Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has disclosed his
plan to peopled his cabinet with ministers below the age of 35 years if he is
elected as president in 2023.
The plan, he said, was in line with his long-time belief
that the younger generations have a lot to contribute to Nigeria’s development.
Saraki stated this when some young supporters raise N40
million for his Presidential Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.
Announcing his plans in a series of tweets on his Twitter
page on Tuesday, Saraki said the youths, who are young professionals that
raised the money were convened by Abubakar Danmusa.
He wrote, “Last night, I was truly touched by the gesture of
the young professionals convened by Abubakar Danmusa, who helped to raise the
N40 million for my Presidential Expression of Interest Form and my Nomination
Form.
“These young people, who went out of their way to rally
their friends, family, and coworkers, made contributions of N500,000 to N2
million to reach their desired goal.
“This symbolic gesture, a first of its kind in the history
of our nation, is also a challenge to me. Now, I promise to work twice as hard
as I originally intended. I promise to meet the yearning and aspirations of all
our young people to run a modern government.
“As it stands, this
is a clarion call. This is why I make this promise:
“When I become President on the 29th of May 2023, all the
Ministers of State in my Cabinet will be experienced young people who are under
the age of 35.
“We have our work cut out for us. But the battle to fix
Nigeria has just started!”
