Youths drawn from the 19 northern states and Abuja, under
the Arewa Youth Assembly, have asked the President, Muhammadu Buhari, to
appoint more Nigerian youths into his cabinet.
They stated this while appraising the one year anniversary
of the appointment of the 40-year-old Chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, AbdulRasheed Bawa.
The President appointed Bawa as the Chairman of the nation’s
anti-graft agency on February 24, 2021.
The youths said so far they were excited by the performance
of the 40-year-old Bawa, thereby urging the president to put more youths in
positions of authority under his regime.
The group also noted that under one year of the EFCC
chairman, a lot had changed as “looters are being forced to surrender” their
loot as they no longer have a place to hide.
Addressing a press conference in Kaduna, the Publicity
Secretary of the AYA, Aliyu Sani while reading from a text jointly signed by
Mohammed Danlami, who is also the Speaker of the Assembly, noted that the
Commission headed by their peer had taken a giant stride, saying that the EFCC
chairman had redeemed the image of Nigeria youths.
According to him, in under one year, “Bawa has become the
nightmare for internet fraudsters, corrupt politicians, and banks chiefs, among
others.”
Showering more encomiums on the EFCC boss, the youth leader
added, “Bawa had become a nightmare for internet fraudsters, corrupt
politicians, and bank chiefs, among others.
“Bawa has reinvigorated and collaborated with schools mostly
tertiary institutions by extending culture reorientation in the younger
Nigerians to shun corruption and do the right thing always.
“Bawa also revived
the engagement with our religious leaders through the inter-faith dialogue and
development of corresponding manuals to facilitate conscious teaching of their
followers for effective behaviour modification.”
Against this backdrop, the youth, according to Sani, are
appealing to the President to make room for more youth to be saddled with
responsibility in his regime.
“This kind of action, sincerity, hard work, commitment and
dedication is what you get when you have a vibrant youth, who is educated,
whose education is coupled with experience and application of knowledge.
“Bawa is standing tall as an icon for a new Nigeria free of
corruption, a symbol of hope for other youths.
“As a matter of national development, the Arewa Youths
Assembly are pleading with the president to make room for more youths in his
cabinet and in such strategic positions, so as to fight and together restore
the lost glory of our fatherland, we need more of AbdulRasheed Bawa in Nigeria
and in doing that, indeed, we will have the dawn of a new Nigeria,” Sani added.
