Protect Your Future, Buhari Urges Youths

The Former ANPP Presidential Flagbearer, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has advised youths to protect their future by electing credible leaders.

Buhari, who recently dumped ANPP and opted for the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), gave the advice while opening the state office of the Buhari Network for Change (BNC) in Katsina.

He said the advice became necessary as they have a great future which needed to be protected by good leadership.

“Do not allow your future to be damaged by perpetual poverty caused by bad leadership, hence the need for you to go for credible and God-fearing leadership for the country,” he said.

Buhari explained that he joined the CPC because of the betrayal and the insincerity of his former party, the ANPP and urged all his followers to join the CPC.

He said the CPC had fully registered as a political party and that caretaker committees would be formed at ward and local government levels before the election of their executives.

He then urged the people to register with the new party at their respective wards as there would be no room for appointing or selecting any officer of the party.

He added that officers to lead the party should be elected constitutionally.

Earlier, the Katsina State Chairman of the BNC, Dr Abdulaziz Mahuta, said the network was established last year to mobilise and sensitise people for change in line with the principles, ideologies and doctrines of the former Head of State.

Mahuta said the Buhari and the new party were in the state and the nation at large.

Also, speaking the Kano State Chairman of the BNC, Alhaji Dan-Bilki Komanda, said the establishment of the BNC was meant to challenge poor leadership in the country.

Our correspondent reports that thousands of people, including women, witnessed the opening of the BNC office in Katsina.
