He revealed that a lot of young people cutting across diverse disciplines and skills had been involved in the formulation of his Policy Document that will be unveiled soon, even as he said that they will play a major role in his administration if given the opportunity to lead the country.
The PDP presidential hopeful stressed that the youth will have 40 per cent participation in his government.
“I have interacted with some of the young people driving the vision of Governor Ayade in Cross River State.
“The work they have done and continue to do is impressive and only validates my commitment to have the hardworking youth play a crucial role in our quest to get Nigeria working again,” he said.
