A group under the auspices of Kogi Transparency Initiative has condemned the election of a 60-year-old man, Chiza Abubakar, as the national youth leader of the People Democratic Party.
Coordinator of the group, Idris Usman who stated this yesterday while speaking with journalists, said with the way the PDP conducted the last congress where the 60-year-old emerged as youth leader, showed that they cannot run the country effectively.
“Electing a man of such age as youth leader is an indication that there is no internal democracy within the party. If they have internal democracy they should have disqualified him. Even electing an old man as national chairman of the party does not speak well of the party”, he said.
According to him, the PDP is insulting the sensibility of Nigerian constitution which stipulates who a youth is and who is not, saying that our leaders do not have plans for the youths of the country.
