Comrade Ben Duntoye 

Former President, Pan African Youth Union, Comrade Ben Duntoye has called on Nigerian youths participating in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primary  coming up this weekend in Port Harcourt, Rivers State to vote en masse for the Senate President and presidential aspirant, Dr Bukola Saraki.

Duntoye, who is also the Chairman, Nigerian Youth Leaders Congress, during a chat with newsmen in Ilorin, Kwara State yesterday said Nigerian youths should support Saraki to emerge the presidential candidate of the PDP.

He said electing Saraki as PDP's flagbearer for the 2019 presidential election " will make us achieve the Nigeria of our dreams as Saraki will reset a good foundation for the nation.

Duntoye described Saraki as a detribalised Nigerian through whose presidency unity and tranquillity will return to the country.

The activists added: "Young people coming to Port Harcourt should give Saraki their votes. This will make us achieve the Nigeria of our dreams as Saraki will reset a good foundation for the nation's unity and tranquility. Saraki is a detribalised Nigerian. He is a bridge between the old and young, new and older generations. He is experienced and matured.

Saraki's track record as Kwara governor, chairman Nigerian Governors' Forum and as Senate President of Nigeria stands him tall among other PDP presidential aspirants.

"Nigerian youths have not suffered like they did under the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari. Millions of our teaming youths have lost their jobs. Their small scale businesses have collapsed because of harsh policies of government."
