He noted that the youth is a moral host, well-organised and suitable to bring about enhancement and sanity in the Nigerian polity. “
Governments of the past missed the dynamism, drive and focus of the youth, only to celebrate the numerous feats they lacked to understand.
From local to global drifts, the Nigerian youth have proven their worth at the right time to assume social, profitable and political responsibilities in public development.
Atiku Abubakar, will link not only the youths at home, but also place us at the right position of global development drive, ” Mahmood stated.

Our structures across the country have started visiting markets, shopping malls, academies, and also door-to-door movement, ward-to-ward campaign.
The exercise, which started on 1st February, will last till end of the campaign season. It’ll be carried out concurrently across the country with the objective of reaching out to the grassroot to canvass for votes for the Atiku/Okowa ticket and other PDP aspirants at all levels.
As it stands now, every meaningful Nigerian should be working towards defeating the APC from power.
