Prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Obidike Chukwuebuka, has urged Nigerian youths to remain loyal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, saying that working against his administration would be “unpatriotic and spiritually dangerous.”
Obidike, who also serves as Chairman of Bidiks Nigeria Limited and Clarivo Oil & Gas Limited, praised the President for rekindling hope among young Nigerians through strategic appointments, people-focused policies, and programs aimed at job creation and national development.
“President Tinubu has shown more concern and taken more tangible actions for Nigerian youths than any leader in recent times. He offered real hope through meaningful appointments and policies, not just rhetoric. God will not forgive any youth who sabotages this vision out of ignorance or mischief,” Obidike said.
Strategic Appointments and Youth-Centered Policies
Highlighting Tinubu’s commitment to youth empowerment, Obidike pointed to the inclusion of young Nigerians in key positions, including Dr. Jamila Bio Ibrahim, Minister of Youth Development; Ayodele Olawande, Minister of State for Youth Development; Khalil Halilu, NASENI Executive Vice Chairman; Zacch Adedeji, FIRS Chairman; and Delu Bulus Yakubu, NSIPA National Coordinator.
“These are not cosmetic appointments. These young appointees are driving critical sectors of the economy and introducing innovation and inclusiveness to governance,” he explained.
Obidike also cited the Student Loan Act and the 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, which targets training three million young Nigerians in digital and technological skills by 2027, as examples of Tinubu’s youth-oriented policies.
He concluded by appealing to young Nigerians to resist partisan manipulation and support the President’s initiatives, describing Tinubu’s governance as one that treats youths as leaders rather than political tools.
“President Tinubu deserves the trust of young Nigerians. He is building a future where our generation can lead, thrive, and innovate. Those trying to destroy this effort are enemies of progress. If you sabotage this, you are working against the destiny of our youth and God will not forgive you,” Obidike stated.
