“We will continue to encourage youths to get involved in the country’s political process. And as long as many youths get involved in the political process, we will be able to get the government we want.’’ he opined.
On whether he would declare for the 2023 presidential election, he responded,
“Yes, you are calling me to come and declare for the 2023 presidency. I can’t tell you that I am declaring, but the political process is ongoing. Just watch out.
“But the key role you must play is to pray that Nigeria gets a president that will carry the young people along and work very hard to see that some of the country’s problems raised are dealt with. I believe that collectively, we can work together.’’ he added.
In addition, the leader of Youth Compatriots of Nigeria, Mayor Samuel while speaking with journalists at the event, said the youth were prepared to support Jonathan to ensure that he emerged as the country’s next president come 2023.
According to him, the Nigeria Peoples Party is ready to give Jonathan its presidential ticket to contest the 2023 presidential election.
“The secret to good governance is what Nigeria requires at the moment. Jonathan had been tested and proven, and we are ready to follow him.’’ he said.
