Speaking through its national chairman, Hon. Kassim Mohammed
Kassim, DYC said such a move is not only an act of betrayal but treason against
the collective wishes of the populace. Kassim said: “What have Obasanjo,
Babangida and Abubakar bequeathed to this country as leaders if not corruption,
nepotism, underdevelopment and values laced with of mutual distrust and
suspicion which has further compounded our journey to prosperity as a nation.
“Enough is enough. We Nigerian youths have allowed such leaders to mortgage the
future of this country. We, Nigerian youths would henceforth use any civil and
political will to resist such attempt by past leaders to arrogate to themselves
to determine the common destiny of this great nation.” Kassim, a serving member
of the Nasarawa state House of Assembly, representing Akwanga South, said the
search for a new president in 2019 is hypocritical and can cause political
disharmony in the polity. He pledged the DYC’s unflinching support to the
emergence and continuation in office of President Buhari beyond 2019.
