“This donation shows the belief of our young people in President Tinubu’s agenda and their commitment to his continued leadership,” Ododo said.In response, Chairman Yilwatda hailed the move as patriotic, unprecedented, and a sign of rising political awareness among Nigerian youths.
He noted that the funds had been deposited into the party’s account and declared that no further donations or efforts were needed to secure the President’s nomination forms.
“The youths are not asking for favors this is pure patriotism. With this, the form is covered; no one else needs to bother,” Yilwatda stated, expressing delight that Kogi youths were the first to deliver actual funds amid verbal pledges from others.
The youths explained that the ₦100 million was raised through community contributions and fundraising, driven by enthusiasm for Tinubu’s achievements and the desire to see his reforms consolidated in a second term.
