering the bar of insufficient jobs, fighting insecurity, and stimulate the intellectual assets required to develop our nation.”
The NYCN implored the President-elect to immediately put measures in place towards tackling these menaces that have constituted existential hurdles to our innovative efforts by forming strategic partnership with the private sector, as it remains the largest job providers in any country.

“In addition, we implore the incoming President to implement the critical part of his manifesto that touch on the Students Loan, and the promise to guarantee a hitch-free academic calendar.

“While assuring the incoming government of our unflinching support, we urge the President-elect, in the spirit of sportsmanship, and his avowed acceptance of dissent choices, to work closely with other co-contestants in a bid to run an all-inclusive government and reunite the nation.
The organization wishes Asiwaju Tinubu a peaceful and impact-filled government as he pilots the affairs of the country for the next four years.
The group further applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, for conducting free, fair, and credible presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday.
It further urged the electoral body to learn from its past mistakes by taking proactive steps to improve on future elections, especially the forthcoming March 11 governorship and States Assembly polls, as part of its ingenious reforms to further deepen and sustain Nigeria’s unbroken democracy.
