Councilors’ Forum Wants Member as Youth Minister

The National Progressive Councilors’ Forum (NPCF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to appoint Hon. Muslihu Yusuf Ali as minister in charge of the Federal Ministry of Youths.

In a statement in Abuja the forum said since a new minister is yet to be designated for the ministry, it had become pertinent to appoint Ali, a youth who has leadership qualities to man the ministry.

The statement was signed by the National Secretary of NPCF, Hon. Abayomi Kazeem, who is also a councilor for Mafoluku Ward, Oshodi, Lagos, saying  they are making the call on behalf of APC serving councilors across the progressives’ states.

The councilors said they are endorsing Hon. Ali because he is “sound in leadership and knowledge, a vast experience of governance and politics, a typical grassroots politician who held different positions at local government, state and national levels.”

“Moreover, the patriotic young man of 36 who is currently a chief whip at Kumbotso LG Council, Kano State, and serving the good people of Guringawa Ward, is a party loyalist and Tinubu’s die-hard supporter.

“Ali also registered the forum with the Youth Directorate of PCC under mentorship and the directive made by our principal, Mr Seyi Tinubu, after believing that 99 percent of councilors are youths.

The statement also commended President Tinubu for listening to the voices of the youths and taking action immediately to bring back the mandate to have a youth as the Honorable Minister of Youths.
