The League of Youth Voters for Tinubu and Shettima, an All Progressives Congress (APC) organisation, has pleaded with President Bola Tinubu to help Nigerians and bemoaned the excessive suffering in the nation brought on by the high cost of living.
The group’s national coordinator, Ayoola Oyejide, stated during a news conference on Thursday in Abuja that the increase in living expenses is intolerable for the average Nigerian.
Insisting that the nation is blessed with bright young people, the organisation encouraged the president to make sure that young people are chosen to his administration.
“Rise in the cost of living is unprecedented and unbearable. The president is expected to revamp our ailing and critically dysfunctional economy,” he said.

“Corruption among public functionaries in Nigeria is endemic. Though the president is strongly opposed to it, we expect him to confront the menace head-on, setting an example of transparency and zero tolerance of self-regard.
“Nigeria is blessed with a lot of talented and intelligent youths but are barely given the chance or opportunity to exercise these gifts. Thank God, President Tinubu has a very good record of grooming and including youths in governance,” Oyejide said.
“Therefore, we expect him to continue in that line, most especially, in his subsequent appointment of ministers, heads of departments and agencies, board members of federal institutions, etc.
“We are using this platform to assure the president and the vice president of the youth’s support and to also assure the youth that President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima have the strength of character and dedication to mitigate these problems and even exceed our expectations.”
