Speaking on this aspect of the body's vision, Orngu said:
“Improving the livelihood of Nigerians is of utmost priority to Atiku Abubakar. He has demonstrated this in numerous capacities which is why we the Nigerian youth want him to be president come 2023.
“We will not rest till he is elected the president of Nigeria. If he is elected as the president of Nigeria, he will be pro-active in addressing the insecurity challenges facing the country, attract foreign investments and give support to millions of small and medium scale enterprises in addition to 40% youth inclusiveness in government.”
Meanwhile, the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had denied allegations that it had abandoned Abubakr for another candidate ahead of 2023 general election.
The PDP chairman, Uche Secondus, issued the denial after meeting with some of the opposition governors in Bauchi.
Secondus noted that the party is being democratic and would ensure that everybody that is eligible to contest for the party's candidacy will do so.
He said:
“This party is very democratic. There is no room for discrimination. Everyone who is qualified, both young, old, governors and non-governors, is qualified and will have the opportunity to contest and we have the space for everyone. If you win you become our candidate.”
