Hon. Dimeji Bankole at the inauguration in Abuja of committees of the Youth wing Jonathan\/Sambo campaign council.<\/p>\n<p>A statement by the Speaker\u2019s Special Adviser (Media) Mr. Ebomhiana Musa quoted Bankole as saying that the Nigerian Youth constitute 70 percent of the nation\u2019s population, adding that this can go a long way in influencing the outcome of the 2011 polls. \u201cWe have the vote, that is why the PDP needs us, we constitute 70 percent of these votes, Jonathan\/Sambo realizes this, hence the emphasis on youth development and empowerment\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Bankole who was chairman of the occasion said the youth have the power but are not in charge adding that most members in the legislative arm of government across the states are youth. He also noted that members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) have been charged with the responsibility of manning the polls across the country.<\/p>\n<p>In view of this, he said \u201cit is therefore imperative to mobilize a critical mass of Nigerian youth who are expected to drive the campaign aspiration of the Jonathan\/Sambo ticket\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Speaker however cautioned that N50 billion contained in this year\u2019s budget for youth development was not meant to be shared, rather, he said it was to create the enabling environment, and institutions for youth employment and youth empowerment. \u201cwe have been sharing money in the last 50 years.<\/p>\n<p>This has stop, enough is enough. There must be meaningful developments in the country, Nigeria must move forward and take her rightful place in the comity of nations\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Comments are moderated.
