I urge the youths and the public to focus on credible candidates in the 2019 elections; this is the only way to move the nation’s democratic system forward and derive the much required benefits of democracy that has eluded us in the last nineteen years of our democracy.
As a pre-requisite to achieving this we will be organizing debates Amongst the political aspirants for Governorship and presidential candidates for the next elections across the country.
Any of the aspirants that refuses to attend our invitation we will urge all youths to campaign against them and would be automatically delisted from the potential list.
If and when we see somebody that has the credibility we require in any political party , we will put the total strength of positive thinking youths of our country behind such candidates by supporting the candidate and urging other youths to do so without any financial needs from such candidate to win the election in 2019.
The NYFCL and other youths are determined to come out en masse and vote a credible candidate, non of the other already existing popular party,” he said.
The coordinator of the group said that they would campaign for credible candidates with capacity of bringing positive changes for Nigerians.
