The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) State Youths Forum has expressed confidence in the party’s chances of reclaiming power in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a news briefing on Wednesday after a condolence visit to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, the forum, made up of youth leaders from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, outlined their optimism.
Chairman of the forum and Gombe State PDP Youth Leader, Jamilu Karshingi, attributed the confidence to what he described as the failures of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“APC has failed and plunged Nigerians into abject misery, insecurity, and other predicaments,” Karshingi said.
He further highlighted the PDP’s blueprint and leadership under Governor Mohammed and other PDP governors as a strong foundation for success.
“With the party’s strong blueprint and the leadership of Gov. Mohammed and other PDP governors, the youth leaders believe that the PDP is poised to take over power and bring about positive change,” he added.
The forum also commended Governor Mohammed for his development initiatives in Bauchi State, which they described as a model for national progress.
“We also commended the party’s strong blueprint, which would serve as equipment to address the numerous challenges confronting the country,” Karshingi said.
Karshingi pledged the forum’s unwavering support for the governor and other PDP governors, emphasising their commitment to youth empowerment.
“We are solidly behind Gov. Mohammed and other PDP governors, and believe in their ability to lead the country to greatness,” he stated.
Cross River PDP Youth Leader, Brown Boniface, expressed similar confidence, saying, “The narrative will be changed positively when the PDP takes over in 2027.”
Bauchi PDP Youth Leader, Babangida Maliya, lauded Governor Mohammed for appointing young people into key positions in his administration.
“We always respect and salute Gov. Mohammed for giving young people important positions in his government. They are representing the youth very well,” Maliya said.
